Yes I know I don't need a panel but it is a good transition to dedicated servers for me. I think I'll have a try with ISPConfig. My SSH auth is done with keys.
I heard about nginx but I'm wondering if it would be really reliable as a permanent solution. Cannot newer Apache versions (with good config) show similar performance ? Or is it about security ? I think if Google and OVH are both using Apache, it is not a coincidence. Also, I'll make an open hebergement as legtux and if all users know LAMP, they could be less familiar with nginx.
Nginx is MUCH better than apache in low-RAM environments. Try using Neon, http://www.neonpanel.com, which while it's still under development, is free, open-source, and is mostly complete. And it used Nginx!
I don't see why not. It's a very commonly used HTTPd in production environments, and probably more reliable than Apache.
I have yet to see an Apache setup that provides similar performance to nginx/lighttpd on a similar amount of resources, and that didn't require an unreasonable amount of configuration to do so.
There are many more issues with Apache than there are with nginx and lighttpd.
Google doesn't use Apache. Google uses Google Web Server, a custom HTTPd.
OVH has a giant amount of (cheap) resources at their disposal. That they are using Apache says nothing about Apache itself.
@joepie91 just the fact that we run Nginx 1.4 in front of Apache on our cPanel servers, and there is a noticeable performance improvement, speaks volumes about how good Nginx is

@joepie91 I think you need to see this
@joepie91 If you found leak on ZPanel why not you go for ZPanel Zero Days?
@CentrioHost The Nile is not just a river in Egypt, it's also known as "denial", or a new way of conducting business. In other words if no catastrophe has occurred yet, everything must be just peachy!
Btw., I love your signature :P ... and to think that I was worried about mine, lol.
How vulnerable do you see ZPanel being for a single user (a.k.a. not-a-web-host)? As a web server noob, I've found it head-over-heels easier to use with near-flawless autoinstallation. Tried cPanel/WHM trial, Webuzo, Webmin/Virtualmin as well, but I keep coming back to ZPanel because it just freaking works from the get-go and takes up a very reasonable amount of resources. I definitely see that WHM and Webmin are more powerful, but Webmin is way too techie for the newbie while WHM is fat + attracts a stupid amount of bruteforce attempts. Webuzo is nice and simple but has too many dealbreaking bugs at the moment.
Meanwhile, my ZPanel and its single forum are running along smoothly at Port 80 with nobody other than me and Google visiting.
@Mitsuhashi have you tried ISPConfig? If you haven't you should know that you're missing out on allot of fun. Btw. it can also manage OpenVZ containers...
@marcm I've looked at screenshots but haven't tried installing it. Is it noob-friendly?
I just had to respond there. They are not only ignorant to community feedback but they were also extremely rude towards joepie91. This was my response (my experience is that some of comments are removed):
I'm running several ZPanel servers at this moment. Only 3 things can make ZPanel secure:
I really don't think anything else right now required / causes panic...
okay they just convinced me to use cPanel instead
@axtux, ispconfig is great, and is also a super easy way to set IP a master slave dns cluster with a nice Web interface for mgmt. I have an ispconfig master plus two ispconfig dns slaves (running on 256M lebs)
@marcm @twain Tried the ISPConfig demo, and it looks great! We'll have to see if I can get everything to work, though.
Sorry, not buying it. Previously, the guy that controlled the Facebook page (or at least, the one that was posting on it constantly just happened to be the same 'support team member' that lost his shit (ie. ps2guy). He also just happened to have the same writing style as the guy writing those comments you just linked to.
Hm?
There are probably many more issues in it. They just haven't been uncovered yet.
EDIT: Sidenote, if you wish to ignore all that I said and use ZPanel anyway, then by all means go ahead. But realize that you're putting yourself at risk, and I'm not going to help you out when you get owned. This doesn't just apply to @CentrioHost, it's a general statement aimed at everybody that has been trying to wave away my warnings so far.
Do you recommend Webmin @joepie91 ?
Could be, right now not advised to use any 3rd party modules along with my 3 recommendations...
