    Easy to install, easy to set it up and get your server going. Especialy for Linux users it is just so damn easy to download & install and proceed with web GUI.

    Tons of options within web based GUI for your server management.

    Web GUI looks awesome

    Great for multiple servers with multiple users.

    Overall 10/10, only problem I found was that few weeks ago there was a blackout and server rebooted and entire CraftyController crashed.
