A Review of the HostFlow Control Panel

Like any other type of product there are good control panels, average control panels and poor control panels. One of the most important determining factors is if the control panel is user friendly. Different types of users have different control panel needs. Beginners need easy to use and understand control panels while veteran webmasters need more advanced features. Regardless of experience, everyone likes a control panel that is easy to navigate and find information.

With so many control panels available on the market, it can be difficult to choose which is best. There are many reviews of cPanel and Plesk available across the Internet; however, HostFlow is a new control panel interface that has few reviews. HostFlow was recently introduced to the hosting automation industry and has rich, innovative features that are shaking up the conventional players.

One major advantage of HostFlow is that it is the only software developer on the market that creates control panels and dedicated servers. These are sold through indirect and direct sales channels. Other features of the software include integration of modules such as:

• Customer management
• Help desk
• True open architecture
• Billing management
• Order management
• Service management
• Server management

This makes HostFlow one of the most powerful and diverse hosting business management automation software. Their pricing structure is simply a one-time fee that includes unlimited domain names. This is an extremely attractive option over the competition, especially to big businesses that need many domain names to sell different products and services.

Other features include, SSL and SSH support, POP3 and IMAP email infrastructure, web redirection, virtual DNS, shared and dedicated hosting available, sub-domains, IP and name based hosting, CGI, load balancing and a replicated hosting environment.

HostFlow’s biggest appeal is their claim to offering a solution that will fully automated all aspects of the hosting delivery process. For businesses this may be the ideal solution due to the integration of their numerous modules into the software.  This will help businesses stay much more organized and result in success.

HostFlow is a new, innovative control panel that is making waves in the industry. They are creating ideas that are making the big name developers rethink their strategy toward business hosting automation software. Since HostFlow has such a huge advantage over other business control panels, they will continue to develop industry leading ideas and their success will grow tremendously.
