   Webmin vs cPanel Comments

   Top Positive Comment by idlesHand · Aug 30, 2017

   Very powerful and flexible control panel for servers and vps. If you need to provide access to say web-hosting modules to a non-linux user than you can do so with granular access permissions so they can only break apache and not the ssh. ;-)

   closer alternative is cloudmin or virtualmin - and these two are now free.

   Positive comment by Nasch Dax · Jan 30, 2024

   I would not ever touch webmin again because once it is installed and you start really using it you will constantly miss functions. just google Webmin+docker and you'll see how it is not possible to integrate while it would have been no problem in virtualmin. Once webmin is installed you can NOT install virtualmin. but if you install virtualmin you have that and everything webmin. so unless you intend to trash the server later anyways you should absolute not ever use webmin.

   The logic and overall UX is much friendly comparing to traditional control panels. I got my server ready for uploading a website in 5 minutes! Domains, email boxes, ssl certificates is a dream of newbie.

   Positive comment by Guest · Apr 3, 2020

   Easy to use. Up to 5 clicks for website import and it's really cheap even with DO server

   Positive comment by John Wassen · Apr 8, 2019

   More regular updates. Better support. Not as complicated as Cpanel
