Hi
I am using Centos 4.3 to host various web sites that I maintain. I am
finding that I am getting more and more, and I have thought of setting
up a hosting server to make things quicker for my self. I have setup
webmin with virtualmin and it seems to work fine so far. What is
everyone else using. I don't want to invest alot of money, but would
like some thing that is quick and easy to setup a domain and mysql
database, ftp etc. Right now I have to edit httpd, etc etc.
Thanks
Mace
I use Webmin and am really happy with it. No, it doesn't have the
automated powers of Plesk or Cpanel, but it doesn't have any limitations
that I know of. (and you can always script those additional packages on
install)
I have many times customized accounts via the command-line. So far,
Webmin has never balked. To my understanding, Plesk and Cpanel need you
to operate totally under their GUI (or by knowing the GUI inside and
out), which to me limits my abilities. If you're doing nothing but plain
Jane hosting, the others would be better.. but if you want to keep the
hands on control when you want it... Webmin is likely the better choice.
Actually, Webmin has taught me a lot.. alternative ways of doing things.
Viewing what Webmin does in the config files and where is a great
learning tool.
I would not have recommended it a couple of years ago.. but I do think
it has come along into a very nice application and has some really good
backing by Open Country.
Best,
John Hinton
