    However, it seems you have no experience in server management. In that case, I would suggest you to try with a managed VPS, not unmanaged. If you are learning to use CLI, it's fine. But if you want to host your business sites on it, you want them to run on a good environment, is that correct?

    A slightly better than webmin solution is lxadmin. Its not great, but it has everything you need, much like DA.
