Well, one of the biggies took the plunge and released their own control panel for their clients.
Currently, the control panel is for their own system. There are no immediate plans to release it to other companies at this time.
The new control panel center has been rolled out for NEW accounts signing up with SiteGround. Users who had previously signed up and currently using cPanel will be swapped over to the new system shortly.
As I had discussed with Artashes in another thread about control panels, they did exactly what I would have done. They narrowed down the buttons to just a handful of options (filemanger, email, database, backups, security/speed) and left off a lot of the fluff. While you can manage most of the daily operating items from their control panel, extended items such as modifying DNS records, MX and things of that nature would be taken care of by their support staff.
This is really what needed to be done as a whole. 40+ icons that nobody uses in cPanel is useless. YES, there are a few of us that would use many of the buttons during setup, but after that, there's really only 5 items you'd ever clicks.
I'm planning to do a YouTube video walkthrough of their control panel, so when I get that completed I'll post a link here for those interested.
