Hi Nick,

"Unless you install any script from your Hosting company’s control panel (one click install), you will need to know how to create the database manually"

Agreed, and you are correct that a 1-click install from a hosts control panel will be easier for a complete beginner. Our feature is suited more for people who are able to complete the "standard" WP installation via FTP already.

"The next point that everybody missed is that we are expected to turn over our web sites database credentials, and of course the web site’s admin name and password to this company."

Let me start by saying that CMS Commander does not store any user passwords. Neither the WP passwords of the sites our users manage remotely, nor the DB and FTP passwords used to deploy new WordPress sites. We don't need them and don't want them. They are only used one time during the deployment.

Of course I realize that me simply saying this will probably not change your mind but that is ok. If a user is in doubt he/she could also simply change the passwords after creating a site with CMS Commander.

"There are better and much safer alternatives."

All the alternatives you list require the user to install software or a plugin. I would argue that our solution (which amounts to filling out a form) is easier to utilize for the average user. But of course I won't argue with you that there are many great alternatives available and would invite everyone to find the one that works best for their specific needs.
