Control Panel

[Chris Kenward]

Hey Ed

Thanks again for the reply.

Had a look at cPanel while waiting for the Email and realise it's expensive
at $1250 or similar. Is there anything out there that does a similar job but
a little cheaper. Not sure the customer is going to want to pay that sort of
money.

Any advice appreciated!
Chris

Yup - cpanel is great for this.  It allows you/him to quickly set up other
sites, virtualizes the whole thing so that each site looks like it owns the
box, and can even set up a nice chroot'ed ssh environment.
Each site can have unique user e-mail addresses, ftp locations, web logs,
etc.  My ISP also runs Fantastico so that I can install my own 3rd party
apps like gallery, phprojekt, etc.
