Found a new interesting win cp

Inspedium Corp. - Software, Hosting Control Panel, Mail Server, Windows 2003, Windows 2000 Site very slow, however. Check out later on.
Ooh, another one. This is free, but still not well integrated. ZPanel - Taking your hosting to the next level.

Current issues with Windows hosting

- prefer mail server to run on linux with virus/spam protection but can't find a decent one except HSP.

At this time, looks like:

x Ensim is a NO due to its old software package
x Plesk is a NO (100 domain-$40/mo) due to missing bandiwdth control
x Hsphere (psoft) is very good, but a NO at this point. ($3.5/account ~ $175 initially) Don't want to waster another machine for the cp.
/ Helm is pretty native and stay with windows pretty co-operatively, but no mail & DB quota, etc... (1 server promo, $129 at Helmtastic.com)

Update 05/2005: I think Plesk 7.5 has quite a way to go ...
