Niche Switch

I remember the Barracuda script, back in the old times (well… maybe just a year or two ago), before Boonex bought it out. It was probably the first one I tried (afer Boonex took over), the one I liked, but somehow couldn’t get it run. The support was nonexistant, upgrading painful, and generally….something that only worked for advanced php admins and webmasters that are able to make a patch here and investigate an issue there and fix it all on their own.

Received a note about their new 2.0 version few days ago. There wasn’t a simple thing there that would persuade me. Script is no more free, support is $50 per month, and who knows whether the bugs were fixed or not. If not, $50 per month is probably still cheap.

Whatever I said above, Barracuda is still worth trying out. Maybe it will work for you. Nowadays, there are so many free scripts of comparable capabilities that any paid-for one must be significantly better. I’m not the one going to pay for it to test this one, but if someone got any experience, don’t hesitate to comment.
