7. Advantages
With an intuitive user interface, Ensim Pro offers user-specific dashboards for frequently asked questions, as well as Quick Start Guides and context-sensitive Online Help.

The most stable hosting platform solution for provisioning the most secure Web sites.

With Ensim's secure virtual private file system architecture, you get features that enable secure access control for a single site on a shared server, with delegated remote access and scripting tools for your end customers. Ensim's virtual site application capabilities allow applications to be managed on a per-site or per-machine basis, enabling upgrades for a single server application to be replicated across multiple sites.

The most extensible control panel software commercially available.

Designed for flexibility and customization, Ensim Pro provides a number of ways to differentiate your hosting offerings. You can select from their extensive library of third-party application add-ons, leverage existing add-ons to create your own integration, or use their open API to integrate custom applications or those of other third parties. This allows you to decide when to update the application to the most recent version. You may choose to be 'bleeding edge', offering the newest application versions on the market. Others or you may choose to wait until newer software versions stabilize.
