our control panels

A control panel/web hosting platform can make a huge difference to your web hosting experience. It defines how much you can get out of your web hosting package, and so we carefully pick the best of the best control panels in the industry for you, the customer.

cPanel & WHM

cPanel is a type of website management software. It is one of the most reliable and easy to use pieces of software on the net. It is commonly agreed to be the best website control panel out there - we wouldn't use it if it wasn't. It allows you to manage your website without complicated mazes to get to files and errors everywhere. When you login to it, you have a site map with images, to help you remember where certain functions are. You can manage up to every little corner of your web space with cPanel. cPanel WHM is used for resellers. It allows you to manage your Web Hosting accounts simply and without any trouble at all. The WHM part stands for Web Host Manager.

VDSmanager

Due to unforseen circumstances and a series of unfortunate events at LxLabs/HyperVM we have had to move away from the HyperVM software. We are still looking for alternatives, but temporarily so that you still have automated control of your linux VPS we have implemented VDSmanager.

VDSmanager is a Web Control Panel for management of Virtual Private Servers (VPS, VDS), which makes it possible to divide one physical server into multiple isolated virtual machines, and each one performing as an independent, stand alone-dedicated server. VDSmanager is a tool for Linux servers, which allows to set resources (CPU, RAM, disk space) quota for each VPS account. VDSmanager has proved itself to be a simple yet powerful hosting solution and has been attracting clients’ attention over the years. VDSmanager is an affordable solution that will bring your web hosting company's business to a whole new level of productivity and efficiency, never before imagined.

VPS Control Panels

Although we don't use them for the majority of our services, we give you the best choice of control panels that you can have for your VPS servers. Below is some information about them.

LxAdmin/Kloxo

Kloxo (Previously Lxadmin) is trivially the most advanced and flexible hosting platform on this planet. Kloxo HostinABox can run a full featured hosting on 15MB RAM. Kloxo is a single software that can power all areas of your hosting business, whether it is powering your entire shared hosting or simple control panel that you can sell with your VPS offering.

DirectAdmin

DirectAdmin is a graphical web-based web hosting control panel designed to make administration of websites easier. It is similar to cPanel in functionality, but is lower in price. It prides itself with its simple layout, fast speeds, automatic recovery/stability and of course the great price. It is close to cPanel in popularity, and provides a good solution for a tight budget with a need for simplicity.

Webmin

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely. It is a very basic control panel. It is not for the beginner user. It is useful for system admins who want an easy way to manage all the software running on the server, but does not provide the same simplicity and control that control panels like cPanel, DirectAdmin and LxAdmin does. It is has a relatively low resource usage (in terms of memory usage) and can help to install some useful and interesting server tools.
