V. Cheap/Free CP's Anyone?

[Adam]

a good control panel(s) that is either free or very cheap, if possible to have a root server admin itnerface, then reseller and end user - although a root and end-user is acceptable"

http://webcp.can-host.com is a PHP Free CP

http://www.simplecp.com is a CGI Free CP, however, you will have to contact them about alphaing it, but not much has been done in awhile it seems.

EDIT: I also heard there is an addon for Webmin that allows an end user and so on, not sure.

webcp is ok, but i would say its worth spending the extra for one of the more robust products.

[Adam]

Which 'robust' product do you refer to?

To be honest while Ensim is a pretty good CP, i just don't like it - that's just my preferance.

Any suggestions?

[thebyp2]

well if your going for *nix then i would say cpanel. i know it gets alot of bad press but i still think its a lot more hard warring than most other panels out there.

not plesk though. thats just cr*p.

Well, CPanel isn't cheap, you can goto www.cpskins.com and get it for $60.00 a mont externally. Plesk is not cheap, and they don't offer monthly plans last I checked.

However, here is a cheap solution I just came across:

zervex is an interesting option. i have installed it a couple of times and not liked it. i don't really know why though. theres certainly nothing of consiquence wrong with it.

DSM looks quote nice actually, but now i wish i never met cPanel coz every feature of every automation system i find is immediately compared with cP in my mind!

[thebyp2]

cpanel really sets the standard at the moment

[Adam]

Although its brilliant that cpanel sets standards and such, without any disrespect to nick and the cp team or anything i really wish there would be some 'closer' competition.

I believe they are having a sale now for only $55/month? :baghead:

[Locke]

It's $55 for the first month, and then $60 every month after that.
