History: Why ClearOS

Preview of version: 5

(To be made public later along with a similar explanation for all the components, and why others were not picked)

  • Tons of features
  • Great integration
  • PHP
  • As per Marc Laporte's suggestion, they moved to Bootstrap in v7
  • Nice services from ClearCenter (remote backups, security audits, domain names, etc.)
  • Strong feature set for on premise (Gateway and Networking)

Why not ISPConfig

ISPConfig was the original server admin panel component for WikiSuite (It was still called Tiki Suite back then), as you can see in slides from 2011

But ClearOS was picked.

WikiSuite is about having all the tools for one organization, and available on premises or in a data center.

  • ISPconfig
    • is for hosting many projects / customers on one server, so multi-domain.
    • is focused on being in a data center (and not really tailored to an on premises installation)
  • ClearOS
    • is designed to have multiple tools for one domain, so not multi-domain (well, you can have a some mirror domains, but it's not multi-tenant)
    • is originally designed for hosting on premises, and has evolved to the cloud
    • is offered in box: ClearBOX


For an eventual offering of WikiSuite as SaaS, we will need a platform to manage multiple virtual machine, like oVirt, not a platform to manage shared hosting applications.

We have been working with the ClearOS community to improve it as a hosting platform, and get some of the benefits of ISPconfig.

When is ISPConfig better? If you are a provider of shared hosting

Why not Webmin
