Hello Everyone...Thanks to the fine people here we decided to go with RackShack.. They are a little more money but seem to have a pretty good tech support department. Much better than I have at my current Data Center.

I am currently using Plesk 2.0 on my RedHat 7.1


On my new server I was thinking about using the Free Webmin CP
but have not used it that much except to set up Cron Jobs..

What does everyone think about it?? Does it have an interface for the user to add their own email addresses? what about setting up MySQL or password protection like in Plesk??

Okay and here comes the biggie FrontPage extensions? :angry:

I know I know FP is no good but when someone wants it we have to add it :D

I thank you in advance for your thoughts on Webmin

Webmin is an excellent software for server administration. However, it was not designed to do hosting. So in your situation, you definitely want to go with plesk.

The things you mention are mostly hosting-related control, which plesk is designed for.

Thanks for the reply.

I like Plesk I just have had some trouble when people try to use FrontPage.

It seems to mess us when trying to change the passwords

Thanks
