Are you running dozens or even hundreds of concrete5 sites on your own server? Worried about how to manage updates across all of your client sites? You need concrete5 for cPanel!
Included features:
- Add a concrete5 icon to your client’s cPanel interface which lets them setup multiple concrete5 installs in their webspace.
- Skip the entire database name/password part of the standard concrete5 install procedure and simply ask for an eMail and directory to install concrete5 to.
- Includes a WHM interface that shows the system administrator all the concrete5 installs on your server, even if multiple installs have been made on a single customer account.
- Includes the ability to force an upgrade on any or all of the concrete5 installs on a box from your central interface!
concrete5 for cPanel is a cPAddon for Webhost Manager (WHM). WHM/cPanel is a web server management tool used by many web hosting companies to provision and manage the accounts for their customers. Add a copy of WHMCS to your mix and you can even manage all billing and support through a simple standard interface. It’s very cool stuff, we use it for hosting ourselves and have been pleased with it for years. NOTE: You will need root access to a dedicated server or VPS to set this up.
There’s nothing stopping you from simply making concrete5 available to your hosting customers through a installer script like SimpleScripts or Softaculous, but if you’re looking for a bit more control and safety, you should consider our cPanel add-on for concrete5.
In the early days of hosting here at concrete5, if we had a new version of concrete5 we wanted our clients to have, we had to actually go through and manually upgrade each site by hand. With up to 200 sites per server, this process ended up taking DAYS of our time and often created unplanned down time for our clients. What an expensive nightmare! Now with concrete5 for cPanel we can simply select all and hit update. Dozens of hours just turned into a minute or two of work.
Now you can have the same tools we use here, for a mere $180 per year, per server. That’s just $15 a month for every box you run this on. Sound too good to be true? Whelp it isn’t. In fact, if you're in education we'll gladly give you a license for free! We’re just eager to have as many concrete5 installs out there as possible so we just need to cover our costs on this product for us to see it as successful. There are of course, a number of things you can also choose to buy from us:
- Setup services - If you’d like us to actually configure your server properly and also let you know how we think it will stack up from a performance standpoint we’re happy to do that for a one time fee of $895. Just use the form on this page to ask for more information.
- System Administrator Training - If you didn’t already notice, we offer a training course on best practices for concrete5 hosting. You should take that, $295/person.
Not sure if this is the way you want to solve this problem? There's other choices!
