Over the past month we have had a growing interest in cPanels up coming control panel for Windows and many of our customers are interested in using it when it is released. We have had our eyes on this software since cPanel first released the news that they have started developing the software and we have agreed that we will be signing up to cPanels Enkompass for Windows 2008 Servers when a stable version has been released.
Currently we are unsure when a release will be released stable enough for companies to start using but we will keep all our customers informed.

cPanel, the leading Web hosting control panel software provider, has released the beta of its first Microsoft Windows Server® 2008-based product. Traditionally a Linux- and FreeBSD-based supplier of hosting automation tools, cPanel is collaborating with Microsoft to provide its customers with a greater choice of platform selection with Microsoft IIS7.
“Microsoft has shown a strong commitment to the hosting industry over the past several years,” said J. Nick Koston, CEO of cPanel. “cPanel’s Windows development team feels that Microsoft IIS7 offers a robust, high-performance Web server with increased security that the industry will quickly adopt. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and IIS7 with its modern architecture and support for legacy products was the natural starting point for our expanded product offering.”
