Taking The Pain out of Managing Your Server
One of the most daunting aspects of server management that often scares and confuses people is the “command line” this is the black screen you see when you first SSH into your server. Being able to manage your server via the command line is a great skill to have but like most skills takes time to learn and master.
One of the best ways to circumnavigate this issue is to simple install a graphical user interface on the server. What this control panel allows you to do is to more easily manage your server via a more user friendly control panel.
One such control panel that we have pre-installed on our centos virtual servers is a control panel called Virtualmin.
Virtualmin as described via their website:
Virtualmin is a powerful and flexible web server control panel based on the well-known Open Source web-based systems management GUI, Webmin. Manage your virtual domains, mailboxes, databases, applications, and the entire server, from one comprehensive and friendly interface.
Virtualmin is the best opensource web control panel out there today , the range of functionality is immense and yet even for less experienced sys admins very easy to understand and follow, and best of all its free and constantly updated.
You can play around with a demo of virtualmin via the virtualmin website here:
