You do not have to pay for cpanel/plesk, there is opensource versions avaliable aswell
I have just ordered a new dedictaed server and Instead of paying 20 bucks for cpanel I found webmin on sourceforge that is open source and free If you own a Dedicated or a VPS server you can save up to 20 dollar/month by using opensource control panel named Webmin. If you are not going to offer hosting on your account and you will just use your server by yourself then in my opinion you can go for webmin, you can do almost everything that is possible on cpanel/plesk on webmin you may need some extensions .. It is very easy to install via ssh.
If you are using Redhat, Fedora, CentOS, SuSE or Mandrake Linux installation goes like this:
1
Enter this code via ssh:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.490-1.noarch.rpm
2
after the files get downloaded issue this command:
rpm -U webmin-1.490-1.noarch.rpm
After few minutes your new login and pass will be given( change it to whatever you want)
if you do not get any login details the standard use to be:
Address: http://<server_ip>:10000
Username: root username
Password: root password
Ps I think you should not have any controlpanel installed when isntalling this but I am not sure
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
This is the biggest fraud I have ever heard of on here. Welcome to the land of deleted and blocked little one... ROFLMAO!!! Now where is Houston when we need him to beat up on a see more
Seems like you dont know what that is.. you can visit that site and read about webmin and all the other usefull stuff there.
It is amazing you claim I am spamming..
I did not know you were that newb.. but anyway people are used to your annoying spamposts so I will just live with it
Thanks for the post, I have checked this out in past and it was going to use once. It seems to be a good item, don't let hot air (mydatery) keep you from posting things we could use.
But that would be asking too much wouldn't it?
(See how I did that?)
(Ooops - I think I did it again!)
Pure genius dude. You are the shibbitz. Really. A Dolphin God. Mythical in your abilities. Just as I said long ago. U B DA MAN!
Thank you
Some of these are very stable, use less resources, and are much faster than whm/cpanel. Guess it depends on your setup and needs, but nothing wrong with checking out the competition or the freebee's. Cpanel is nice, but it's not perfect either and it's not cheap. Some alternatives are a fraction see more
An essay about how bad I write english. Well actually I have been speaking english for 3-4 years so it should be quite normal In my opinion @Mydatery I haev blocked you from sending me pms and I dont want you to spam me either or to post negative stuff about me and you should not do it about others aswell since you are just destroying the atmoshphere with negative posts/pms.
Why see more
Big ticks for the price (nada) and support (didn't someone say support's quite good?). But I'm wondering what the downsides are.
It almost seems like CPanel is now the quasi-standard server admin panel. If it has to come to it, is it relatively painless to migrate files from webmin-administered servers to CPanel-administered ones, and vice versa? I tried Installatron before and then moved over to CPanel, and that see more
If you are going to use it for personal use, no problem you can use WebMin. Even there is no need for a control panel. Is it necessary???
I do want to try webmin, I just gotta start a new virtual box or vmware or some other emulator. Thanks for reminding me!
