Ok Joe
As soon as possible - need to know pricing - even on a Beta version!!!
Love the free version - but for the added features - don't mind paying.

When's the new planned date to release the beta to sponsors?

Is there any specific pricing information on VirtualminPro available yet? "Very competitive" sounds great, but I'm looking for a number I can plug in a spreadsheet here, folks.

Hi Brad,

Good question, and you're not the only one who's asked. ;-)

So, I'll go ahead and let the cat out of the bag. Pricing will be:

$149 10 domains 3 support incidents
$199 50 domains 3 support incidents
$399 250 domains 6 support incidents
$499 Unlimited domains 6 support incidents
$999 10+10 bundle ten ten domain packs with 3 support incidents per server

Support incidents can be purchased at $39 each, or in bundles. Bug reporting is always free, as are the resulting fixes (and if a support incident turns out to be a bug, it doesn't count against your total).

Annual renewals (which includes updates to the latest version of everything, so it comparable to upgrade pricing) will be roughly half of purchase price.

Early adopters, or those who purchase during the first month or so, will get a significant discount off of the initial purchase price, as we know there are going to be bugs and problems as the product gets installed on a wide variety of operating systems in a wide variety of environments.

In other, related, news I have just tried out the early version of the registration manager that I'm having developed by a great OpenACS developer named Malte Sussdorff...It is coming along very nicely and I expect it to be completed by the weekend. Assuming I can wrap up the installers by then, we'll be taking orders by next week!

Fantastic!

I'm ready to buy a 10 domain pack and I have a client standing by ready to buy a 50 domain pack as soon as I tell him Virtualmin Pro is ready for prime time.

Thanks for the pricing info, Joe.

Best,

Just to add another "me too" to this thread, I am very interested in the new product, even as a beta version. I have been a Webmin and Virtualmin user for the past few years (even contributed several ideas on the mailing list that have already been implemented in both the GPL and Pro versions).

I am ready to go "prime-time" with releasing Virtualmin Pro to my hosting clients as soon as it is ready, and I would like to start by purchasing a 50-pack. Depending on the "early adopter" discount, I may even be interested in a 250 or unlimited pack.

Please let me know how and when I can place my order, and if you have beta software available for testing in the meantime. I shouldn't require much support, since I am already quite familiar with the free version, and I would be happy to report any bugs I find and submit feedback. I am already building a new test server and would love to have Virtualmin Pro running on it by the end of the week! :-)

Thanks,
Alan

I guess this is the official me too thread. heh

I'd be interested in a 50 pack as it is. However I'm curious about how the pro version shall "upgrade" as my buisness grows.

That's a good question, is there any plan to offer a "leased licence" for unlimited domains?

Continued...

For some reason I never actually thought of this .. All of my cPanel servers are leased licenses, a year goes by very fast and getting updates is crucial.

My opinion, some sort of leased option should be implemented to compete with cPanel, Plesk, and Ensim.

Hey James and all,

I never even thought of it, but monthly "leased" pricing does seem to be very popular. Our card processor supports recurring purchases...so I think we can do this. Not immediately--the shopping cart doesn't support it at the moment--but in a couple of weeks I ought to be able to figure something out.

Excellent idea. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
