The reseller has the ability to determine the number of web sites hosted on our server.

If a reseller logs into their account and clicks on IP Management will get a listing of the number of users on the shared ip. This in essence tells the reseller how many websites are on my server!!! :rolleyes:

This is ridiculous. As the admin of numeroius reseller only boxes i really dont want my resellers knowing how many web sites im hosting on the server. If anything, this total should reflect the number of web sites under the resellers account, on the shared ip, NOT THE NUMBER OF TOTAL WEBSITES ON MY SERVER!

Give me a break!

the amount of sites your hosting should not reflect anything negative about your server so long as the pages still load quickly. Personally if i was a user and i seen that my host had a large number of clients i'd put more faith in them especially if my site is always running well. Sure it would be nice if it was displayed differently but i dont think your going about it the correct way you post seems rather demanding.
 
Well does anyone have a clue? I need to remove the TOTAL # OF USERS COUNT from the nameserver.html page. I looked at the page for the enhanced theme and found nothing there that resembles the # of users. Where have they hidden it?
Code:
|LF_STANDARD|
|?TREE=» <a class=tree href="/CMD_NAME_SERVER">`LANG_NAME_SERVERS`</a>|
|?HELP_SECTION=`RESELLER_HELPER`/nameserver.html|
|HTM_RESELLER_TOP|
<b>|LANG_NAME_SERVERS|</b>
        |IPS|
 
<table class=list cellspacing=1 cellpadding=3>
<form action="/CMD_NAME_SERVER" method="POST">
<input type=hidden name=action value="modify">
<tr><td class=listtitle colspan=2>|LANG_SET_NS|</td></tr>
<tr><td class=list>|LANG_NAME_SERVER_1|</td><td class=list><input type=text name=ns1 size=32 value="|NS1|"></td></tr>
<tr><td class=list>|LANG_NAME_SERVER_2|</td><td class=list><input type=text name=ns2 size=32 value="|NS2|"></td></tr>
<tr><td class=listtitle colspan=2 align=right><input type=submit value="|LANG_SAVE|"></td></tr>
</form>
</table>

Even if you modify DA skin to hide a number of domains hosted on your servers, reseller will still be able to figure out that number, especially, if you provide SSH access.

Not only that, they can get a list of all domains hosted on your server.

Just a note...
 
Our users dont get ssh access. But thats not the point, should not be displayed at all. Im suprised nobody has seen or complained about this before but its absurd in my opinion. If my users want to guess thats one thing, but to display it outright, in plain sites, is is proposterous.

What is the use of that number anyway? It should be at the Admin level only, not at the reseller or user level.

Same thing goes for System Information. If you turn it off the menu option should not even appear nor should it say OFF in the reseller statistics. This gives the reseller a birds evey view that we have turned off System Information and then they email us asking why. If its turned off it should not show as OFF in the reseller statistics, template and the option should dissapear from all the menus not display a big message saying that "this feature is not available"

Not only that, the menuing, template system should be flexible enough for any idiot to modify not keep these figures HARD CODED in hidden "C" code. What is the pupose of offering the opportunity to SKIN and MODIFY if you cannot be flexible to display whatever it is you want without being inconvenienced with cosmetic blunders such as what we have found in the template system since the inception of DA. :confused: In my opinion there are some serious flaws in the template system not to mention the display of sensitive information thoughout the system. I can live with it, but im not happy with it in the slightest.
