Control Panel which is best for me ?

Posted on January 27, 2014

Hello,

I know this question has been asked many times but there is always lots of options.

I am going to be running two Wordpress websites on 2 domains and i need a control panel to manage these through a control panel as i find them the easiest to use. I am also going to be using this droplet for email address for both domains.

Which Control panel is the best for me?

Thanks Cameron

I would recommend against a control panel, as it simply adds (i) another point of failure and (ii) something else to learn. I would agree with @Alex that sticking with the command line is the better approach. <br> <br>In addition, WordPress works best with Nginx. Some control panels only support Apache.

If I go with command line how easy is it to set up domains, sub domains, email accounts ? <br> <br>And would I need to install something do that I can have webmail?
