hmm sounds like a good idea..
okay back to the topic .. the reason some people want to use cpanel is
1. they are newbies
2. they are lazy
3. they dont have the time to write a script for 2 days..
who am i?? i'm all the above .. now i heard a lot of good things about h-sphere i never used it .. i couldnt find any freehost in here that offers it (maybe i didnt look hard enough).. but i would sure like to try it..

deeplist,
I too have been in the time when finding free hosting with CGI access was near impossible. I too agree that people nowadays are starting to become greedy on space and bandwidth. The only reason is because they do not know. I myself own a few websites, and the largest of websites, earning $50/month, uses only around 30mb, and is run by mambo, which takes up 10mb alone. The answer is to educate those who need to know. Yes, back in a few years ago, learning about the internet was harder, but why make it hard for the kids, when it is possible to make it easy for them? Why be selfish?
What I don’t understand is why you think asking "I need cpanel with fantasico" is greedy. CPanel is really today’s standard, which is just like saying “I need Windows XP”. Ensim, Plesk, etc are just like the alternatives like Mac. Giving no Cpanel would actually be more annoying for the administrator.

this whole post only points to consumerism. if you look at the things people buy/get, they don't necessarily NEED it. It's just there for the taking so they do it.
Back when we used to be Plesk only and did not provide any Cpanel service,
we often responded to requests on here asking for "Cpanel" and from those
responses, we got many new signups for hosting even though we told
everyone that we were using Plesk exclusively and did not provide Cpanel.
The point that I am trying to make here is that when most users say that
want "Cpanel", they are actually simply saying that they want some kind
of control panel irregardless whether that be Cpanel, Plesk, Ensim, or
some other control panel.

Talking about people wanting too much, I see requests like this all the time:
It is people like this ^ that simply burn me up because they are demanding, they don't want to do anything whatsoever, and they don't really know what they need. They basicly look at what everybody else is asking for, and then simply copy them.
The bad requests and things would stop if there weren't so many kiddie hosts willing to host them. New people come and see that people are getting hosted for free and have 2GB disk space and 20GB bandwidth. Then they think "Hey, that must be the norm. I'll request that."
After that, some reseller comes along and offers unlimited space and bandwidth. Because the requester is either dumb and ignorant, or new, they go with it. The cycle then starts over again.
