just wondering, why are you re-inventing the wheel? Lots of time, hours
and development went into CPanel and Plesk and the like... do you really
think you'll do as good a job? Those have been through various versions
and iterations already...

Just saying... the license fees for Plesk or Cpanel will no doubt be
multiple thousands of dollars lower than developing a similar app from
scratch....
