Hi TumTum,
In response to your questions:-
1) We did not remove the website, we do not have direct access to the ZPanel servers, we have noticed for the last couple of months we have had no contact with the new owner of the ZPanel project so we decided to safeguard the future of the project by forking the software and starting a new site of which we have control of and don't rely on the new owner. - The server must be down due to a server issue of which the new owner needs to resolve!
2) We are not sure why the ZPanel server is down, we do however intend on supporting current ZPanel users yes!
3) At the moment we aim to make Sentora 100% compatible, we will provide migration scripts when we release the first version but to be honest there will be little change at the moment, mainly just security patching, name changes and optimisations!
4) I've decided to create 'Sentora' as we've had little contact from the new owner of ZPanel and to ensure that the project lives on, I decided to fork it (the GPLv3 license enables you to do this) and with the help of the rest of my previous team we'll now continue to develop it as open-source software of which the ZPanel project can then merge back into their code release if they wish but Sentora is the project 'fork' that I am now working on due to lack of contact and direction from the new owners
I hope these answers make sense and are helpful
Cheers,
Bobby
