Web server control panel. Paid and Free.

thegillion

So I have used a lot of web server control from Cpanel to Zpanel and many more. I would just like to tell you guys what I think is the best ones.
**Paid **
Interworx
This is a great control panel for everything and looks great.
It comes with support and updates for life of the lease.
Logs everything that happens on the server also has full backups.
Works great on mobile devices
SSL

CONS
You can easily get lost in its GUI

**Free **
Vesta CP
This is a great light panel that gets the job done.
Nginx out of the box
SSL support
auto error pages
great logs and graphs
auto updates
restart services from the panel
full backups

CONS
you need to pay for support
only works on CentOS

If you guys have been using others I would like to hear them.

@thegillion Thanks for the post. I am looking for an alternate option for cpanel too for my dev servers, dont need the expensive cpanel to manage those servers.

This blog post has a review about some of the cpanels available. http://yusufarslan.net/choosing-control-panel-server-management

How about ISPConfig?

That is what HowToForge promotes (I think that they make it.)

The one I havent used on that list is Froxlor so I cant say anything about it.

I have used Ajenti but it is so heavy on a server that you need something with about 1 gig just to run the panel. It is more of a all in one panel as you can see all the services on the server. I also saw a lot of crashes when I used it on CentOS 6.5

I have used ISPconfig it is a good panel but the GUI looks like its something out of the 90s and its not a 1 click install like VestaCP. It is nice where you can control other servers on or off site with it but other than that I would use VestCP over it.
