If I'd go with any control panel for Windows that would likely be Plesk as it's actively developed by a known company. It may also be known by many of your Customers already. cPanel has stopped working on their solution a long time ago.

safe? 

One reported vulnerability in 2012.  The vendor patched the vulnerability within 2 weeks of it being reported http://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/12063/Websitepanel.html


No signs of development activity since last June and their website is down which isn't a good sign as far as future development and issuing of patches.

I wouldn't call Website Panel unknown since Microsoft has actually recommended it in the past as one option for web hosters http://www.iis.net/learn/manage/provisioning-and-managing-iis/websitepanel

I am not sure about security but few year ago I was try to use website panel and its take 2 days to setup it properly. Most of addons/module was not working and I was frustrated to find solution on google and try to fix it.


So as per my experience If installer is not good then keep away from it.
