Hi all,

Can you help me please to choose between Plesk 9 and DotNetPanel ? I want to start a web hosting business based on Windows Server 2008 but I haven't decided yet about the control panel.

I already tested both control panels, and my main conclusion is that Plesk 9 is MORE complicated than DotNetPanel.

What control panel is more secure and more stable, Plesk or DotNetPanel ?

Thank you for your help.

From a user perspective, they are about the same.  From a hosting perspective, if you ever plan on doing non-Windows hosting then Plesk would be a smarter option.  Have you considered Helm?

Hi Jeff,

For me, it seems that DotNetPanel is more user-friendly than Plesk. I am planning to host only asp.net applications, so from this point of view I think that DotNetPanel is a better option.

I haven't consider Helm because I read on many forums that its support for IIS7 is not very good.

Hello,

I fully agree. DotNetPanel will be good choice.

I feel Plesk is a good option we have used it  better to handle and security is too good.

Hi, i have beeen using all most all the control panels but frankly none of the windows control panels are near to linux control panels like cpanel etc. but surely plesk 8.6 performs decent as the plesk 9 still need some work to be done and bugs to be removed. Dotnet panel has a good future performs well but plesk 8.6 rules rightnow in the fight of windows control panels.

I've come across interested thread on this topic.

Hope this helps :)

I vote for DotNetPanel, faster and more friendly than Plesk.

I'd too suggest you to go for DotNetPanel. It is more user friendly and it will make your task of hosting multiple domains and accounts easier and convenient

I’m using DotNetPanel for now, which friendlier for windows 2008. Just be patient Plesk 10 will release.
