Windows admin panels and recommendation?

Using Windows is new to me. I have two clients who need to use a lower end Windows server with .net and SQL Express. Can anyone recommend a control panel for this? I want to make mgt easier for me if possible. I want to be sure both users are isolated from each other. So far the only one I saw was Plesk. I am also planning on spinning this up on a slice from BuyVM - as both sites are minimal and the DBs are very small do you have any recommendations for which slice would be best? I do not have numbers of visits, etc but from what I can tell it is small. One site is only a form submission that is kept in the DB and some mgt behind it.

Thank you in advance for any help.

  • Go with Plesk, it has native .NET and SQL Express support. Get the cheapest possible Plesk license from https://www.znetlive.com/plesk/

  • +1 for Plesk. It just works.

    +1 for Plesk. One of the best for windows hosting control panel till date. For free one i have used websitepanel.net but i think the project is dead now. You can checkout https://mspcontrol.org/ too

  • Plesk. Because well, you have no other choice.

  • Thanks to everyone for the replies. I am going to try out Plesk. And thank you to @Synatiq for suggesting a reseller. Now to figure out which slice will work beat and for @Francisco to have some NY slices in stock.

  • You know, I am a HUGE fan of Pesk right, but never used it on any Windows environment. I've always used Linux.

    I've never used it but my buddy sitting in the cubicle over has because he saw me reading this post and asked what it was. He mentioned it got the job done but Plex was just easier and better for him.
