good software to manage multiple VPS, create, delete, and transfer server to server with a icon based interface that will work on centos..
I would like something i could create a template vps with selected os etc. and just duplicate and then install whm/cpanel afterwords..
I indicated that I've basically been using my webhosting company as "file storage".
1) I create all my files in .html using notepad
2) My files are limited to .html, .jpg, .gif, (and a couple of .js and .css) files.
3) My domain is not connected with my webhost; I use the nameserver zoneedit.com and I use URL forwarding and mask/cloak the domain the address bar (using multiple domains) as follows:
domain1.com --> forwards to [url]
domain2.com --> forwards to [url]
domain3.com --> forwards to [url]
4) For uploading files, I go to ftp://123.456.78 and drop/drag/copy/paste files into the window using my browser
5) I'm able to password protect the subdirectories as I choose.
---------------
I called my webhost, Hostik, and told them that I was unable to do anything on my web console. I can't change a password, create a user, or even access my usage/bandwidth quotas.
They told me that I'm on an "old server" using the windows-based console (probably C-Panel / Control Panel) and they're in the process over the next three months of transfering everyone over to "Plesk".
So, they set me up with a new Plesk account, while keeping the old one in place, so that I could move/transfer my files to the Plesk account.
When I went to Plesk, I realized things are not the same:
1) In my Control Panel / C-Panel, I had a unique IP URL Address - [url]
2) In Plesk, it seems there's a set IP URL Address - [url] - that everyone shares.
3) I was told that in Plesk, many people use that IP URL address and that I'm supposed to place my files into the "httpdocs" folder.
Appearently, this is a system of shared hosting whereby many people have the same IP URL address (different from what I had before) and it recognizes each account by the login or something, so the "httpdocs" folder would identify my domain.
I was then told that in Plesk, I must have my domain affixed to the Plesk account.
In other words, I can no longer do what I was doing before, having my domain separated in another location and using URL forwarding from an outside nameserver.
--------------------------
So, my original question is what's the difference between Plesk vs. C-Panel/Control Panel?
Perhaps I answered most of it above.
Is it correct that I can't do things the way I've been doing them so far if that's the case?
It might be that Plesk is not for me and I may need to find a host that gives me my own unique IP URL Address. However, I was informed that not many companies are doing that as most are switching over to Plesk.
In addition, Hostik does not offer multiple domains.
In response to this thread, David recommended I try synhosting.com
synhosting.com has "Multiple Websites". I assume this means mulitiple domains. Correct?
What's my best option at this point?
1) Find a host that has C-Panel / Control Panel (if any there are)?
2) Use a service such as synhosting.com and move all my domains over to them?
3) If I do use synhosting.com, am I required to move my domains over to their nameservers?
4) I have my MX Mail records pointing to Fastmail.fm for my email virtual domains. Would I still be able to do this if my domain is dedicated to a webhost and opt not to use their email feature?
5) Should I get rid of this old-school thought of using my web host as "file storage" and stop this practice of using URL forwarding and cloaking?
I tried contacting the live support from fatcow, and he was no help. It was probably just the guy i had but thats not the point. I think i am going to go with them but what control panel do they use?

So, I am looking for another control panel for Xen. I will need it to run on CentOS mostly. And able to create Windows VPS. I only know dtc, but it's built for Debian.
Which hosts allow you to reinstall the OS yourself, very important if your just starting out or want to try another distro etc.
Netdirekt
Hetzner (in German only)
Vectoral (No, KVM on request only)
I am running vps business and i would like to have your guys advice of which control panel to offer to all om my customers.
Most people leave my services only because they need to have simple control panel for their vps. So im looking for any commercial control panel which i can provide with all of my vps servers. Also It should not use more than 30Mb of ram and and shold not be a cpu hog.
Right now iam looking at ServerCP (as they have a deal when you can buy 100 for 69 dollars) but it needs about 128Mb of ram to function and its just too much.
I am having a very weird problem with virtuozzo. I created about 8 VPS in my server. But when i logged into the server after two days, I could find that some of the VPS i had created disappeared. And the ones that still listed, were in the mounted state.
I have no idea of what is happening with the server. To list all the VPS back i had to log into the base node and restart service vz.
I don log into the virtuozzo very often, but whenever i log into the panel after some time ( a day or two) this is what happens.
I need to move clients over to the new VPS, but the issue is causing a lot of worry for me. What if this happens once i move the client over. I cannot always go restarting th vz.
Please solve these issues
1) VPS changing to the mounted state
2) VPS disappearing from the virtuozzo panel.
I have got a dedicated server for me.
It is with fresh OS. I was wondering which FREE control panel should I install on it.
It is a 2.6Celeron with 512MB RAM (soon to be upgraded to 1GB) with Cent OS 5.
My concern is that if in future I am able to find a cheap directadmin external license then I would want to uninstall control panel and will use directadmin.
So i need advice on control panel:
Which is FREE
Can work for a website (dont need multi domain fancy stuff). Will only host single domain.
Can install apache / mysql / email etc.
Use apache NOT apache-light. I saw HostInABox but it uses apache-light which dont work well for my website features. Tested it in a VPS earlier.
Can uninstall cleanly if needed so that I dont have to reload OS in future inorder to install DA.
How about webmin or ispconfig.
Do they install easily and uninstall cleanly? I am not an expert but am learning quickly.
I've done some searches but, didn't find what I was looking for.
Which of WHM/CPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin requires the least memory to function in an adequate manner and what would that amount of memory approximately be?
If there is a significant difference between the three?
A contral panel like WHM costs extra about $5 and I want to save this, if I don't find out, why it makes sense for me. I know WHM and cpanel and I understand, that I need this for configuration as a reseller or customer to configure all, but with a VPS I have root-access. So why do I need a control panel with a VPS?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm just starting to explore the idea of getting dedicated server or good VPS for hosting websites of clients I do php/sql programming for. I want to learn the right way, so I downloaded CentOS iso's and installed the operating system on an old computer, learned how to use yum to install the server software, set up virtual hosts, etc. I would like to give clients ftp access though honestly most of their sites will be hooked up to CMS, but sometime might arise where somebody just wants hosting and not programming. I would like to do without a control panel and try to do as much as possible from command line. For limiting site's bandwidth i found mod_cband. Anybody have expreience with that? Does it work as it is supposed to? Now I'm wondering how to put a quota on how much space client can use on disk, but after much searching haven't come up with an answer. Anybody have any idea how you are supposed to do that? And also, haven't looked into the FTP end of things, as I can't really test that right now on development server, but is it possible to manage FTP accounts solely from command line and editing config files? Whew...I guess that's it for now.

Anyone used it? One of my friends showed me it, looks pretty neat actually.
For a 128 MB RAM powered VPS, which will be the least resource hungry control panel:
Quote:
1. WHM/cPanel
2. DirectAdmin Access
3. Webmin
4. Plesk
5. Virtuozzo Power Panel (??)
and the OS (least resource hungry + stable):
Quote:
1. Debian
2. CentOS
3. Redhat
4. Fedora
5. Ubuntu

Next, can life without a control panel work better?

View 0 Replies View RelatedI've been with Futurehosting for some time now, and have been very happy with them, but am having issues with 256 guaranteed RAM and cpanel, they've been very helpful, but I've been thinking about other control panels besides Virtuozzo, since I seem to have this issue frequently.
what do you guys think, do you guys like Virtuozzo? or do you prefer Xen, OpenVZ? what do you guys like?
I seem to have frequent issues with their not being enough RAM available to run the control panel, and I'm thinking it may be Virtuozzo related, in which case, I may want to try someone else who runs a different control panel possibly? I don't know
switching providers would be difficult, as I can't see myself getting a better price then I already get with Future Hosting right now, but I'm just thinking its gotta be Virtuozzo related, its gotta be, and I've heard with OpenVZ its got a panel where it will install applications for you, so you don't have to mess with compiling or yumming for stuff, that would be neat.
what are you guys opinions on different VPS control panels?
I mean, its either that, or go up to 512 guaranteed, 1024 burstable, which I don't think will still help any. I get service crashes all the time because there isn't enough RAM available to run cpanel basically, and my websites take up less space then most $1 shared hosting plans, which seems puzzling as to why this happens so often, so I'm thinking its gotta be a Virtuozzo issue of some sort maybe. I mean, I don't even use a gig of bandwidth every month between 3 domains combined. well maybe a gig combined at most, most of my sites clock out around the 450mb mark by the end of the month.
i have bought VPS with
Burstable Memory (MB): 512
Guaranteed Memory (MB): 256
And i like some free control panel,and to doesn't have high memory usage. And tell me the OS what type to have...I have at the moment CentOS. Also i need security,such block ddos attack or flood.

Another thing about directadmin, i select all folders and files at once trying to reset ownership but i always get an error and have to reset ownership one by one wasting time....
Beside Parallels Virtuozzo, what other commercial VPS Panel do you prefer to use on Linux/Unix?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat have you heard of LxAdmin control panel?
Iwhic.com offers it on their shared hosting and I don't know how usable it is.
I am planning to buy a vps from photonvps (dont know when)and i cant afford the cPanel so in order i will ask them to install a free one. I wanted to ask you what is the best for someone coming from shared hosting. It has to be very simple and easy like cPanel
Also if you can, in your posts include a demo or images of the panel you suggest.
