Complete Feature List
Order Form
The order form is a 4 page system which contains the package select and 3 steps. These steps are on a each page and are clearly instructed and easy to follow. The steps consist of:
Subdomain/Domain choice. TOS Agree.
User details form. Fully AJAX and helps the user with format and checks if exists. Package change also featured.
3rd Additional step. Checkout (if Paid) validate (if Post 2 Host).
Depending on how the package is set up, the user will have to validate and then either wait for admin validation or sent to payment etc. Security is a big priority in running a host, the order form is totally secured and SQL Injection prevented. If javascript checks fail, there is still hardcoded PHP checks for email validatility and repeated details.

The admin control panel is the main hub for the webmaster to configure cP Creator into how he likes it to work. cP Creator has total flexibility in what you tell it to can and can’t do. Here’s the overall feature list in the ACP:

Client Control Panel
The client control panel in cP Creator is the main hub where the client can check on their package; update invoices if they’re paying; check up on their post 2 host requirements. The client can even upgrade/downgrade their account or delete it via client cp. When I was developing this, one of the key features which came to mind was simplicity and ease. A client doesn’t want to spend time in an ultra complicated panel which gets nothing done. The client needs to select and click. That’s it. You can see this when inside the client cp. Some of the key features are:
View Package – Check up on the package name/description. Post 2 Host users can also check up on post requirements.
Upgrade/Downgrade Account – This is where a client can change the package they’re on. Requires to be on the same module.
Login to cPanel – This is where a user can login into their cPanel.
Delete Account – A client can delete their account from here. This will also send email confirmation to admin and the client.
Support Area – A user can create tickets and check on knowledge base articles in here.
Invoices – If a user is on a paid package, they can check up and pay invoices in here.
As you can see from the list of features there’s some great features you’re provided straight out the box for free.
Lots of Free Skins / Templates also !!!
