    You have to get Virtualmin to get several "normal" functions. And the Pro Version costs!!

    I tested Vepp for my personal projest and really engoyed it. The panel itself installs an SSL certificate for every domain attached to Vepp!

    Ples has lots of functions for experineced users, but for me a regular website owner - it is too compicated and far to expensive. ISPmanager is cheap but still complicated. Vepp in its Alpha seems to be much easier, hope it will stay that simple once it is released.

    Vepp support team is so good, you may be sure that your problem (if it will take a place!) will be solved in a short time. I has an experience with Vesta and Plesk, and there all your issues are under consideration for a long long time. Support and documentation are also parts of a product.

    Great for just provisioning space and installing wordpress, though the ssl and others are available in the premium version, it works fast out of the box.
