    Directadmin is the best choice

    CyberPanel is one of the best options for free imo, it's come a long way over the past year.

    Yet, OpenLiteSpeed crashes for me from time to time when I use CyberPanel :(

    Me either, May try it later again since "it's come a long way over the past year."

  • aaPanel, but thinking to migrate because their log system is annoying.

    Using moss.sh too for other project.

    Free Panel : aaPanel

    Semi-Free Panel : DirectAdmin

    Paid : Plesk-Onyx

  • Try hestiacp / ispconfig /froxlor
    All of them are regularly updated with active support.

  • @Ahfaiahkid said: I asked the cyberpanel dev on discord last year, he said they were engaging rack911 to audit their panel, not sure what is the progress on that.

    Those were solved but yet pretty serious vulnerability exists that can lead to RCE.

  • I use virtualmin.. but only enable it when needed and disable again after finish using.

    Can you prove your statement? I use cyberpanel on some domains

  • Directadmin but Hestia would be my second if they support ipv6 out of the box

    Been using hestiacp 2years ++ as sftp backup server 😁

    Auto update work smoothly 👍

    In the other hand cyberpanel had issue with LE cert everytime updates

    How often do you even use the panel? Have you considered just not using one? Not an option in some cases of course (e.g. if you host other people)

    A lot of the free panels are written in PHP and have major security issues, like no privilege separation (i.e. all the PHP code the user interacts with runs as root and directly executes commands and edits files to control the server), increasing the risk of RCE.

    Eh, that's an implementation concern that isn't limited to PHP. It's a simplified approach and exists even with SaaS solutions.

    Yeah I'm not saying that it's an issue that's exclusive to PHP, just that I've seen it often with PHP-based panels. You probably don't want a "simplified approach" with something that can delete all the sites on your server :tongue:

    Hestiacp aka vestacp

    it is not. hestiacp are fork from vestacp and different guys.

    i am using hestiacp also for production site. why? its nice, easy to maintain. and have active support for their product

    I know that they have fixed some security issues and added a file manager for free but I meant the panel itself its the same core, being a form doesn't mean its a different panel.

  • @vovler said: Can you prove your statement? I use cyberpanel on some domains

    I can but I will not because if I prove myself I will have to leak the vulnerability here on LET. But I can give you out a safety tips. Its an authenticated RCE meaning if someone wants to hack it they must have user level access to the panel dashboard from where they can attempt to RCE. Then it would lead to complete system takeover. So you don't want to give anyone access and keep the dashboard only accessible to you(bad you can't use the reseller feature/use as shared host). This one is a major flaw and has been there for long time and I know how it was dealt with.

  • aapanel, I think it's the best of free panel.

    yeah keyhelp is good, but so far only Apache no nginx or apache_nginx

  • I haven't had any problems yet with https://myvestacp.com/

  • If it is my own code, I would use docker to deploy. Otherwise, hestiacp :)

    aaPanel

  • bznclodbznclod Member

    HestiaCP is lightweight and easy to use. It's what I'd recommend in 2022 . It's either that or Virtual min. If you're on a small server, go with LEMP stack on hestia.
    Here's how to set up Hestia LEMP

  • SpinServersSpinServers Member, Host Rep

    I would say Webmin/Virtualmin is the best free control panel on the market right now. CyberPanel would be a hard number 2. I believe they are redesigning the theme and they have already done the website.
