Yes, I’m still using DTC.

I’m not familiar with the Pro version of virtualmin, but if going with a cheap non-free panel, I’d have a look at HSphere first – it seems to cater for all the major needs of hosting users.

Thank you for this post.

Still using DTC or switched to something else ?

In my opinion virtualmin is currently the best one avilable. I mean the pro, which i cant afford right now.

It isn’t free, it is $24.00/mo or $249.95/year or $349.95 once (at the moment of writing).

Hello blog followers,

If you are looking for something simple and yet robust with many features that others don’t offer in their control panel take a look at HMSPANEL from http://www.hmspanel.com.

The software runs much faster than others and gets things done. They are also throwing in a billing system that is optional for use but it is there for those who may need it.

Another great feature is that you can attach multiple servers to the master server and you can manage them from the same administration page. You can basically provision IPs and hosting accounts from one place on any of the additional servers.

Cheers!

Mike

Dudi,

thank you for the suggestion. I have had a look at both and have the following impressions to share:

OpenPanel doesn’t seem to be really actively developed (last beta release in the middle of previous year). Also, based on what I have seen on screenshots, it looses feature-wise to DTC. As another comparison, I’ve seen DTC running on many other servers, while OpenPanel is a fresh, not yet tested product (and this time I wasn’t looking for something to test). What I do like about OpenPanel is that (correct me if I’m wrong) it is using Unix users system for its purposes (DTC isn’t). I also do like the CLI of OpenPanel, though I’m sure similar functionality is available in DTC (but I’ve never tried). Interface of OpenPanel also gains it an extra point.

ispCP is a descendant of VHCS, which was abandoned in circa 2004. At the time I tried, their demo site was not accessible – so I’m judging by the screenshots here as well . Although I like ispCP Omega a bit more than OpenPanel, it is also too fresh to be tried – not really in production.

Anyway, I think these too panels yet have to grow a bit to match DTC.

Actually, I loosely followed the Etch guide for Lenny. It appears to be almost the same, though I think there were some minor differences.

exactly what I am looking for. I am also eagerly expecting the Perfect Server Setup for Lenny. Thank you for this informative post.
