        Hello all,
         
        I'm looking to setup a new CentOS box for a
          buddy of mine who

          wants to do hosting on a server via CoLo, Years ago I whipped
          up a CP of my

          own on a Debian box he colo’d running a basterdized
          qmail/tinydns and custom

          built httpd/mysql/etc (I was young).  It worked ok but time to
          move on and I

          don't have time to maintain all those packages.  I also don't
          have

          time to write another CP or port my PoS to it.  I’m also just
          going to use the 
          
        default  packages (bind, postfix, etc)
          instead of the DJB stuff.

          
          Main requirements are fairly straightforward:

          
          1. able to add/manage domains, ssl cert management, manage DNS
          records

          2. able to manage email accounts and anti-spam settings

          3. able to add/manage mysql and pgsql (nice to have) 

          4. user management - ftp/ssh accounts, password change, etc.

          5. nice to have: add a wordpress blog / xcart store to a site

          6. nice to have: users have own login to do some of the above
          for their domain only

          7. nice to have: integrated website stats (awstats or equiv)

          8. not optional - should have a focus on security

          
          Stuff like viewing logs, automated billing, hosting plans,
          managing backups,

          bandwidth monitoring, uploading web pages, managing server
          patches,

          adding new software, etc. I don't mind leaving off or doing
          myself.  Willing to 
          
        pay a license, but not a huge budget.

          
          I was leaning towards webmin/virtualmin but thought I'd check
          with this list

          for any suggestions.  Had bad experiences with Plesk from a
          while

          ago so leaving that off the table.  We have experience with
          cPanel

          through another fail host, it's ok but too much stuff and too

          expensive.
