VPS control panel

Generally speaking, the panels we use can basically be used on various Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, etc., such as the Pagoda panel, VestaCP panel, ISPConfig panel, etc., all of which can be installed and run on Linux. However, the CentOS Web Panel I want to share today is “different”.

As you can tell from the name, CentOS Web Panel is a VPS control panel specially built for CentOS systems. It can be said to be very powerful. CWP will automatically install a complete LAMP on your server, including: apache, php, phpmyadmin , webmail, mailserver.

A friend previously recommended the aaPanel panel to me on the special page of the server control panel list. This is an international version of the Pagoda Linux panel. It gives me the feeling that it is exactly the same as the Chinese version of the Pagoda Linux panel, except that it is changed to English. The interface is more suitable for foreigners to use, but other functions are the same.

A few days ago, I shared two excellent foreign VPS host panels: Vestacp and ISPConfig. A friend said in a message that the new version of BT.cn Pagoda VPS host control panel can deploy SSL certificates with one click. Regarding the Pagoda VPS host panel, I tried it when it was first launched. It has the same feeling as AMH back then. The functions are simple but the interface is beautiful, which is suitable for novices to build websites.

VestaCP is a free hosting control panel developed by foreigners. It can help you quickly manage VPS hosts and servers. You can use VestaCP as a virtual host management system, because VestaCP supports online creation of websites, binding domain names, management of MysqL, Set scheduled backup and other tasks. It is almost similar to the Cpanel panel.

ISPConfig 3 is a very excellent foreign VPS host control panel. It is free and open source and has been continuously developed for several years. Currently, ISPConfig 3 can basically be installed on all major Linux operating systems and supports one-click installation, including Apache2 and nginx, Postfix, Dovecot, PureFTPD, Bind, PowerDNS, MySQL, etc.

Kloxo-MR is an open source server control panel that can be used to create and manage virtual hosts on Redhat/CentOS 5, 6 and 7 systems. As can be seen from the name, Kloxo-MR is improved based on Kloxo, but Kloxo-MR has poor performance. A lot of improvements have been made to it as well as its functions, making it easier to use.

WDCP is a well-established domestic server control panel. I have used WDCP before when building a website. The overall feeling is that WDCP is easy to install and the control panel has powerful backend functions. It is especially suitable for use in an Apache environment. But the reason why it was abandoned later was that WDCP had not been updated for a long time and loopholes appeared frequently, which made people worried.

After using WHMCS with Vestacp, I found that Cpanel is indeed no longer needed. In fact, we don’t use many functions to build the website. The virtual host management panel only needs a few basic functions such as binding a domain name, FTP file management, MysqL database management, etc. Although Cpanel is very powerful, many functions are not needed.

Virtualmin/Webmin are actually two different management systems. Webmin is a WEB-based user interface. It mainly helps server management manage servers through the Web interface, such as managing system users, configuring Web servers, DNS resolution, and file sharing between servers. It is a powerful Unix system management panel. .

Nginx, Apache, and IIS are currently the most common web servers. Whether they are commercial or free, we can see Nginx, Apache, and IIS. However, there are several web servers that have attracted much attention for their high performance: Lighttpd, LiteSpeed ​​and Zeus. Lighttpd is an open source product, while LiteSpeed ​​and Zeus are commercial software.
