I agree, I think they may base it off cPanel to start with and end up making it stand-alone. Just makes sense. If they did that, it may end up being better than cPanel itself.
I signed up for the beta and tried it some months ago. I was going to give it a quick test again but can’t find the email about it. But then again, as you say it’s based on cPanel. I’d rather it be stand-alone.
I think more will start switching to Webuzo. They need a forum for Webuzo and a better support ticket system…
