Limitations of Vdeck user interface

Everything in Vdeck user interface is either weak or limited. I would like to stress it again that VDECK user interface is a horribly written program that have all the attraction of a student project and that does not have any sound architecture and IMHO no bright programmers behind it. Functionality is very very basic even if we take into account the goal of achieving stability and preventing users from doing stupid things. Many things like site backup are horribly engineered if we can talk about this as engineering. This is a essentially a dummy tool for dummies.

  1. Inability to restrict administrative access to certain DNS (for example, optonline.net) and IP range (for example 167.200.*.*)
  2. Inability to restrict FTP access to certain DNS and IP range
  3. Extremely week "precooked" cron capabilities
  4. Extremely weak capabilities of generating Apache .htacess files
  5. Almost non-existant backup capabilities
  6. Weak or non-existant documentation.
