Do you want to be considered for temporary or possibly long-term cPanel access on one of my hosts? I am helping to design several contests for webmasters. Many of the contests will be much more easy and convenient if I can give temporary cPanel access to people. What are the risks of giving cPanel access to a total stranger on "standard" shared hosting? I'm not asking "will they steal my files?" The question is more about the danger of hackers busting in to other users accounts on the shared host, and / or people running "bots" and other programs which send spam, or spike the server load. (Just for example) If I set up ~20 new cPanel accounts, and make it pretty easy for people to enter the contests, then are the chances "very high" that a spammer or hacker will cause trouble. Thank you >>> Do you want to be considered for temporary or possibly long-term cPanel access on one of my hosts?
