Well, no ones like the cobalt cp. It can't do anything, then again neither can plesk. Plesk can't even create a mysql db (not sure about 2.0).

I guess I'd have to say Plesk if I had to pick between the two, although I'm not really a fan of either.

The cobalt panel is meant to be basic, The cobalt isnt meant to be a heavy duty server.

If you want to provide a proffesional service to your users, I would recomend Plesk.

and you cant provide a professional service on an RAQ?

I never said that. I just think ( even though I do no like plesk at all ) that it would provide a more proffesional feel to the web host, and would provide more features. Thats why I would "recommend" plesk over cobalt.

Plesk2 allows to create mySQL dbs & has phpMyAdmin interface integrated. It is a much better one over earlier Plesk versions. Still it lacks few things though.;)

Actually I am not going to "provide" anything :)
I just bought the cheapest plan I could find available on the internet, and they have both colbat and plesk so i wanted to know which would be better for me as a user :)

Thanks for your responses. I will go with plesk !!

Plesk 2.x is really nice compared to the earlier version, much more control in 2.x then the earlier ones that's for sure.

The cobalt CP is horse sh*t compared to Plesk.

So far so good. But its too early to know how good they are. Ask me again in a month :)
In any case for $5 per year that i paid I didn't risk all that much :)
