Webserver control panel

Posted on March 15, 2021

We’re tryin to avoid the cost of a cPanel licence for low traffic website hosting to resell to our clients, don’t need email boxes, don’t need high performance databases. Looking for an alternative, maybe Direct Admin?

Thanks, i understand better now, so…

What’s the difference between: a droplet with Plesk then install Wordpress and a droplet with only Wordpress installed? (no control panel)

is that possible, or do you always need a control panel to setup databases or something else?

searched for Centos Web Panel but it doesnt show up in Marketplace, or do i download and upload the image?

did find Plesk Obsidian, free for 3 domains, any good?

most of my websites are Wordpress now.

Hi @LargeGreenBlueUrchin,

I’ll recommend CentOS web Panel. There is a paid and free version and the free version has everything needed.

Personally, I’ve used it for my projects and I can say that it’s been working perfectly every time. No big bugs or anything and for a free Panel it has A LOT of features and automated package installed. I do believe this would be the best choice if using CentOS7.

Hope that help!

Regards, KFSys
