I’m currently looking around for a cheap dedicated server or vps mainly for offsite backup and some testing. Normally I’m using cPanel but for such a server it’s not really worth to spend $20 a month for a control panel.
I had a while back a search for control panels and repeated this search this weekend again, found more or less the same software as the last time.
- RavenCore looks like a quite active project. Something I liked aside that the site looks nice is that there is a road map so you have an idea which features you can expect in the future.
- IPSConfig is an other active project
- VHCS looks active as well, however there are not so many news for the last month
- web://cp looks at the first impression dead, the latest news is from 2005. After some site-surfing I found the dev blog which is still updated so it the project is still alive.
If I find some time I will have a deeper look into those control panels and maybe write some reviews. I know there are others like Webmin which I don’t like and don’t listen here, if you know some others write a comment.
