What is a VPS without a Control Panel Good for?

A VPS without a control panel is both an educational and practical tool. Linux administration is a huge commercial field, and experience with Linux servers is a must. Our VPS packages deliver full control, enabling you to both utlize the VPS as you would a more expensive dedicated server environment. Many of our customers are hobbyists and online entrepreneurs.

What is a VPS with Webmin good for?

Webmin is not a replacement for a commercial control panel. It is an open source, FREE web-based control panel. However, I think the term ?web-based configuration wizard? might be a less misunderstood term. It is worth noting that you will not have any less control of a Webmin VPS than a conventional Webmin Linux server. Do not choose Webmin if you are not used to manually provisioning a Linux server for use. This means if you do not know how to configure Apache, do not choose Webmin. If you are not familiar with MTA softtware supporting mailboxes, do not choose Webmin.

There is a lot of confusion over what webmin is and what it can do. We wish to clear this up.


Webmin is not a replacement for a commercial control panel

Webmin is not for web hosting companies

Webmin is not as user friendly as WHM/Cpanel or Plesk

Webmin does not have allow you to automatically generate ?users? or ?accounts? which have their own access to web services (ie, their own control panel).

Webmin creates no relationship between web, FTP, mail, dns ?users?.

Webmin can manage system users but creates no relationship between them and hosted websites, email addresses, DNS zones, etc.

Overall, webmin does not centrally configure your server for simplified management.
