rslyon Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I think MS approached them to go open source. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) M$ has a 3 year program called WebSiteSpark that has some nice offers to encourage get apsx and IIS development. One of the things that was included was 2 free (25 user) licenses. Resellers can be setup as well. These licenses were 1 step up from their free (5 user/no resellers) license. And yes, it's good that Parallels did get a hold of it. The new site http://www.websitepanel.net/ Edited April 21, 2010 by Roger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scurrell Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Why would MS give a crap about that. I'm sure that's not it.... Think about it. What's the best way to get more hosts using Windows rather than Linux? Cut down on the licensing costs for a decent control panel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 @scruell... that is the impression I get from M$. They are making a tremendous offer for their WebsiteSpark program. Make it all so cheap that IIS will start becoming more prevalent in the hosting market. As for the DotNetPanel... well I installed it on my testbed 2008 IIS Server. If you've used cPanel before you'll probably going to be disappointed. However, unlike Enkompass, cPanels foray into widows hosting. DotNetPanel does not require an Active Directory. Enkompass does. There's more than additional cost to be considered. -Roger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylove4life Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 True, more people will start to use the free panel, but I'm not to sure that will help. It will just bring noob's into opening a hosting business that they have no business doing, until they have the skill to offer it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biapar Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 But WHMCS wil support it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ee99ee Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 There are no changes immediately, they just open sourced it. I have the code for the WHMCS DNP module, and I'll look at the new open-source edition, make any changes necessary, and submit those changes back to WHMCS so they can integrate it with upcoming versions. We're committed to DNP, and now to WebsitePanel, so support in WHMCS will continue assuming WHMCS accepts our changes to the module in the future (if needed). -Chris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quasiknowsitall Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 DNP is really good for us, we use it alot on a multiple servers. I use the DotNetPanel module in WHMCS, it works a treat I am a bit worried that DNP is free, as it will open the market to noobs who crack win 2008, sql server 2008, and offer windows DNP hosting for only a few bucks a month, if you own real licenses it's impossible to supply DNP for a few bucks a month, but then again DNP is NOT easy to setup, so there is some time here. I dont see DNP becoming as big as Joomla is in the open source world though. But big news anyway, and it was surprising . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 we were looking at the control panel for exchange and BES - it seems its now all open source but he exchange and BES control panels its not talked about - i am not sure about Microsoft telling them to to open source - any deals with Microsoft would require regulatory filing and if you were a business and MS tells you to -- we will give you money HONEST if you go open source? - would you?? -- no you would say SHOW ME THE MONEY - then do it - when that happens microsoft needs to inform its shareholders of the purchase 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithshn Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Dot net is one of the software which build the web and windows applications. There is the matter of the glad that now dot net is become a open source. It is now very useful for the programmer to make any application easily and in given time duration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamz Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 We are not able to get this to work... WHMCS was working with DNP without issues, but anything now causes SOAP exceptions like below...

pod Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I can confirm clearing the php cahce works! We had to goto C:\php5\tmp and delete the wsdl files in that directory. Then everything worked again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostedcomputing Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Read above, latest WHMCS module works fine with WebsitePanel, unless you have a WSDL caching issue. Onionman, where can I get the latest WHMCS module ? Do you mean the built-in module in WHMCS 4.2.1 ? Of is there a custom version ?
