Here are some screenshots from the inside the system, for security reasons, can’t share demo password because it’s connected directly to the server

Hard Rejection for Server Security Project

First, for the security server project, HTTPS is not enabled. It’s a bit weird Secondly, most of the things you’re providing with the script comes with cPanel and other management. If I was able to manage the server by myself, either I would get a server comes with the “management panel” or it means that I don’t need a panel ( I could manage it by command ) With this aspect, I don’t think this would be an option to sell as “template” and it targets really small numbers - theref…

Hard Rejection for Server Security Project

You’re missing my point that the rejection is not related to the features, it’s about if it can be sold.

[iyosfs]

I believe that your logic and what you mentioned doesn’t apply here.
Yes 90% of the functions related to cPanel can be done through cPanel itself but it’s like saying
Oh wait i have Visual Composer why do i need Elementor
Or i have green apple, why do i need red apple

This being said, let explanation the reason behind this item.

Say you need support on your server but you don’t want to share your username and password, simple you can just create user account with permission to limited access functionality for that user.

Say you want to make access for someone to only be able to create emails, or reset email password, you just give that user access to email

Say you want to get support on a script u purchased, or you want to have it installed, simple just create user and give limited access to database and specific file in file manager and not your whole server

And i can go on and on and on

Now when it comes to Sales there is absolutely no way you would know if specific item going to sell or not, and to provide context, i can show you a lots lots of items on the market which has been approved recently and 90% of them does same functionality as the one before

This is absolutely no reason for rejecting an item that has tons of features that u uber the cPanel.

Thank you !

You’re trying to sell me a script that what cPanel does. I can manage the same thing editing/creating the cPanel theme

[123Simples]

@iyosfs

With myPanel I assume you are creating a script for users who are not resellers? Is that correct or have I misunderstood?

I’m a reseller, so I use WHM and allocate CPanel accounts to my users.

I cannot explain why you may have been rejected, but it would be useful to understand at least is this system for RESELLERS who offer their clients hosting, or is for one client who already can access their own hosting?

It looks in theory okay though

[123Simples]

Also as @ki-themes says, as a reseller we can manage to tweak settings but it would be useful to understand more about your script. We both understand for security reasons you cannot post login details on an open forum.

[iyosfs]

You can, but would you spend the time managing a theme for cPanel ?
Plus permissions for cPanel is technically not exists.

Not trying to sell u my friend, just trying to explain that the logic behind “ not sellable “

[ki-themes]

@iyosfs

would you spend the time managing a theme for cPanel ?

I won’t, that’s my point. There’re already themes available for cPanel and it’s unnecessary feature to make the admin panel different.

@iyosfs

Not trying to sell u my friend

I meant, not to me, to the buyers, as a template. ( figure of speech )

[iyosfs]

Let’s say you purchased a hosting from company A “ shared hosting, reseller …etc “

Now you have a cPanel account to manage your hosting.

This is a php script that you can manage most of operations in cPanel right from it without the need to log into the cPanel account every times you need to create database or email…etc

You can also give access to anyone for specific thing

Say on your hosting you dont wanna share your account details,
You can just create a user on this script, assign a permission to access only emails, or databases or files with specific folder

So when that user login, they will only have access to the places you gave them access to and won’t be able to do anything else on your hosting account.

Plus it’s easier that cPanel, faster to perform operations, and much much smoother.

[ki-themes]

All of the things you’re mentioning could be managed by cPanel.

@iyosfs

every times you need to create database or email…etc

It’s usually once in 3 months or in a year. No problem to login to the cPanel ( Additional extension on the browser that you can save the password, e.g : password manager )

You’re trying to re-brand the cPanel with different marketing. It’s still same hosting control panel management and there’re still some free resources that anyone could access. ( webmin / cwp panel )

[123Simples]

@iyosfs - I’m tied up with other bits and bobs at the moment - I’ll get back to you soon!

[iyosfs]

You are not wrong but at the same time not correct.

You maybe log in once a year to do something, but people log in daily to perform operations such as emails, database, file’s management, FTP…etc

I do feel like we are going in a loop here, but let me tell u this.

Take a look at these items here they made 500+ sales where they inly do 1 operation and like u said you can log into cPanel to do this

Cpanel Email Signup Plugin

Cpanel Email Manager

[ki-themes]

In almost 11 years, yes, they sold 368/260 copies ( 33/ 23 copies per year, roughly ) but these work as “addition/extension” instead of “full management” as yours.

You may have chance if you split the features and add/upload the items as " cPanel extension " instead of full management.

@iyosfs

I do feel like we are going in a loop here, but let me tell u this.

Agreed. This would be my last comment, I would leave the page for @123Simples , he may have different points.

Anyway, good luck!

Hi @iyosfs

@iyosfs

Say you need support on your server but you don’t want to share your username and password, simple you can just create user account with permission to limited access functionality for that user.

That bit sounds great - the idea.

Okay looking at this and please forgive me if I don’t quite understand your work involved in this project would be the following:

RESELLERS - Although I am a reseller of hosting, it doesn’t mean that I have absolute control over the WHM or certain aspects of the hosting provisions imposed by my companies. I guess unless you had a dedicated server, whereby you could determine precisely what aspects you installed, then you would always in someway be tied into what your provider allows you to do (and not do).

Is this script only of any use to someone running their own dedicated server?

If I was a CPanel Grunt (for want of a better expression) using shared hosting is this script something a casual user could use?

It’s difficult to give the right feedback because quite rightly you cannot share the login info, but I will bow to your intellect and say that this is beyond my comprehension and that might make me sound naff, but I would love to offer some great advice other than say this. Your screenshots look great and as an accomplished author (yourself I mean) I hope that someone can help you.

[iyosfs]

Oh noo no
It’s running of cPanel only

You need a cpanel in order for this to work
