hello,

i'm a web-design guy who is trying out the web-hosting thing, mainly as
a hobby to start. i'm setting up a linux server to start out, and was
wondering if anyone had comments or experience with Control Panel
software.

I'll probably be starting purchasing licences for 20-40 websites. I'm
familiar with CPanelX and Vdeck; both seem pretty simple with a decent
user interface. I've been recommended another called "PLESK" which I
have no experience with but it looks pretty spiffy.

any seasoned users out there with comments to share?

thanks,

SEZ!

Hi Sez,

I have used DirectAdmin (www.directadmin.com) and found it to be very good.

The support i have had from them is second to none.

Plesk is popular.
I think there is also one called ensim although i have never seen it.
CPanel is a very popular one too.

My personal favourite is DA though. Just give it a clean linux box and it
installs the web server, mail server, etc and is up and running in no time.

The user interface is very simple and easy to use.

Hope this helps.
