apnscp is to new customers as what a book of advanced Calculus is
to a child in sixth grade. Certainly, at first glace it looks
overwhelming and even the title might elude you, but rest assured,
once you have been accustomed to our system, it is easy to manage
and is incredibly powerful. apnscp is not only a control panel,
but it is a highly praised interface to managing your domain.
In fact, we receive more lauds for apnscp, than our services that
we offer.
apnscp was born on December 26, 2002 as our answer to differentiation
between the thousands of other hosting providers that we actively
compete with daily. Admittedly, apnscp was a proof of concept.
It arose as a need to further integrate billing information into the
control panel, but from there, we expanded its core to cover much
more than just billing. apnscp is built upon the Ensim WEBppliance™
core, a popular control panel for hosting service providers; however,
it lacks modularity and easy expandability in its native state.
That critical component of Ensim WEBppliance™ is the reason
that apnscp exists. We ripped apart the internal pieces of it,
just as a car mechanic would do to a car, to discover that not only
could we add a transparent PHP layer ontop of it, but we could achieve
our visions of a 'perfect' control panel.
Progress has been steady and fueled by our wonderful customers. Without their constant suggestions, apnscp would not be as multi-faceted as it is today. Certainly, we put our own ideas into apnscp; yet, apnscp is the way it is today thanks to those that can envision the same way that we do our talented customers. apnscp 1.0, the initial release, gave way to the subsequent minor revision levels and finally the interim skin which has become the standard skin for apnscp, which was integrated into the control panel on August 9, 2003. The longest hiatus for development has been between 1.0 and 1.5. Unfortunately, perfecting an already heavily lauded control panel is a difficult task; however, we continue to envision the growth of apnscp and merge the ideas into it. While apnscp 1.5's sluggish development growth appears on the outside to users, the inside will be an efficient, heavily-integrated, solution to our users.
After reading a few paragraphs about apnscp in general, it is time
to break it down to what you gain through using apnscp. One
of the biggest gains that you get is our utmost familiarity with the
system. We deconstructed it from the top, down to the bottom
and rebuilt upon the internal structure. Additional benefits
