Virtualmin is good and stable. Kloxo is too unstable. Zpanel is ok but I'm not sure how stable it is.
zpanel is bad idea security-wise.
Virtualmin is the most complete I know which also allows you to upgrade the OS and use other services seaminglesly.
There are many others, but not so tested and maintained as this.
You cant go wrong learning about virtualmin.
Virtualmin is your best option.
How about VestaCP?
I use Virtualmin. Always have done and it serves me well.
There is a free version (GPL) and also a paid pro version.
In my experience, the GPL will do just fine for most people however if you're looking for an extensive script installer like softaculous or the ability to create reseller accounts then you'll need the pro version.
virtualmin.com/download.html has all the information you need!
But i use kloxo for personal usage. Its works fine for me and very easy to install too. But its unstable and seems to be seen like a uncomplete panel.
I'm going to test VestaCP one of these days. I either end up using Virtualmin, CPanel/WHM (yep, not free), or nothing at all. VestaCP does look like a nice control panel.
Who would pay for zpanel hosting!
you are probably better off starting with a cPanel reseller account until you get enough clients..
all the panels don't seem to have a good support for nginx. some do but just not that flexible. if you don't care about using apache then virtualmin does the job.
I've been meaning to try VestaCP for a while. I've actually today just freed up a VPS I'm not using so maybe I'll drop it on there and have a play
I've been using i-mscp on all my Debian/Ubuntu VPSes since 3 years. It has everything I need, it's open source and well supported.
If you speak Russian, I suggest you to go with VestaCP. It's very nice but their forum is pretty much all Russian... so if you want support, you either have to understand or pay for it.
If you don't, ISPConfig is the best cPanel alternative in my opinion. ISPConfig is BETTER than VestaCP on almost every aspect, it's just more complicated and not as "good looking" (subjective).
Install LNMP stack yourself
That would be hard to manage as he want to do web hosting business.
still love kloxo as free
working good for centos 64bit and php53
I think this will be my solution.
Trying it.

Ah, didn't read that part...
You know what no one brings up in these threads? Enkompass. It's basically cpanel for windows, and it's free.
I prefer vesta but I just wanted to make an off the wall suggestion that I never see
VestaCP is the best automated install I ever found.
Webmin is really good! (that's what I use on my non Cent OS servers, no matter how ironic that sounds)
Plesk 11.. not free but 2€ from netsys-online.com ..
If you get a server from DS/WII DirectAdmin is free..
I use KloxoMR and is very good. I used zPanel, is a piece of crap, and other control panels. And true, Virtualmin is good aswell.
VestaCP is working nicely for me, thanks for being the one to originally point it out.
Enkompass is hardly supported, I'm not even sure if it's under active development anymore, the last release was over a year ago, also Windows...
DirectAdmin is nice, it runs on Debian which is one of the best things about VestaCP as well.
DirectAdmin is good. For free you can prefer virtualmin.
I've just started using ISPConfig3, it's not bad and I have had no complaints from clients about it
Tuxlite + Ajenti = Awesome
They don't bring it up cuz windows is shit for servers.
On the contrary, Windows is far superior as a server platform than Linux.
