Suggestions for the next release of sentora

RE: Suggestions for the next release of sentora
This is not a good solution and would break the modular design of Sentora. As well as needing extra SSL entries/certificates if you use SSL. The best practice, and easiest, is to use a folder alias added to each domain like /webmail or /mysql for example: domain.com/webmail or domain.com/mysql
These do not require additional DNS configurations and will work under the main domain's SSL certificate if in use.
This is the method I have been using and is described here: [How-To] Set up /webmail or /mysql for all domains

Note about breaking the modular design:
Sentora modules are meant to rely on themselves only. For example, you can completely remove the DNS manager and bind9 and use external DNS withou affecting any other panel functions.
I do suppose adding a check to see if DNS Manager=Enabled>Add webmail.customerdomain.com / mysql.customerdomain.com entries. (You can not use mail.customerdomain.com since the 'mail' sub domain is reserved for the email server's mx records.)


Creating panel.domain.com for all domains is a great idea but the panel is currently designed to work off one main domain like panel.yourhostingdomain.com
Past tests of using just IP, domain.com/panel, panel.customerdomain.com, etc. have shown random issues with functionality such as module failures. (Incorrect paths and URLs)

From a security standpoint as server owner, panel.yourhostingdomain.com is literally the best practice since the server owner can put SSL on to it to ensure encrypted access to the panel, unlike if a customer uses panel.customerdomain.com and does not add SSL their connection to the panel will not be as secure. (Same with webmail.domain.com and mysql.domain.com)


I'll see if I can make some time this week for testing some of the above functionality.
