Far from dead. I’m rolling out HestiaCP 1.8.X with custom add-ons for a pet project. And hopefully a wider FOSS market with SaaS enhancements. I can’t do that with CloudPanel. HestiaCP 1.9 features will make it all the better and hopefully that will translate into income from my end clients (I’m betting on it); and when it does, I’ll be sure to personally donate to HestiaCP both financially and with more community engagement.
I’ve tried others, i.e. ISPConfig, etc. So far, this is the best open source control panel out there and I see a bright future for it.
