VPS without control panel

[LVPShosting]

it is god option to save some money... but there are free panels like webmin and is good if you know how to use it..

I would always recommend cPanel OR Plesk control panel in a long run. Easy to manage things and install updates. There are license reseller like cPanelDirect which offer licenses at low price.

Unless a person has a need to get a VPS without a control panel such as proxies, etc they should always get a panel. It makes it much easier to run their box, unless they know how to effectively setup the services and processes without the panel.

you could install own kloxo free or if want cpanel its a cost which your provider can do

 

[expertwebhost]

eventhough kloxo is the better free alternative, it seems to be having some security issues.

Something you have to take into consideration is the fact that someone else brought up earlier in the thread

simply installing a panel on top of an existing structure is going to cause problems in the long run. Each panel has it's own way of doing things (installing apache, for example) weather it be in a different directory, or with different options.

Not to mention, with apache, when you install the new panel, you will lose all your vHosts, and everything in favor of the new panel. The panel essentally takes over ALL of the management of those services, and will only do it ITS way

If you are serious about installing a panel, you need to BACK UP ALL YOUR SITES before you even come close to installing it. Then it's best to start with a clean VPS (reload the OS)

You can use an open source control panel if you prefer. There's no need. A few good ones are ISPConfig, Kloxo, and my favorite, VirtualMin GPL

Get kloxo is the best free cp out there. Saves you 15$/month for a cpanel license

Kloxo is good for free

sir if u dont control panel u can try webmin its free also there is other free and if u dont wanna use control panel u can do what ever u want from ssh

 

[cyberq]

What do you think about ispmanager?

 

[kunnusingh]

You can use Webmin, web-cp, kloxo and any other free control panel.

 

[ubservers]

Yes he can install a control panel without any restriction and he can even install free ones such as Webmin which works great in most cases.

 

[TheRACK]

there shouldnt be any restrictions and webmin should do the trick.

 

[mishka]

Yes you can Install any control panel at anytime. But better to talk your hosting provider bcz they have low cost control panels.

I would do a manual analog back up first in case the other back up fails

 

[ModulesGarden]

Yes he can purchase cPanel license from other provider and get help for its installation for example but this will not be the most lucrative offer for sure.
