In short

Anyone still running Confixx today is operating a panel that has been unsupported for over 13 years, with no security patches — a real risk for the server and customer data. enconf offers an actively maintained successor with ongoing updates, modern PHP, toolkits and commercial support.

Resources, cost & migration

Resource usage

enconf: under 75 MB RAM (controller + agent, ~63 MB real)

Confixx: highly server-dependent — usually very old, often unpatched OS/PHP versions.

License model

enconf: commercial — 14-day free trial

Confixx: no new licenses since 2012 (product discontinued) — current pricing from the vendor is no longer available.

Migration effort

No automated importer (Confixx's data format is old and proprietary). Bring websites/databases over via backup, mailboxes via IMAP migration, re-create DNS records in enconf. Effort: low to medium, depending on account count.

Frequently asked questions

Is Confixx still being developed?

No. Since September 24, 2012, the vendor no longer sells new Confixx licenses — the product is discontinued. There have been no security updates since then; servers still running Confixx carry a real, growing risk.

What was the Confixx Professional Edition?

The Professional Edition was Confixx's full commercial version with 128-bit encryption (X.509v3/SSL) and extended reseller features compared to free/stripped-down variants. It, too, has been unavailable since 2012 and receives no updates.

How do I back up my data before switching from Confixx?

Back up websites and files via FTP/backup export, databases via mysqldump or phpMyAdmin export, and mailboxes via IMAP migration (client-to-client sync). Confixx has no structured export wizard for a direct panel-to-panel move — backup happens manually at the protocol level.

Can I migrate from Confixx to enconf?

Yes, manually: bring websites/databases over via backup, mailboxes via IMAP migration, re-create DNS records in enconf (no automated Confixx importer exists due to the old, proprietary data format). Effort: low to medium, depending on account count.
