I'm sure joepie isn't the only person working on a VPS panel replacement. They're probably just keeping quiet about it because they're not looking for donations, since its probably going to be a paid replacement for SolusVM.
Make that 4. Doing something different and more than just a panel though.
The difference is that I see 2823492983 people making posts or comments that they're making a Solus replacement, yet, I haven't seen any results from them. I'm willing to give a monthly subscription fee to whoever wins.
Regardless of how they want to be grouped, i'm still not seeing any actual product :P Feel free to prove me wrong, though; i'm in the market for such a thing.
@Damian: monthly budget?
It depends. If it's closed source and I can't contact the developer to add specific features, then $not-more-than-Solus-per-month
If it's closed source and I CAN contact the developer to add specific features, and get results that they're actually add, then the budget is $more per month.
@Damian
hmmm... $15/month for unlimited slaves and one master?
Closed source.
That's a reasonable price, depending on the product.
True
If it looks nice and works well...
That's good to know
Proxmox may be worth looking at, Its free, supports KVM and OpenVZ, has a tun of good features.
Solusvm is nice, but i lose some required features like backup, migration and so on. I waiting of onapp that they implement iso mounting features. Then they have all i needed.
Maybe as a customer or individual, not as a service provider. Its not really intended for that purpose.
The best thing @GetKVM_Ash have said. Not like He doesn't say good things lol. Good guy with good ideas.
If you did a VPS CP, I'd personally suggest:
One Master($15)
Unlimited Slaves(free)
One Master($15)
Unlimited Slaves(free)
That would be unsustainable. Just the support would cost more. Please.
Why do slaves cost support money?
@Corey. I was referring to $15/month per license. More slaves potentially means more support too but.
The whole 3 years we were with solus I think we opened maybe 5 tickets.
Development, support and all associative expenditures cost real money. They have to put food on the table too, and only $15 is very unlikely to cut it.
$10 base and $10 per slave is a very nice strategy. If you're too cheap for that, you probably need to re-evaluate your own business.
'If you're too cheap for that'....
I don't think anyone here said they were too cheap for anything we are merely discussing the price. If $15 was unlikely to cut it, I wonder how WHMCS does it? Are you saying that WHMCS is not nearly as advanced of a software as solusvm?
I think there's probably a bigger market for billing software than there is for VPS management software.
$15 is fine if it's not your primary source of income.
WHMCS is purely for hosting. But I agree whmcs can be used for anything in the hosting market.
When it has good features and nice support, up to 50€ per Node should be ok.
I'm fine with solusvm pricing, obviously everyone likes "free" or less expensive software. But I've had a couple of support tickets over 14/15 Months and they have always give a pretty fast resolution time.
One Master($15)
Unlimited Slaves(free)
Don't think this is going to happen for a commercial product. I could understand master free and slaves paid for
Yea - if the product is better than solsuvm - charge more
One Master($15)
Unlimited Slaves(free)
This would not be a good idea.
Perhaps (i'm sure you've done waaay more research on this than I have), however, WHMCS fills 100% of our needs at this time, while Solus does not.... there are more general hosting companies than VPS companies, though,
I don't see any major flaws, or features missing in SolusVM at the momment, they're more than acceptable for us.
I've seen the rumours of some bugs recently, but no solid evidence that they exist.
