Both cpanel and h-sphere

[antic]

If hsphere was a per-server licence then I could understand, but it's per-account, so it just seems odd to have one server taking care of everyone. The lag for me is constant, I'm afraid.

that being said, it's the only down-side to an otherwise great service - oh except for the folder-security an sub-ftp things for which there is a solution:

(just another nudge)

antic, the one CP server taking care of things, to some extent is VERY nice, that way if the CP goes down, the sites stay up (for the most part) and if the site goes down, the CP stays up. However sometime sit seems the CP isloaded, the server is pretty much maxed out as much as one can get an x86 server right now, and I highly doubt I will be able to talk Brad into getting a brand spankin new 8-way AMD Operton server that way outperforms a xeon, but costs 3145 PER CPU(3145x8 in other words, just for the CPUs, no MB, RAM, or anything, but the couple TB of ram might be helpful with hsphere java junk) without any other hardware.

Domain question... I signed up for a Vortech shared hosting account with a domain name which I now need to change to another domain name. I want to lose the original one completely and just swap over.

How do I go about changing this? Do I sign up for another domain and then cancel the original one after copying all my files across? And will I still only be charged for one domain then?

I can hear the groans already..

Have to remember some of that lag isn't the control panel server though at all, it has to go and talk to the server the domain is being added/changed/updated on and wait for the response, so much of the perceived "lag" probably has nothing to do with the control panel server at all.

Resseller HSphere question - can I change the design to "text only" to get rid of those stoopid icons on my "quick access" page? They're really distracting and makes the page too big for a menu, which is all it really is.

When I go to the "look & feel" page under "admin user", it seems to want to give me design options, but there's only "left menu" in the design dropdown. What happend to the "text" option?

Admin CP / Look & Feel / Design Setting - I don't know why you don't see it in the Admin CP. You first choose text menu to edit, then you have to turn it on for others to use.

Although I don't think it really changes how much horizontal space the CP takes up.

You're right, it's a lot. Not designed for 800x600 users at all. They could stand to shrink the fonts a bit. Would be nice to have an editable style sheet or something.

I have been using both. I like Site Studio for my own use with small sites. But, the performance is better on Cpanel. The big dividend on Cpanel is the php apps in the fantastico menu.

By the way you can move a Site Studio developed site to another location(on a Cpanel account).
