Stand by. Christian,

Unfortunately I don't have any specific news for you at this time, but this COULD be something we look into in the future. I personally would like to see that happen as well. Spencer,

As a CloudServer customer, I do wish I had the option to install an open source version of it. Licensing for control panels is just too expensive for small businesses like mine, and all the alternatives that I've seen (Webmin, Plesk, CPanel, etc...) are either under developed, too expensive or have an ugly user interface all together you know?

I must say that I didn't fully appreciate the simplicity of Cloud Sites until I tried to deal the cluster**** that those two interfaces offer. Mindnumbing painful!
