2. Graphical User
Interface
There are GUI’s that can help you with the management of a Linux server
with just installing them. You can do as much as you want in your server
with just a few clicks and all of this in your web browser, without the need of
accessing into the server command line.
We'll see a few examples
3. 01 WHM
Web Host Manager, designed for system
administrators providing full control of the
server as if you were logged into the
command line. It allows to web hosting
providers to add unlimited hosting accounts,
new technologies, applications, security, etc.
You can setup different hosting plans, according to the client
needs and server requirements for everyone. Credentials for
authentication, support sections, security, server configurations,
everything for their clients. Set reseller plans is very simple as
setting a cPanel account giving certain privileges to them.
4. 02 cPanel
cPanel is a user interface that any person
or website owner can use in order to make
and manage their website. It is mostly used
and provided by Web hosting companies to
help website owners to perform essential
tasks quickly and easily and to control
every aspect of their websites.
With cPanel you can manage users, passwords, subdomains, upload
files, create file transfer protocol (ftp) users, emails, install shopping
carts, create and delete databases, protect your directories, backups,
etc. You can install any software you need and/or your web hosting can
provide.
5. 03 Virtualmin
Virtualmin is a powerful and
flexible free web hosting control
panel for Linux a-like systems
based on Open Source web-based
systems management.
With it you can manage your virtual domains, mailboxes, databases,
applications, and the entire Linux server, from one comprehensive and easy
interface. There are also paid versions of Virtualmin depending on the number of
domains that you need, from 10 to unlimited domains and like every GUI
available, it counts with support.
6. 04 Webmin
Webmin is an Open Source web-based
interface for system administration. It works
like cPanel, you do not have full access to the
server specs, you can’t control everything but
your own folder/domain in which you are. You
can change everything within your rank of
permissions but you wont have full access to do
anything you want.
You can use it with any web browser, you can setup user accounts,
Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. It also removes the
manually edition of the linux a-like configuration of servers and
allows you to manage a system from the console or remotely.
