Livingston, NJ (May 9, 2001) - SmartHosting services (www.smarthosting.com), a StepWeb Corporation (www.stepweb.com) company, has introduced a fully customizable webbased Control Panel to its customers.
While a Control Panel is a product offered by most webhosting providers, the quality, ease-of-use and layout differs drastically, one from the other. Customization of that Control Panel, is a field that has not been entered by too many webhosting providers as of yet - at least not the level of customization that is desired by the customer, or especially, the Reseller.
"While our Guide has existed in over 5 years, as the leading Control Panel in design, layout and functionality, we wanted to give our customers more, with the ability to tailor their Guides to suit their needs and wants, be it color, layout, logos or more features."
Resellers will benefit most from this new feature, as it will allow to match the colors of their Control Panels to those of their commercial website, for example. Logos, banners and extra features can be added randomly by the customer throughout the Control Panel.
The reason behind the lack of customization of Control Panels, is believed to be caused by the difficulty for the developers of the Control Panel to construct such an architecture that will allow for the end-user to securely and easily edit what's already been built - and not lose any functionality.
"It was a great challenge for our developers, but it gives our customers the flexibility they are unable to receive anywhere else."
Webhosting providers offering customization already, tend to limit their users to only being able to change the logo or if the provider outdoes itself, it may let you change the background as well. This barrier has been destroyed by SmartHosting Services.
The following are some key features of the customization of the Control Panel offered:
· Customization done via a webbased GUI! · Ability to change layout · Customize tables where data is contained · Modify existing icons into your own · Frames can be switched on and off · Expansion of features by adding your own
