Apples and Oranges. The $15-$18 a month you have to pay per CPanel instance is peanuts compared to the amount of headache you have with all the other "beta glue". The price is low enough to where if a customer really wanted something specialized we could throw their own CPanel instance in a VM, and away they go... The SOAP API they have also makes it pretty easy to tie into a billing and/or provisioning & management system. -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor@inoc.net http://www.inoc.net/~rblayzor/
