Next Step in ISP Control Panels?

rdelon writes "Finally there is some movement in the hosting provider control panel department. cPanel and Ensim have been around for years but some people have grown increasingly frustrated with them. WebFaction has developed a new type of control panel. It offers an Ajax web interface that decouples the application from the domain: the root of a website might be served by Ruby on Rails while the /blog URL might be served by WordPress; reciprocally, multiple websites might be served from a single Django application, which reduces the resource usage on the server. A screencast demo of the control panel is available on their blog."

    God, yeah. I normally hate it when companies do things like this.

    In this case however, I'm grateful that we can hear about this fantastic new product. I often think that You need a hosting company that lets you manage your websites and data in an agile way: fast, reliable and quick to adapt.

    WebFaction seem to be a great company! :)
