@deltastar , I disagree with you, in both way they are not better, you could say maybe it's good because it's Webhosting company they know what a web hosting need. Comparing with CPanel no that will be wrong.
But you have to put in this way, as you reference "
A control panel owned by a hosting company". But a control panel manages or driven by Oakley Capital investment, where they took WHMCS, PLESK, etc... do you think it's a good choice?
Well you've to realize Interworx, maybe will not be up to your standard or mine, but I don't believe they will screw you as CPanel did, CPanel force all customers *year payment to migrate to monthly, you don't have any unlimited customers, no notification, less time to adapt, increase over 400%+ in my case and other. Look, they start to spread hate among people, that is wrong.
I will be more happy to work with Interworx compare with CPanel, I know CPanel will be better but why I should support a company where they don't have a respect for you and show the middle finger, they force you to migrate to something you don't agree as my agreement was paying each year that amount.
No wonder why people start ditching Cpanel, I'm 100% is not only the money, it's just the respect they get after 5/year+ they support Cpanel, we have people where they are over 10/year.
Look it's 2, September, so for them we're NULL, NONE, ZERO, 0.
That is so wrong.
People speak about DA, yes they are cheap but they took the same path as removing year payment but I'm 100% and they are confirmation were the customers are not been affected or forced to change the price like you have done Mr. CPanel, Yes they lost me because with remove of year payment and no alternative I'm not migrating to DA, but we got more option. Cpanel, I'm out as I will never attach a monthly payment and I can't afford to do that.
PS: DA has not changed the price, they just remove the lifetime and year payment*
Thanks
