I'm looking for a nice Open Source web hosting Control Panel.
Is anybody using VHCS with Centos4?
Any other suggestions for good control panels?
We'd really prefer a panel with a MySQL backend for user settings and such.

Hi Bob!
Thanx for the VHCS tip; I'm going to install it on my test server and I'll post back the results.
When we started up, there was no decent OS control panel. After much testing, we settled on DirectAdmin (www.directadmin.com) and have never looked back. It is a commercial product, but the unlimited license is only $299 and the product is well supported and works under CentOS. Additionally, it utilizes a plugin system with one of the better ones being "Installatron". This plugin allows your customers to painlessly install around 30 OS software packages.
If you have a revenue stream, I wholeheartedly recommend looking at this product. It really leaves Cpanel and the likes in the dust.
Hava great weekend all! cya, TR

What do you base that statement on for directadmin.com?
I'd really like to hear more about your thoughts on the subject here, as I have used all of these control panels (except VHCS, which looks interesting), and found directadmin kind of so-so.

Hi Jonathan!
Just to preface: the statements here and in my original post are my opinion only and based on what I've seen and opinions/observations of others.
My fiance is involved in the graphics community; primarily "pixelling". She runs hosting for other folks in the community and is a member of many boards and forums. There are dozens of these folks hosting and hawking their wares on sites all over, backended primarily by Cpanel. In talking to these folks, the Cpanel complaint stream is almost endless. Generally, the issues are with stablility (quite often while trying to work with their sites, they end up staring at Cpanel generated error pages), and with things going missing. Files being lost or mangled, that sort of thing...
Anyone who has moved to my fiance's hosting simply loves DirectAdmin, the functionality and stability. From an admin point of view, we love it to. IMHO, the bottom line is stability and ease in "getting the job done" which DA does quite nicely for us.
Hope this clears things a bit! cya, TR
