To All You Hosts - The Ultimate Control Panel

Although it seems half the startups on the net have fallen, the hosting industry seems to have picked up. Recently I entered into the arena of dedicated hosting and have since found myself looking at a wide array of new problems.

Perhaps the most prevalent issue is customer accounts and server control. As it stands, there are very few good tools out there to let server owners both manage their own system but also create and manage users.

Cut to the chase - I have decided to start developing a high powered server administration tool for a multi-tier level. The first level will allow an administrator to configure their server almost like webmin. It will also allow for the creation of new users and the modification of existing users. These users will have access to tier level two and be able to add their own pop3 accounts, mysql dbs, and whatever other features they have enabled. And so forth…

My question to all of you out there is simply what features would you like to see? I don't care if your suggestion is a simple as having a copy of phpMyAdmin with each account or as complex as a separate httpd.conf file for each reseller. Whatever your thoughts are I'd like to know them and that goes for pricing ideas as well. Thank you for your assistance and I hope this tool can become something many of you use.
