E. CentOS Web Panel ( CWP ) : CWP is a new control panel for centos based servers. I have found it to be relatively slow compares to other panels. But its reliable and it works.

• MySQL + phpMyAdmin
• Postfix + Dovecot + roundcube webmail (Antivirus, Spamassassin optional)

• Backups (optional)
• AutoFixer for server

6. Another worthy mention is KloxoMR. Mustafa has invested a huge effort in Kloxo and the new products seems reliable and patched. This is special edition (fork) of Kloxo with many features not existing on Kloxo official release (6.1.12+). This fork named as Kloxo-MR (meaning ‘Kloxo fork by Mustafa Ramadhan’)

VestaCP has security issues. It used to be really good but better go with Webmin.

 

some are free control panel and some are reliable price control panel. and there are few control panel always they try to be at top position .among them one I started managing known as OVIpanel for VPS and dedicated servers.

Main advantages provided by OVIpanel:

• It has a smart dashboard
• provided a better overview for Admin
• It allows to create an unlimited account
• can add multiple website at same control panel
• From the file manager, you can easily upload, download and modify files on the server.

Thank you

 

Another one is APNSCP. It has some really great security.
