WebsitePanel: An Open Source Website Manager for Windows VPS
WebsitePanel is the most popular website manager portal for the Windows Server architecture. With WebsitePanel, you will be able to easily deploy popular website applications such as WordPress and Joomla with just a few clicks. Get a graphical, web based view of all of the files located on your shared web hosting account. WebsitePanel gives you access to log files concerning your website. This gives you a granular view of all of the activities, hits, visits, access attempts and more concerning your website.
WebsitePanel vs. cPanel
WebsitePanel is the leading website manager for Windows Servers. cPanel is another popular website manager that is used by web hosting platforms built on the LAMP platform. LAMP is an acronym for Linux, Apache, PHP and MySQL. cPanel is typically used as a website control panel interface for servers running Linux. WebsitePanel is a similar offering that is built for Windows Server.
Although cPanel was built on the LAMP platform, that doesn’t mean that a website using WebsitePanel can not leverage Apache, PHP and MySQL. In fact, WebsitePanel can give you a web based view of any services needed to run applications that are built for the LAMP platform. Just because it was built for LAMP doesn’t mean that it can’t run on Windows. Those who are used to the cPanel website portal will quickly grasp the concepts of managing a website using WebsitePanel.
Run ASP & .Net Applications with Ease
Perhaps the number one reason our clients buy Windows Server based hosting is the fact that they can deploy ASP and .Net applications over the web using our shared website hosting solution.

Since your shared hosting account will be hosted on a server using an SSD drive and 1Gbps connection, your applications will function rapidly and responsively.
