most of the things we are hosting can be called as applications. We should ideally be calling them as containers or applications / apps or a more common umbrella word!
the word "website" is too limiting for the things enhance is already supporting!
please share your suggestions.
I have had this conversation with Adam in the past and he said they would consider allowing custom terms in the future.

Its chosen because "container" will confuse the average person. Its logical to us and after all its a docker container... However, when the average person logs in and they see "websites" they immediately think "ahh yes my website" instead of "what is this super technical nerd word 'container'?????"
Usually a good approach to UX is "the user is an idiot" That covers the people who shutdown when they see a "technical" scary word like "container" or "application" and think app on their phone.
@JohnB I would like to differ in this. The reason why it should be called “container” is because you can put multiple “websites” in it. Map domains / sub domains to it. You cannot do that to a “website”. The word “container” is so common. It’s literally in everyone’s kitchen.
The word “website” is in fact misguiding in the very sense.
It would be great if all the text in the panel is actually dynamically written and there is a language file which we can override similar to whmcs. It would be great if it persists like whmcs https://developers.whmcs.com/languages/overrides/
We are still waiting for this!
Customers are really getting confused with "Add Website" when they need is to create an addon domain.
Please @Adam allow us to do this soon.
Coming next month is a new branding setting which, if enabled, will give your customers an interface more similar to cPanel, with a single page of icons and no left hand menu (no "new websites" option).
This is mainly for hosting companies performing mass migrations from cPanel who want the interface to look as familiar as possible to their users. However it could also be used if you want to encourage customers to use addon domains rather than separate websites.
Thanks @Adam! Excited to see it!
Initially a branding setting. We may add a package level override too but it's tricky in situations where a customer has more than one package.

cPanel is popular but not well optimized. I believe that Enhance will bring a better UI/UX, Managed Control Panel. Hoping for the best.
Yes, this setting doesn't replace the standard UI, it's just an option for hosting providers who want to provide a more familiar interface during bulk migrations from cPanel.
I think with the new v12, this will be possible via the different UI.
I like websites, other foss panels using terms like containers were initially confusing to me compared to Enhance which instantly made sense.
