Website Builders: Page 2 - Enhance Control Panel

Hennie Kopage as far as I can tell will work fine using the WHMCS module for those who use WHMCS, so it should be fine with Enhance, but for the ioncube manual installation necessary. I'd like to compare SitePlus but where is it lol?

I think Kopage should be a good solution for clients not interested in WordPress/Joomla but need a system to build and manage a decent website. I think we'll be able to offer a similar (better actually) experience compared to cPanel (this fugly panel now that I'm ready to dump as fas as I can!)

Hennie

MediaServe Yes. Been cPanel fan for over 15 years, until I found Enhance. Enhance will "kill" cPanel in few years.

necrom did you have a look, i am thinking of deploying it in the next three months.

kyzoeadmin We're taking a slightly different approach for the time being at-least until ionCube toggle is available in the next few weeks and building something which meets the needs of many small business without the need for their own hosting account, for everything else there's Wordpress or other similar CMS on Enhance.

kyzoeadmin

necrom interesting looking forward to learn more about it.

Plesk bundled Sitejet with every Plesk license. Not bad, but I woud prefer it or similar with Enhance.
Sitebuilders are still needed and wanted by many customers. 😎👻

Kopage looks great but is crazy expensive

kyzoeadmin

Indeed crazy expensive, WE go work with WP ultimo and setup a Sitebuilder with them, we'll launch it on a seperate server, point domains to it and there you go.

$200/mo for Kopage is a value in my book. They doubled my server licenses to 20 without asking. It’s much better than Site.Pro or SitePad.

Adrien

Hello @MediaServe, From my understanding, the self-hosted Kopage solution offers a lifetime license for Kopage Plus at $175 USD per site as a one-time payment. However, I was unable to locate any information pertaining to a monthly $200 USD price for 10 sites as you mentioned.

Could you please clarify this particular pricing option for me? If this is a new or specialized offering, I'd appreciate any details that could help me understand it better.

Thank you.

MediaServe

Adrien Not 10 sites but 10 server licenses. Looking back at the Kopage website I too don't see this pricing easily, but if you search for kopage pricing you should quickly uncover https://partners.kopage.com/pricing which has those details.

Adrien

MediaServe Thank you! I'm embarking on a trial and am thankful for the insights you've shared within the Community including Kopage 🙂

Personally, I don't want to use web builders. I don't want them to clutter my servers. If they are introduced, it's only optional for customers who want it.

MediaServe

AdamM I use Kopage for only clients who want an easy to use builder. It doesn't install anything on Enhance by default. Kopage is a hybrid between Builder & CMS. It's no more different than WordPress or Joomla. Kopage gets uploaded by FTP to authorized servers when a client needs it. It's really IMO the best hosted builder I've experienced so far.

Adrien

AdamM You can simply have a server dedicated to Kopage and voila. I think you're very right in the sense that we should not be mixing workloads. I will be separating Kopage with the rest of the load (WordPress and static sites).
What do you think @AdamM MediaServe

@Adam Could you bring us the best quality Website builder if you do so and not the most famous one? From my reading on the Web it looks like site.pro is very average in terms of design and end result.

I'd like to add that WordPress FSE themes are getting very very close to these paid Website builders. One could imagine a WordPress FSE theme deployment instead of going towards these 1/3 party builders.

Any ideas how Kopage would handle pricing for enhance if it were integrated as it would just be hosted on one server?

It would be amazing if it could be integrated to be set up as an "App" on a Website.

May be interesting for the existing WHMCS/Lagom users https://lagom.rsstudio.net/products/website-builder/

kyzoeadmin

I saw this too, but this is a Builder for one site, the site where WHMCS is running on so you can easily integrate WHMCS in the site and not have a separate setup for the client panel and the hosting website.

What we are looking for in this topic is a website builder to offer to client, like wix.com or other wix like builders.

necrom

kyzoeadmin Hmmmm, could be wrong but I just signed up for the demo and had a play, it very much seemed like it was targeted towards giving end-users the ability to publish websites to a specific location albeit it doesn't actually publish in the demo (hopefully it prompts for FTP details oslt).

https://demo.rsstudio.net/lagom-website-builder/site-builder is an example of a web hosting company offering it to end users

EDIT: If you scroll to the bottom you can see coffee shop and hotel templates, so if I understand you right this could/should offer wix like capabilities to a web hosting running WHMCS+Lagom and hopefully Enhanace.

EDIT2: No idea why it says Weebly on that page, will have to dig deeper.

The RS Studio builder is an application to build the Hosting Company's WHMCS page. It is not intended as a customer page builder.
