Capisso VMPanel

Per node. $3/mo is fine. $5/mo with added support SLA? Up front fee is fine but I don't recommend it - I would say change it to a master fee (the panel being the master and the nodes being the slaves) of $10/mo. So like Solus you pay $10/mo base and add on with nodes as you go.
Add a bunch of support options while retaining decent support offerings on the base fee and you'll make just as much money.

That's the aim of the game. Why do you think Phil from SolusVM doesn't give a shit? He pays a bunch of Indians $1/ticket to say "This will be forwarded to someone who knows something" and then he does 1 hour of development per week and tells people "soon"..and everyone falls for it. Why do you think it's so easy to knock SolusVM off their horse? One competent development team needs to come together, pay a design team, and spend 2 weeks pumping out miracles..and tada, provided they aren't morons - SolusVM dies in an instant. Literally.
Curse the guy. When you make that much money, you stop developing, and you hire developers, and then more, and then more, and then more. With the client base he has, the monopoly he has, and the money he has, the panel should be competing with high end cloud services.. not stuck in the dark ages using mysql_.

Pardon my ignorance, but I never heard of Open Source software that needs to be paid for using it on own. I can understand if the payment is for the support and quick fixes.
I like the project, but I second this... Please let people know who you are...
thanks for that, was looking this for my own panel.

LOL.
Yeah, because the fact that your source being completely public won't make it completely trivial to null the license checking, right? Right? Oh, wait, yes it will.
Uhh, LOL. I do not think anyone would care about someone removing a pointless license check from a piece of open source software. See also: the giant X-Chat Win32 debacle of last decade.
vBulletin < 3 (and possibly 4?) were like this? Jelsoft used to spend a fortune on their legal team to DMCA all the people running nulled copies.

And then they called it Open Source software??
Good point
I think they went with "The source isn't compiled but you require a license to use it".Francisco
Hey there, I'm Luke Strickland, clone1018 is my online alias. I'm a software developer and hosting fanatic, but it's understandable you've never heard of me, I don't generally make new products like this. In case you're curious these are some of my other projects that I've created. If you'd like to know anything elase please just ask away and I'll do my best to help you.
It's understandable really, there aren't many companies even dealing money that are open source. But there are companies doing it, and we're one of them! Also about your "quick fixes", those would be committed for everyone to use, free of charge
.There are some really great companies that are following this movement, here are some of my favorites.
Sure! And I fully expect 80% of our "customers" to be people who have nulled the software, piracy happens no matter what you do. And I don't plan on hurting my product by trying to protect against it. Hell, all you have to do is remove the license modules (I'll post source when it's done) and then remove the requirement from the validator of the form.
Profits of a company are needed for security audits, advertising, support and development. My hope is that by licensing out the software, I can continue to devote time to fixing and improving it. If the software was open source and free there would be no possible way to support/develop the project after it's "complete", it would just fall off and become "that free panel".
I sure hope not
.Of course!
