UpCloud could potentially perform better than both, but they have limited locations.
And I would also recommend looking in to UpCloud. Use Vesta if you want a simpler panel for hosting a single website or just a few but want to do more server-admin stuff manually.Īdditionally, I think VULTR has a couple benefits that still put it ahead of DigitalOcean.
DIGITALOCEAN CPANEL WHM FULL
Use Webmin if you want a full server-administration panel. So use CentOS if you want a type of WHM/cPanel clone. And similar to Webmin, you can usually administer things in the file system without hurting the panel. I tend to use this panel on all my "play" servers because it's just easy, clean, installs fast, it just works. It can self-update and you can create "packages" for different virtual host configurations, with limited user logins. It is mostly for controlling virtual hosts, databases, cron jobs, DNS, backups, etc. Vesta: This panel is minimalist and clean. You can edit config files and work in the system without harming the panel.Īs mentiond earlier, Webmin can be clustered with multiple servers, though I haven't played with this feature, it might be just what you are looking for.
DIGITALOCEAN CPANEL WHM INSTALL
One thing I like about Webmin is that all the modules/libraries/programs typically install to their normal locations. It is a general server admin panel that can do a lot of things and be expanded with modules. It can also deal with web serving and virtual hosts and stuff, but that is not it's main focus. For example you can schedule arbitrary shell commands to run, or read logs, set up NFS or iSCSI or manage LVM partitions, do package updates, and much much more. This panel has many more features designed to administer a server, rather that just a web server. Webmin: This panel has an aged interface, but there is a nice theme called "Authentic Theme" that you'll want to install, it's pretty nice. Almost all server management will be in the panel, and it may move libraries and config files to non-standard locations. This one can have a master account and subaccounts for clients but you'll be hosting many sites on one server, or just one site, doesn't matter.ĬentOS Web Panel: This has a ton of options, it's very similar to WHM/cPanel but it takes over the server, and you'll want to run it on CentOS most likely.
Īnother nice panel I use for hosting multiple sites on one server is Vesta Control Panel. This is a popular server management panel but it has the ability to link multiple servers together. If you want multiple servers but control them from one interface, you might look in to Webmin. This one has a master admin login but then each account can have a more limited login for your clients. If you want a VPS with a control panel most like WHM but without the cost, then I would recommend CentOS Web Panel. Instead of a single WHM to manage all the sites, you'd just have dozens of individual cPanels to log in to one by one. If you go this route, the control panel is not as convenient as you might think. It sounds like you're trying to do something like host one website per server, is this correct? So a small site gets a cheaper server while the larger site gets a more expensive server? Has someone on the forum any experience with such VPS hosting and could he tell approximately how long does the first setup last and how much time per week or month is required for maintenance? Should I use a low cost rescue web hosting together with a failover service? The learning curve to install things like Apache, PHP, MySQL and RoundCube doesn't scare me too much as there are tutorials and taking time is worth if things were installed "once and for all".Īs there are regular upgrades of PHP and many softwares, how time consuming are these tasks?ĭo simple commands like "apt-get upgrade" suffice or will I need to fully reinstall/migrate the server when new versions of Apache / PHP / MySQL / PostgreSQL are published?Īnother fear I have is how can it be stressful when things go wrong. However, I remember that operating a web server like Apache is not that easy when not done on an almost daily basis. I also have some experience from Apache administration. I'm a regular user of Linux and I'm not scared about the console line. However, I wonder how much time is required by the system admin tasks. I'm looking in the direction of a small VPS like those from Vultr and DigitalOcean as this would allow lower web hosting costs, more freedom with packages that I want to use and possibly better speeds as the websites would not be hosted together with ressource hungry ones. I have several MODx domains on shared hostings.
