AfterLogic Announces New cPanel Integrated WebMail for Hosting Providers

NEWARK, DE (Gawkwire.com) AfterLogic today released the beta of its long-awaited, cPanel/WHM-integrated version of AfterLogic WebMail Pro, providing Web hosts with the opportunity to offer a modern webmail solution for their clients and solve a common source of customer complaints.

Unlike the bare-bones webmail clients that are included in the default cPanel/WHM installation, WebMail Pro offers an interactive, multi-domain user interface that emulates standalone mail clients and supports virtually all Web browsers. WebMail Pro includes a robust contacts/address book manager and full calendar/scheduling (private, public, and shared calendars) functionality.

Other features of WebMail Pro include folders and sub-folders; full IMAP support; many skins and interface languages; a robust rich-text (WYSIWYG) editor; support for multiple mail accounts per user; domain-level branding and defaults; PDA version for mobile devices; a Web-based administration panel, and a Developer's API. A live demo is available at:

“cPanel is one of the Web hosting industry’s most widely used control panel systems, but for years, users have complained about limited webmail functionality – the open source solutions installed by default have simply not caught up with the times. Web hosting customers have in the past been driven to using standalone mail clients like Outlook or even rely on outside mail hosting services, like Gmail, to provide a reliable Web-based mail interface. That’s self-defeating,” said Vlad Klimenko, Hosting Provider Program Manager at AfterLogic.

“With these concerns in mind, we’ve decided to build on the success WebMail Pro has been enjoying in the corporate market over the years, and deliver a version just for Web hosting providers. cPanel integration is just the first step, and we plan to build a significant community of Web host providers. Our WebMail application is absolutely loaded with features, and we made it extremely affordable by rolling out special licensing and pricing for ISPs and hosting companies,” he said.

As part of the beta release, AfterLogic is seeking a limited number of beta testers to utilize the application in a live cPanel-controlled hosting environment. Each beta tester will receive significant discounts on the product license valid through the end of 2010.

The standard annual fee for 1 shared server installed instance is $500.00. The Contributing Partner Host ISP License for 1 shared server installed instance is discounted to $275.00/year. However, by applying for the cPanel beta testing program, several qualified Web hosting firms may get the same license for just $100.00, and the license would not expire until January 1, 2011. To apply, the interested Web host providers should simply fill out the contact form at:
