Goodbye CWP, I’m done for good.Alright folks, this is my last post here.
I’m officially moving away from
Control Web Panel and I’m not looking back. This isn’t a rage-quit. It’s a long-overdue “operations sanity” decision.
Why I’m leaving:- Admins missing in action. Too often it feels like nobody is steering the ship.
- A few loud users run the forum. If you ask real questions, you get politics instead of answers.
- Support reality: Asking for help here is mostly useless and if you positively criticize something, some people act like you committed a crime.
- The usual reply: “Go buy a paid panel then.” Cool. That’s exactly what I did because when clients are paying me, I need reliability and support, not forum drama.
- Updates went for a toss: There hasn’t been a meaningful update in forever (feels like a year+). PHP updates feel like a wishful dream, roadmap talk stays talk, and the product momentum just isn’t there.
- Updates + security: CVEs get discovered fast… but fixes feel slow. And in between, you’re left patching holes with your own custom scripts just to keep things tight.
- DIY forever: Fixing loopholes and making things “production-safe” shouldn’t require custom scripts for half the stack, but here we are.
- DNS cluster (sorry): It’s not production-grade. I ended up writing my own DNS cluster scripts and they’ve been more stable and predictable than what I got out of the box.
My take (simple):Open-source is amazing
when it’s actively maintained and supported.
But if you’re running a business, charging clients, or your uptime matters, then
support and accountability aren’t “luxury items.” They’re the basics.
So yeah… I finally did it. Moved on.
And honestly, if you’re reading this while firefighting the same stuff every week maybe you should consider it too.
No hate, no personal beef just facts from the trenches.
Wishing you all the best. Logging off for good...--
