Quick question regarding VPS

Hello

I am just about to upgrade to VPS hosting,where Virtuozo power panel is included in monthly cost,but Cpanel will be another 15 dollars a month.Do I need cpanel?,dont have any experience of Virtuozo.What would be the advantages/disadvantages either way?

Thanks in advance

 

cpanel is really not needed. u can use lxadmin which supports 40 domains if u know apache well then u can handle with ssh without any panels.

btw its best to list here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=122 ask any mod to move

 

Thanks Chandan123


Mods please move thread

 

Virtuozzo Power panel won't help you with the hosting side of your vps. It is just for Reboot/OS reload etc, afaik.
You can use virtualmin or ehcp or ispconfig , all free.

 

Wait.. so you're saying we need two different panels for both server/vps and hosting?

 

Virtuozzo/Parallel's power panel is not installed on a container/vps. It is on the vps node & is only for start/stop/reboot/reload the container. It is not a hosting control panel.

A hosting control panel like virtualmin will help you create account for a domain name, manage services like apache, bind, ftp, mail, mysql etc & it will be installed on the vps.

Virtuozzo VPS control panel as ishan explains. cPanel and Virtuozzo serve different functions. Generally virtuozzo providers cost a bit more, if you're worried about cost, go with another type of panel, like panenthe, solusvm, vds manager, and there are others out there. These only serve to manage your VPS as a whole, not websites.

 

Hi, if you have your own server, there is no need for cpanel unless you are going to be selling hosting to others. Check out www.vserverpro.com. You can get a server for $19.99 per month. They have coupon codes too.
