      I have never used a panel before. I experimented once because people kept raving about it. Think I was trying to set up a database or something. It was too counter-intuitive and I couldn't figure out how to use it. I've used cli ever since.

        I haven't seen Virtualmin mentioned.

        I haven't used it and I don't know much about it, but it stuck out. It looks like there's a free version, and a professional version that adds support.

        From their website:

        "Virtualmin is a web hosting control panel, designed to make it easy to manage websites, mailbox users, databases, and web applications. It provides website owner accounts, easily installable web applications, file management, and a comprehensive and easy to use API for integration with billing and support systems. Installing Virtualmin provides a full-featured web hosting stack with web, email, databases, spam and antivirus filtering, analytics, and much more. Virtualmin is the easiest and fastest way to turn a Linux system into a full-featured web hosting system, and it is fully integrated with Webmin."

          Cloudmin looks pretty nice too. Though I haven't tried it and nothing to compare it to.

            Yeah. I used cPanel with ASO and it wasn't horrible. But not great.

              I tend to agree with you on cPanel. It works, but isn't the most logically laid out imo.

                It seems to take more work than just doing work by hand. Makes no sense.

                  But don't web posting panels like this allow for an easy way for clients to do simple tasks like FTP access, web based file management, etc? How is that addressed?

                    It does not seem easier to me. Could just be me though.

                      They attempt to make things easier to access, it rarely really works, especially if you're already a sysadmin that knows how to do it all.

                        It's often not just more steps, but more complex too!
