Hi,
this is a project near and dear to my heart.
Back in 2007 we realised that a server administration panel was a necessity for our customers. Our customer support is – as you know – excellent, and you can rely on us doing these operations for our customers within minutes. But this is one thing. Today, in the age of realtime web, people want to restart their server instantly. They want to get realtime stats of the machine, order IPs, move IPs and setup Loadbalancers themselves within seconds. So we started the Flosoft.biz Panel project.
We had a first version (0.1) late in 2007 / early 2008, some of our customers might remember it (black, grey, red), but this early system had some obvious shortcomings, so it never went past the beta stage.
So late in 2008, the idea came back around. Work started on the Panel 0.2, and we got a good base done. However, the backend of the system was not secure enough, so we scrapped that codebase too, and just kept the look and feel of it.
So, here we are. Early this year we started working on 0.3. Based off a very secure PHP framework, we built this version of the so far most promising Panel version, 0.3. The development of the Panel has been going quite quickly in the last few months, but there’s still a long road ahead of us.
Now, if you have a Dedicated Server with us, we’d like to invite you to the private alpha test of the panel.
Currently, the Panel just displays some basic server information, and gives you the option to powercycle (hard reset) it.
If you’re interested in testing this panel, please join our labs mailinglist by sending a blank mail to: labs-subscribe@flosoft-services.net
Have fun testing,
Florian Jensen& the Flosoft.biz Team
