DotNetPanel has become open source as "WebsitePanel". We have only just learned this and have removed DotNetPanel from the ServerTastic website.

The announcement from DotNetPanel is copied below and a FAQ has been posted on the DotNetPanel website.

We are excited to announce that SMB SAAS Systems Inc. has revised theDotNetPanel codebase and posted that new code under the new name "WebsitePanel" to SourceForge.NET as an open source project:

Websitepanel

WebsitePanel is a line-of-business application and we recognize the benefits of using an open source development model as a more agile and flexible way to meet the growing needs of the web hosting community.

This will enable the hosting and development community to directly contribute to the future of the project, ensuring WebsitePanel’s continued development as an affordable and scalable control panel for Microsoft Windows hosting.

With this change, software developers and hosting providers can now easily integrate WebsitePanel directly into their own offerings and extend the functionality and features to meet their customers’ Windows hosting needs.

For current DotNetPanel customers SMB SAAS Systems Inc. will be providing free community support for a limited time.  Future new versions and product updates (including enterprise modules) and bug fixes will be available at no cost to all customers via the WebsitePanel open source project.

We encourage all our customers to move to the WebsitePanel, which will continue to be supported, and participate in WebsitePanel project at SourceForge.NET.

We enjoy working with you and look forward to seeing WebsitePanel continue to grow!

Sincerely yours,

Feodor Fitsner,

CEO and President
