Open Source Web Hosting Panel

Anyone who’s ever bought a simple hosting plan has probably used a control panel to manage their website or Linux server. A hosting control panel provides an easy to use, a manageable user interface so that you can easily manage all aspects of hosting. Some of the common features for all control panels include FTP management, database management, email management etc. System admin processed are complex in nature and hence a Control panel allows you to do most of it in just a few clicks from a graphical user interface. 

Following are some of the Open Source web hosting panels we recommend for Linux and are also popular in the market

 

Webmin – Most popular among free open source community

A long-standing choice of system administrators who want a free, full-featured open-source control panel, Webmin is a powerful tool to handle DNS, configuration, webmail, file sharing and the like. It can also become a traditional web hosting control panel with the addition of the Usermin and Virtualmin modules (and can also manage virtual systems with the Cloudmin module). Once the complete system is running, it rivals cPanel for functionality, and it will run on just about any Linux distro.  

 

Ajenti 

Ajenti is a relatively much new product in the market but it has gained a lot of recognition and user acceptance in last few years. It comes along with a wide range of plugins for Apache, Cron, DHCPD, NFSD, Iptables, MySQL, Netatalk, NGINX, PostgreSQL, Samba, and much more. You can also view basic server information such as RAM in use, free disk space, etc. Ajenti takes care of cron, nameservers, file management.  
Ajenti has a simple and streamlined interface which anyone can master quickly, and it does a nice job. What it doesn’t do is offer many of the deep management functions of cPanel or Webmin, but it’s worth looking at if you are just searching for a control panel which will handle the basics of server management without a learning curve or steep price.

 

Sentora

An open-source software, released under the GPL v3 license Sentora is a free open source control panel. This “free-to- download” web hosting control panel is developed for Linux, UNIX, and BSD based servers or computers. It comes with support for software like Apache HTTPd, PHP, ProFTPd, MySQL/MariaDB, Postfix, Dovecots and more, which makes the web hosting management process very simplified. 

 

CENT OS Web Panel

This feature-rich control panel includes many versatile features such as Apache Web Server along with PHP and a PHP switcher. It also includes MySQL along with phpMyAdmin and Config Server Firewall. With CENT OS Web Panel, there is no need to access SSH for every small task. Other features include live monitoring, CPanel account migration, and Free DNS Server. 
It is also a very easy user management interface with advanced security like the file system lock wherein all your files are locked from changes to prevent website hacking.
