the
story
The realization that
many webmasters and site owners would prefer (and
sometimes require) complete control over their
hosting environment became evident when our own
development customers started to become frustrated with the
limitations sometimes imposed by shared hosting
providers.
The solution was
simple, a dedicated server. But with that came it's
own frustrations; primarily the management learning curve, and the consuming effort of
working in multiple interfaces.
While many web hosting
control panels existed to bridge this gap, most were
geared towards multi user hosting and nearly as
complicated as managing the server itself.
The answer was a
structured control panel for the dedicated
stand-alone server; one
without the fuss and overhead of a multi-level
approach. With this mind, we began the design
architecture, put it into development, and almost a
year later echoPANEL was born. |
