Hey there,
some are run with ispconfig some with cPanel , some use DirectAdmin
control panel ,
DirectAdmin which proven itself to be a reliable hosting panel "layman
friendly" , would be my suggestion.
if you are talking about hosting your own stuff, it won't be needed
,but when it comes to providing third party access to the account,
cPanel or DirectAdmin are the best choice.
