Hosting Control Panels

[D-Mac]

Hi

Could anyone recommend a good control panel for managing domains etc.?

I'm familiar with CPanel, but it is rather pricey.
I've tried the demo of CubePanel, and it seems ok.

Are there any others I could try?

Thanks

haven't tried any of these, I just found them on wikipedia, although I have heard of plesk

plesk
DirectAdmin
H-Sphere
Helm
ISPConfig
ISPmanager
Lxadmin
Webmin
openpanel

Plesk and cPanel are the best IMO

plesk, cpanel and directadmin are all good and easy to use.

webmin's free but it's confusing as hell, don't know about the rest.

Thanks guys. I'll wade through these and will see which I like most.

I like Webmin, but you do have to have some knowledge of server configs to use it.

I absolutely loathe Plesk, its fine for an absolutely standard web server, but if you want customise the server in any way its a real PITA. It puts the config files in non standard places as well, so can be difficult following server config help and tutorials etc unless they are specifically written for it. Personally I would like to see it banned from the net, but unfortunately its in widespread use.

I agree it does make life easy for people who have no idea about server configuration, but if you do it just makes life harder.
