Which server control panel is better?

[Rose]

I've only used cPanel, sooo that gets my vote by default.

cPanel is the way to go. I've used them all, and by far cPanel is best. At least for me. Obviously, having no cPanel is ideal as that frees up the most memory and space, but if you have to have one, get cPanel.

I don't even use the cPanel control panel much - I just like their extra scripts and the way they update server software easily. It also comes with its own service monitoring scripts, and installations scripts for most things. It also has remote MySQL built-in, which is very easy to setup. You can also do DNS clustering easily.

The downside of cPanel is that it's over-supply of services. I typically shut down 90% of all processes and services it provides as I don't need them.

As for security, that's only if you don't update to the latest secure versions. As updates are automated anyway, that should not be a problem.

I've used Ensim and CPanel - CPanel is better, IMO, for speed and actual ease of use, but honestly, I don't mind Ensim...

Ensim Pro is nice
CPanel is nice as well, good for beginners.
I've been working with HELM core and H-Sphere core at the NOC which I work part-time at.

I've used cPanel and Ensim but I actually like both of them. cPanel is a little bit easier and faster to use but both are good tools.

Not only is it easier to use, but it usually has more functions.

cPanel is for lazy people who can't be bothered looking up or reading documentation on how to do things themselves

Not for lazy people at all, its for busy people, if i had a line of servers i wouldnt want to go and run a ton of updates on serveral servers, recompiling apache php mysql every time there is an update on every box could become very time consuming, instead i can just click a few buttons or run a script in ssh and bam, its all done for me.

True, but I was actually referring to the user end with all the Fantastico and htaccess password directory functions
