Which free panel do you use?

MisterMister Member without signature
in General

Hello,

which free (open-source) panel do you use to manage your web and email hosting?

Some of them are going in wrong direction, with every update they make more mess.

    Used Cyberpanel before, now I always use KeyHelp, fully brandable as well and easy to install.

    Which distro do you use for it? Do you use own nameservers or external dns?

    I am an Ubuntu guy, but I am looking at using Debian since it is much better for networking stuff, they are very similar anyway.

    For nameservers, I just use Vultr DNS since it is free, has DNSSEC support and is anycasted (multiple locations). I am moving to my own DNS, anycasted hosted on a few nodes around the world

    DirectAdmin is cool for larger servers and commercial projects. 1GB/2GB RAM VPS is not so for DA.

    ISPconfig + nginx. I've been using it for years and it is rock-solid.

    One of the reasons I love it :) I understand many prefer CentOS but I have always been a Debian/Ubuntu user.

    I don't mind either of the two to be fair, but in all fairness it is a good thing that they are limiting the support to just a few different distributions to make it easier to maintain. Many panels have failed due to that the developers have been taking water over the head and been making the codebase hard to maintain, due to supporting too many different softwares/distributions.

    The only major concern I have is that a large portion of Keyhelp is encoded in Ioncube, so you don't really know what is actually running on the system or what their installation/upgrade scripts does.

    With that said, I have been running it on a VPS for 2 years and thus far no issues.

    Absolutely! KeyHelp is very stable on my installation.
    One thing to keep in mind is that on small servers, you'll need to disable antivirus checks and ClamAV so that you don't run out of RAM.

    Agree, if you don't want DNS, mail etc then 1-click-install is much better.
    i had setup 2 small vpses with 1-click-install and they are running smooth for months.

    The first message posted by you only mentioned ls and ls cache. Second message added information that was not available at the time I responded.
    This is
    Information asymmetry :-)

    On that note,

    Merit of hosting dns and mail on same server that hosts wp site is not clear to me. What might they be?

    Which panels have OLS Support, if not then nginx at least ?? Apache is something I don't admire at all.

    I have found so far-

    cyberpanel - OLS
    aapanel - OLS
    KeyHelp - nginx

    simple, i don't need to run another instance for mail

    Its just free. Not encrypted. Not for redistribution. So its hard to use for your clients. Good for personal server.

    I’d disagree, DA + LiteSpeed + CloudLinux runs smoothly on 1G and 2G VM’s.

    Sorry, completely did not notice open source for some reason.

    If end users are not provided access to the control panel, Webmin can be enough to manage the web and email hosting on the server as well as manage the server in general.

    I am wondering how well they are with nginx now. Many years ago, running nginx with it was not a good experience. But now I read that we can install Virtualmin directly with Nginx installed, not like before.
