Comments
why not use webuzo
Virtualmin?
Depends on what you need.
It's not paid; but if it's only websites and not email etc https://www.cloudpanel.io/ is very good.
Fastpanel is quite similar to Plesk and good for hosting sites, it’s a free licence though.
keyhelp Pro or ApisCp
Why paid when there are many good free alternatives? Many good examples already.
Cyberpanel or Caddy (without panel, it is just too easy to configure).
KeyHelp Pro.
Directadmin?
But why not Plesk? I am using Plesk for web hosting for awhile and feel not bad. And OVH has a pretty low price for the license.
i lunch a demo but missing automatic backup for external storage.
are you sure? Are safe and stable like plesk? My difficult it's always found a panel who setup easily automatically backup in external storage and restore easily.
What do you suggest me?
it's what using hetzner in the hosting?
because I didn't know! But seem interest...I have 7 website, what is the best license for me?
I am running many websites on the free KeyHelp., is easy to use and have lot of features and it's very secure.

There is an open-source panel called HestiaCP.
OS?
Keep the Plesk, and do not change to Directadmin for example. Plesk is much more easier, and click click click done. I use directadmin 10+ year with 500+ domain, and ah.. lots of searching to get the things done. I use Plesk as well, well.. this is how to live like a king as a sysadmin.
Or use interWorx for low domains, it is working well. I like it.
Debian
Have a look at Virtualmin Professional: https://www.virtualmin.com/professional/
Chicco chicco rosso... Use HestiaCP, save money, embrace low end.
hestia seem the same of vesta!
Keyhelp pro is not what hetzner use for hosting, it's made by another german hosting company, they are using it for their hosting services. It's one of the alternative control panels very close to cpanel / plesk in terms of design, features and usability (I would say it's more similar to plesk). It has full integration with wisecp for client management but not with softaculous. In my oppinion the backup function is more developed than that of Directadmin, it does incremental backups with s3, sftp, I am using it with hetzner storage and it works like a charm. The paid version has some small addition like script installer (similar to softaculous) with 14 scripts, dark mode and ssh for users. You can check their demo at https://demo.keyhelp.eu/index.php
But no CentOS, it works only with Debian / Ubuntu LTS
The best alternative panel is using SSH command line, very optimised and not heavy on RAM.
ofcourse, however sometimes you may want less keystrokes and a better visual representation of what's going on. Also there are some clients who may want webhosting services but don't have the time or the passion needed to learn linux
Is keyhelp better than directadmin?
IMO, no.
Yes, and has more security features, it's more easy to use!
Keyhelp and Directadmin are both powerful control panels, but each one of them has unique features and there are some features in Directadmin that are missing in Keyhelp but others that are better implemented in Keyhelp, backup for example is better in Keyhelp.
