Web hosting control panel
I'm searching for a web hosting control panel for a production environment, it has to be a stable panel.
At the moment I'm using the latest ZPanel, but I've read it has security holes and once I've clicked "run daemon" then apache crashed with all sites included zpanel admin site.
Some panels i found:
http://www.froxlor.org
http://www.ehcp.net
http://i-mscp.net
http://www.openpanel.com
http://www.ispconfig.org
http://www.virtualmin.com
I've already seen providers selling web hosting with ispconfig so I think it's a good and stable panel right?
Which panel do you suggest me? (please explain why)
Comments
Is this for backend use or for clients to use?
If you're expecting people to pay for this with their hard-earned money then you have a choice between cPanel and Plesk.
...and Interworx (used by this list of larger hosts http://www.interworx.com/buy-now/buy-from-reseller-partners/). They have a server version and a VPS version.
I already know cPanel and Plesk, but I'm searching for a free solution and both panel wouldn't worth it for what I need.
I have to provide a control panel to manage their sites to a small group of peapole, I don't need it to sell web hosting.
In that case, ISPConfig.
kloxo / ispcp
kloxo,
ISPConfig (not tried)
webuzo (its simple & good, I didn't liked it a lot for no proper reason).
dont ever use kloxo. Used to recommend it 3 years ago but its totally dead now
I would use i-mscp it's pretty professional and if you know a bit of perl you can easily modify the engine to add or modify things, personally I've tried to add domainkeys support...or you can try to use Kloxo-MR which is a fork of kloxo with support for centos 5 and 6 (this is what I've read) but I cannot install it on CentOS 6...
ISPConfig because I find it better compared to others.
ISPConfig or Virtualmin
A) Installation: For ISPConfig, the install is a tad more difficult than Virtualmin because you have to install the packages by hand first before installing ISPConfig, whereas a Virtualmin install is a breeze with the install script (installs everything you need from a base CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu (or others not officially supported) Linux OS).
Who wins? I'd say it's even, so my suggestion would be to install them both on a couple of VPS'es and see which one works better for you.
I wouldn't touch any other free panels though.
Wow, no kidding...top feature is "CentOS 5 Support!"
http://lxcenter.org/software/kloxo
Virtualmin, its non destructive to the OS
Kloxo-MR
I personally hate kloxo/hypervm/lxcenter.
@twain
I've found this https://github.com/dclardy64/ISPConfig-3-Debian-Installer
Going to try it tomorrow
I tried the demo but it's not possibole to add customer from admin account, you have to create a reseller then create an account.
