<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I know that most of you are "raw Linux" geeks, but, as a control panel user on rented Linux servers (usually VPS), I'll ask anyway. This affects a decision about to be made.<br>
</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> <br>I have had extensive experience with WHM/cPanel (crappy!) and Plesk (superb!) over the years and right up to the present.<br>
<br>But, partly to save money, we are now looking at Virtualmin, which is part of the Virtualmin/Webmin/Cloudmin family.<br> <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
The question is simple: Is this Virtualmin/Webmin/Cloudmin stuff a viable alternative? We don't need a huge array of features, but we need the stuff to work properly, and to be user-friendly enough for us to use. Reseller and/or customer layers for setting up domains/sites would be desirable.<br>
<br>We are IT people to quite a degree, but not knowledgeable enough at the Linux prompt nor of all the details of the Linux OS.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Also, does anyone here know whether Virtualmin/Webmin/Cloudmin entangle themselves into the OS the way WHM/cPanel and Plesk both do (requiring a disk format and fresh OS install to get rid of them)?<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">And finally, would anyone here be willing to give some paid help if we get stuck or into trouble with Virtualmin/Webmin/Cloudmin?<br>
