After 3 days of stay in Houston, I am back in Baytown. I was attending the cPanel Conference ‘08 in the heart of Houston city, Westin Oaks Galleria.

Westin Oaks Galleria is one the best locations in Houston. It comprises of the Galleria (the best mall I’ve ever been to) and two grand hotels. I was staying in Westin Oaks, and the heavenly trademark they use for every part of their decor is worth it’s tag. Albeit, it did burn a rather large hole in my wallet

The cPanel conference took place in the same hotel mainly on the 3rd floor; with some sessions on the roof (21st floor). I was covering it live on twitter and will hence cover only some key points here.
cPSS (cPanel Server Suite) for Windows would be available later which is mostly a clone of the Linux version. The only noticeable new feature is the reseller center which allows nested resellers. The training sessions were of intermediate level. I did attend exhibitor sessions and liked Aplicure’s the best out of them. Their sessions lacked a technical details but their product is promising.

The food (thanks to SohoLaunch, Microsoft & cPanel) was great. I was not too comfortable with the American food but it was delicious; desserts were mouth watering! The only let down I experience during the 3 days of the conference was the interaction. Most of the cPanel staff and attendees kept to themselves and were not hospitable and friendly to first timers. I had traveled almost half way across the globe but didn’t expect that to happen. However, my stay and the conference was a great experience. I have uploaded an album on flickr comprising of both the conference and the Galleria snaps.
