Hello everyone,

I would like to know if anyone is running RVSkin for cPanel and if you think it is worth the $100 it costs. Looking forward to your replies. Thanks in advance!

I am not running Rvskin, but I think its worth it, I've tried it for sometime and it just adds allot to cPanel.

Thanks for the input Dactyl. Has anyone else used RVSkin and have an opinion?

I installed Rvskin a month ago.
We offer it but we have yet to have a request for it.

99% of the potential clients out there have no clue what RVskin is. Most of them have no clue what cPanel is.
All the client wants to know is that they don't have to do a lot of work to maintain their site.

Most of my clients rarely even log into cPanel. They put their site online and let it do the work.

That's a very good point. I'm intrested in hearing what a few more people think before I make a final desicion. Keep the opinions rolling in!

I think that RvSkin seems to be more popular among resellers because they have the ability to customize the control panel for their clients. There is also a sub-reseller system although I don't know how well it works.

Hello Cubic,
I have 200 Licenses for Rvskin for my customers, using the NOC Deals; and I think it is worth it. It is a fantastic Skin with many features which you can't normally find.

I would personally buy it depending on what you are using cPanel For.
Regards,

I didn't know there was a sub-reseller system. That makes me a little more interested. I'll have to do some research on that.

I think it's a nice feature but when we had it to offer our customers it was never really used nor requested

Thanks for all the feedback. Your feedback had a big influence on our decision not to buy RVSkin at this time.

Well I would like to say that we use RVSkin as the default skin for our clients. They do have the option to change it, but they never do. Nor do they request it to be disabled or enabled. It came free with our server, so I never had to buy it before, but I would think its a good option to have it for your hosting clients. It has some real nice features!

Cubic,

Personally, I did use RVSkin and I did not like it. I understand that at the time you did not feel the need to buy it; however, you must realize that, that could be a value added service or an extra for clients that would like it. Any little bit helps in the hosting industry these days.

Well said Zachary,
There are several users out who want Rvskin as a cPanel Theme, but several may mean nothing yet but when there is a point with limited customers Several can come a long way.

It adds a little something extra to cPanel, I'd say its worth it. You can always switch between skins, not as if you would be stuck with it

We bought it. Of the limited number of clients that ever log into CPanel, a few complained about it (they wanted it to look like they were used to - standard X2 theme) - so never bothered with it on any of the other servers.

Looking through our logs and stats earlier in the year, under 5% of our clients *ever* logged into their control panel.
