Moving away from cPanel to centospanel or a future version of Webuzo?

Due to cPanel price increase, the market is now wide open for other website control panels. I really like webuzo but for some reason, they will not allow reselling of hosting which is quite weird. Softaculous could easily provide a solid web panel easy to use admin and user end.

Can anyone who knows someone at Softaculous get any feedback on where webuzo panel is going now cPanel is not an option for 90% of small business globally.

The most viable options right now are:
Centos panel (free whmcs module available)
VestaCp
DirectAdmin?
Right now after research and using a few panels testing them out CentosWebPanel seems to be the most logical option though maybe i am wrong i just wish webuzo had more options and migrating to webuzo with a username longer than 8 charachters is an issue. I will be using webuzo for my sites and for customers i think centospanel due to whmcs module and good API options.

  • Webuzo is kinda buggy. I used it for a few years before deciding that sudo apt works way better and haven't looked back

    It is lightweight and easy to use for end users, i would say it has the best end-user GUI though it can be buggy especially cPanel migration character limit and no option of selling hosting automated.

    Softaculous have the manpower and skills to make it an amazing panel but for some reason, they won't offer features available in other free website control panels.

    if you're looking for something free.
    If not, ISP or Plesk.
    Both much worst then cPanel, but what to do...

    Webuzo is from the same company as Virtualizor.
    I hope it's not the same trash.

    If you go for centos panel then you putting your customers at risk. The panel has not have a proper audit done on it. Sorry the issues that was pointed out in 2018 were mind blowing about how bad the panel is poorly written. I doubt they even have a clue about security because some the issues pointed out is just a big no no.

  • PieHasBeenEaten said: about security because some the issues pointed out is just a big no no.

    I see, i was just about to install centoswebpanel! So what free panel should be used if centospanel is no good right now? Vesacp?

  • LTniger said: It's the same trash.

    I use virtualizor it is a very good panel no issues and good support. A shame webuzo does not have more features like cPanel.

  • Is the new centospanel update since https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/43850 happened patched now and it is now safe?

    https://www.ispconfig.org/add-ons/ interesting, so this is free and very secure? This may be the best thing besides cPanel.
    Free whmcs module too: https://marketplace.whmcs.com/product/2214

    ISPConfig is 100% free and open source. It's been around gor ages and stable at that. It has an own included apps installer for some basic apps like WordPress, supports multiserver setup and VPS (ovz).Forum support is good and devs answer. You can pay for priority forum support, downloading .iso/images of pre-built ISPConfig setups, ISPConfig Manuals, no ads in the forum and downloading all HowToForge Tutorials as PDF..none of this is mandatory but in case you want to support development.

    It's like 25€/6months.

    https://www.howtoforge.com/subscription

    You can also get the subscription for free when you write tutorials for HowToForge:

    Free Blesta Module too :)

    What do you prefer which one ISPconfig or https://www.hestiacp.com/ or maybe you have not tried hestiacp?

    Hestia is similar to Vesta just more security focused. It's definitely the most simple to use of the two or even all free panels. Overall I prefer ISPConfig though.

    Damm so down to 2 panels may be, i would like to make a poll or something but i don't want to be posting new threads to much here.

    Poll will only have everyone voting their own preferences. Try for yourself what fits best :)

    Will be using for customers, looks like ispconfig maybe the winner

  • Ispconfig migrate from cPanel tools or manual only?

    @websitehostingvps I still wouldn't touch it until they have a audit and say they have. It is hard to fix security issues when they don't have clue.

  • I've been using webuzo over a year now, its not 100% trash but it does has its fair share of uselessness. Great for wordpress though.

    It is my favourite website panel just no options for selling hosting automated sadly, otherwise, it is a great panel.

    At WHT Patric from Rack911 asked which free panel community whats him to revue so I answered that

    I do not plan to use CWP but we got to have an solution for providers/ webdesigners that host their customers on vps setupped as hosting (to get more power than from reseller accoun) but are on a budget

    CWP +1
    I know that Centos Web Panel guy is a bit arrogant at some moments online but it's panel is the only panel that is build in mind for shared hosting from feature stand point and with UI close to cPanel so I'll vote for it... and if it is chosen for test It will be nice to have it tested on the pro version and if possible with Cloud Linux, cage fs on and comodo mod security rules enabled (possibly and LS too) and CSF ... That panel if it is developed into something secure enough and gain traction will gave the similar support load for daily operations to cPanel

    P.S. If I got to choose an open source panel for my personal vps or my main site VPS or just to host couple of sites I have not issues to choose and recommend ISPConfig based on Its developers (how to forge guys) and that they use it in real production for their German Native Nginx Hosting provider so it has years in production - the only minus is that dev choose to do some of the UI things (can seems a bit strange to a cPanel hoster and cPanel customers ) lack of Cloud Linux and LS and by my opinion if it is chosen for shared hosting, support load for daily operation it that it will generate will be much higher than cPanel and potentially CWP

    P.S.S Off topic I think that current my contestant for shared hosting is DA it is a bit basic but that should not be an issue for the end customers and after initial setup... my reasoning is good security track records trough the years for what found, good price model, support for CL and LS, Softaculous , enough documentation limiting on the outgoing mail after certain number) and Jetbackup confirmed they are working on it (on their request tracker) and free optional dns cluster to slave servers with a app (user developed) that recognize api command (so it can be created without additional licenese so it will be similar to cpanel cluster)

    About webuzo I had a client with an vps which run it for an year the main issue that it was a bit buggy om some operations but mostly works and config files are on super strange places
