Top 11 cPanel Alternatives to Help Manage Your Websites

1

cPanel

Froxlor is free to download and use. On that basis, it beats out cPanel all day. However, the feature set is more limited, so cPanel likely takes the win there. Still, Froxlor is great for value and makes a solid cPanel alternative given the circumstances.

Kinsta

As a cPanel alternative, this makes MyKinsta stand out. What’s more, the control panel is custom-built to provide the most optimum experience when using Kinsta. Between the focused approach and UX of MyKinsta, this could make cPanel look limited in some areas.

Webmin

As with Froxlor, Webmin will suit servers where the open-source stack is king. However, given how modular Webmin is, it could be the ideal free cPanel alternative for many users.

Control Web Panel

While there is a free version of CWP (a full-featured product), you can also choose its premium edition. It’s quite affordable, both with and without support addons. Price will be a common theme throughout this article, as it’s one of cPanel’s weakest areas.

ISPConfig

As a cPanel alternative, you’re going to trade price for functionality with ISPConfig. It’s free, which is fantastic given what’s in the box, but it’s not as equipped. For a handful of sites, you won’t notice a difference, and you might even forget all about cPanel after a while.

Ajenti

However, given the modular nature of Ajenti, its excellent documentation, and the underlying code, the platform has lots going for it. You can even create custom web interfaces using the Ajenti Core framework.

DirectAdmin

You get almost all of the essential features you need for managing your servers, such as DNS administration and IP management. DirectAdmin also supports DNS clustering to help machines transfer data and includes duplicate domain protection.

Virtualmin

You’re also able to extend Virtualmin using several applications and scripts for around 100 different products. That said, integration with the cloud is already included out of the box so that you can set up cloud storage with Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Cloud, Rackspace, and more.

InterWorx

We like the simple model on display here. For a single VPS license, you pay $7.50 per month. That lets you host a near-unlimited number of domains, but you can also opt for a single server license for $20 per month. You’ll need to contact InterWorx for the exact price of bulk licenses, but they advertise that it could get as low as $5 per month for 500 or more licenses.

Vesta Control Panel

While this could seem like a drawback, it works in favor of VestaCP because the tools and functionality will feel familiar. For example, there are APIs for Ubuntu, Debian, and CentOS distros, and you can use MySQL or PostgreSQL (also with a respective choice of phpMyAdmin or phpPgAdmin).

There’s a dedicated aaPanel plugin available that implements Java and Python project managers, a PostgreSQL manager, DNS managers, and much more. Cloud storage also uses a plugin, and once activated, you can choose Amazon S3, Google Cloud, and others.
