H-Shpere was unfortunately bought by the same folks that own Plesk - a
company now called Parellels. I would not be surprised if they attempt
to move H-Shpere users toward Plesk in the very near future.

Parallels was previously SW-Soft - makers of Plesk and Virtuozzo and a
whole host of very popular hosting-related software. They went through a
buying spree about 6 months ago - buying up their competitors and
absorbing their products and their customers. Some of the victims of
this process were Comodo's H-sphere, FreeVPS (a Virtuozzo competitor)
and CP+ (a Plesk competitor). Further development on FreeVPS and CP+ has
been halted, and Parallels has made no attempts to offer a migration
path for customers who were using them. This has cost my company tens of
thousands of dollars in migration efforts away from CP+ and FreeVPS.
It's a crying shame because both FreeVPS and CP+ were *excellent*
products, and served us very well for many years.

Parallels also publicly stated that they would offer migration paths for
customers who were effected by their acquisitions - this never happened.
Despite my phone calls and emails asking for said promised service. They
never came through.

Parallels lies. I do not trust them. I will not use, nor would I
recommend their products, or products owned by them, to anyone.
