What is your favorite control panel and why?

    WHat is your favorite control panel and why? (ie; Plesk, cPanel, Ensim)

    I prefer Plesk on servers that host simple sites that need no server side customization. However, I use cPanel for servers with sites that use php extensions like FFMPEG and the sort. Plesk just hates custom configs.

    DirectAdmin for my VPSs...low on price and system resources with great functionality.

    For shared and reseller accounts from other hosts, cPanel is OK

    Hsphere, not as easy for the end user, but way above the rest in managing multiple servers (clusters).

    All the servers I have used before had cPanel and I think it is very simple to use cPanel. My current host is having Plesk 8.1. At first I didn't like it at all, because compared to cPanel it is very difficult to use. But now I've started liking Plesk. The only thing that I don't like is that the access log is saved in a processed format. Hence my hosting account runs out of space every few weeks :(.

    I'll be not original, but I use cPanel frequently... easy even for not experienced user, clear and comprehensible.

    Is this a joke? ;) At root level CPanel is very good, just use stable releases and CentOS, make sure you have at the very least 512mb of ram and it works great. ServerCP is pretty good too, It comes with mySQl, PHP, postgreSQL and you can even easily, install RoR too, its a loy cheaper than CPanel too

    I'd just like to say that CPanel have the best support i've ever used and no I don't work for then :)
