Alternative to cPanel

I was talking for Enhance.
In my opinion any control panel that is secure will be OK because at the end of the day a normal client will use maximum 5 features from the control panel, email, domains/subdomains, mysql,phpmyadmin and file manager. 95% of cpanel is bloat.
If the site and the email of the user is online he does not care about control panel.
Enhance is going in the right direction and I hope they keep it up with releases.
8.0.0 is now out
Shout with any feature you want to see…
Ps. Community coming soon!
Malware/Virus scanner?
Has anyone started using enhance and done any review / study on the resource usage of the containerized approach vs standard? I'm currently on ploi and I don't really like it (Backups are clunky etc.), but one thing ploi is good for is very little overhead on each server.
I would still really like to see a comprehensive list of control panels and what software stacks they use.
What web server do they use or support? Apache, nginx, Litespeed?
What MTA they use? Exim? Postfix?
What IMAP/POP3 they use? Dovecot?
What FTP software they use? Pure-FTPd? ProFTPd?
What database software they use? MySQL? MariaDB?
If you're like me and have written a rather customized Exim configuration, then switching to something that's based on Postfix or some other MTA can be almost impossible.
The rest of the software probably doesn't make a huge difference. I suppose the web server that a control panel uses might be important, but a lot of the control panels these days offer multiple web server configuration points.
there are so many control panels but I think Plesk can be the best option to replace cPanel. bescuse the interface of Plesk is so userfriendly and it is very easy to work with the Plesk panel. you can try if you want to.
Plesk is owned by the same people that own cpanel.

Seems very good. But, it seems they dont have modsecurity and a few other features.

Hi Saahib,
Thanks for your feedback, we feel that $5 a month for unlimited servers is a much more compelling user proposition and is well received by our client base.
However please do feel free to pop your thoughts on our community page, this lets our team see the thoughts of real hosts.
Thanks

If someone can't afford DirectAdmin which is a good alternative to cPanel.
The best alternative must be ISPManager how comes with openlitespeed and soon will have support for many other things that are in their roadmaps.
Doesn't exist other alternative that I consider "solid" than those 3. When I say "solid" i'm telling about the long time being developed, fixed and matured to be used.
ISPManager is going in that way. I know some people are against it because of some concerns about data and privacy. But we can't deny that ISPManager is a good alternative if someone can't afford DirectAdmin or cPanel.
For me ISPManager if they make what is in their roadmap for this year. They will be a very good cheap choice and with good features of course not equal cPanel etc.
I think ISPManager have a decent UI isn't difficult due to use. When you learn in some days it will be fast. I can guarantee, their UI isn't bad as some may tell you.
Just a time to learn and explore. It will change your mind, regarding price/quality/features.
HestiaCP offers Nginx for free.
For personal usage is OK. For business usage no one will use that. Unless you do super cheap prices.
This control panel for Hosting Business is a NO-No. That is what we talking about alternatives to cPanel (which is paid) so Lets assume that alternative also should be paid.
ISPManager after Directadmin and cPanel now have available Openlitespeed and soon also other things
Not to mention of fact of updates, bug fixing and support.
Spanel is the worst. Either cPanel or free Aapanel.
I am currently looking at enhance panel. I have read thru much of their docs and asked some questions. So last question, I would like to add pre-purchased empty vps servers, substituting the enhance client panel for the VPS panel. I would give ssh access and terminal access to the client, but not to the VPS panel. Would this scenario work? Does the Client panel have a terminal etc?
kloxo.org (Free).
He ended by still using WHMCS and cPanel
and then disabled the ticket system in WHMCS 😂
The Enhance control panel gives the customer a hostname, username and password they can use and connect to using a SSH client. There is no web browser based terminal that the customer can use from the control panel, if that is what you mean. Each 'website' has its own Linux user meaning each website would have a different SSH login. The downside to this is even if the same control panel customer owns these websites, they have a different SSH login to each website and they cannot access each other. The upside is the security benefit as there can be no breach across websites.
Addons, subdomains, etc added under a website will have the same SSH login details as the parent website.
From your post, I assume you are looking at provisioning a customers package as a 'dedicated' package so the VPS is reserved for one customer only? If so, they can access SSH as explained above however, it's not recommended to create a user account on the server directly and give them access to this since the Enhance installation is part of your cluster.
Wow, that is a blast from the past. I didn't even realise Kloxo was still being maintained.
it is a fork - the project was closed. @SharedGrid
