This is the thread for the best control panel out there. IT's free, open source and just works. Offers thousands of features, a root shell and a file manager. It offers clusters also.

OK Fine. Do you have some more information about this control panel?

Webmin is my favourite in open source panels so nope!

Hello,

I think he's pertaining to this cpanel (kloxo)...
http://lxcenter.org/software/kloxo

Below is the demo link:
http://demo.kloxo.com:7778/

I tried navigating to it and it looks ok... though at first its a bit too confusing in a way there are too many small icons which i think better if group/categorized accordingly..

Changing the theme is not allowed in the demo so im not that sure if there are themes to be used to make the user experience better...

Thanks!

Kloxo actually may be the leading one from the open source panels. I knew few companies which been using it and had no issues most of the time with that panel. Its just works and does it's job.

When it comes to the open source control panel then one thing need to be said Webmin is the best one among all. Kloxo is a good option and in terms of features & performance it seems pretty competitive solution.

Anyway, here is the list of Kloxo features:

* Distributed Architecture
* Ability to move applications from one server to another on the fly
* IDS (Intrusion Detection System)
* Backup and Restore
* Mail server
* Webmail, answering machine …
* Statistics (web, bandwidth …)
* Installer applications (125 applications possible)
* Management of domain names
* Management of databases
* Incident Management System (ticketing)

AS for free kloxo no doubts is the best

I am from the kloxo support team i do their irc support the most

we have got a lot of people using kloxo and helping with it

Yes, it's for for a reason. its full of security holes! I don't suggest using it as a hosting platform for clients!

I'm fond of it, though I prefer cPanel for production environments, simply because it is more secure.

Kloxo is not good enough to run on a production server. It has very good GUI but its still need more bugs to be fixed.

I wouldn't say it's the best as there have been many bugs with Kloxo in its recent releases. I love OpenPanel, but Kloxo would be the best control panel for a hosting company.

I would tend to agree with VPS6.NET, cPanel is the best when you have paid clients simply because it's the most familiar. I wouldn't say cPanel is perfect either.

First Slow control panel compared to other available on web. Second, not safe enough

i have kloxo on a server that is workable although the server is not a production server with clients on as all the server does is have boonex RMS (red5) on it, which i just give the rms IP to clients to add to their dolphin sites on my production servers.
As a production control panel i would have to say its too cluttered and complicated for newbie users, so i would rather pay the $15 to have cpanel which everyone is familiar with and if a host cannot cover the extra $15 then they are in the wrong business
