Your favourite Web Hosting Control Panel

Please choose your favourite web hosting control panel.

Only 10 options here in the forum so I combined KeyHelp / Hestia / Virtualmin / Webmin. (but they are not related AFAIK)


I am wondering if it has to be CPanel or Plesk, not necessarily for the cost alone, maybe they are too overwhelming / overloaded for most?

While I kinda like CloudPanel, they offer hosting themselves, and I wonder when they'll lose interest in a panel they don't get much from (it's free)

I didn't like Litespeed's CyberPanel, found it too cluttered, and too much upselling.

I want resource limitation and my favourites are:

- Not VPS but CloudLinux: CPanel & Litespeed Pro
- KVM VPS with CloudPanel (free, Nginx, no E-Mail, DNS)
- KVM VPS with LiveConfig (€10, Nginx, complete)
- Plesk??

I could live with either Nginx or Litespeed.

DirectAdmin lets you offer customers the choice between 1) Apache, 2) Nginx, 3) Nginx proxy for Apache, 4) OpenLitespeed and 5) Litespeed Pro - which I really like although it'll probably increase the support burden. Also, I've read quite a few fairly recent complaints about DirectAdmin

I voted LiveConfig for its speed, minimalism, self-contained (doesn't need web server of PHP)

CPanel, Plesk and Cloudpanel are my other favourites although unlike LiveConfig I have only little experience with them

Actually its a bit tricky question and poll, overall I have voted for cPanel, and below is our take on it.

cPanel for linux shared hosting, common websites
DirectAdmin for high speed websites and wordpress hosting
Plesk for windows based hosting
