Open Source Web Hosting Panel - ISPConfig
Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 1:03 am
ISPConfig is an Open Source software package for managing shared web hosting. It is a free alternative to software like Plesk and CPanel, and supports all major Linux distributions (no Windows support). It provides a web-based control panel interface for managing all the hosting services including the Web, FTP, DNS, and mail servers. This basically eliminates the need to know how it all works (though it doesn't hurt to know).
Installation is completely automated, and takes only a few minutes if you are installing on a clean system. Keep in mind, however, that troubleshooting can be difficult if something goes wrong. Paid installation service is also available.
If you are looking for an alternative to expensive hosting control panels, this is it. You may also be interested to know that this website (and others hosted at UltraMega) is managed using this software. It really makes things much easier.
