Hmmm

If you dont know what CP4 or Plesk is then you need to do your home work on your hosting plans....

haha I had a brain fart on Plesk, im very familia with that app,
and CP4 is Control Panel Version 4 right ?

[JamesUS]

CP4 is Cpanel 4, a control panel package. You need to co-locate or host your server in one of the 'partner' datacenters for a cheap price on cp4 - otherwise it will cost an extra $100/month unless the host includes it in their dedicated plans already.

well lets see I know the co-location center im setup at, I have room for 10 servers ( its my friends company ) I basically a whole wall to myself :D
