vePortal (openvz control panel) - Two Thumbs Up
Over the past week I've tried out a half dozen OpenVZ control panels in a mad rush to find a HyperVM replacement. After trialing what seems like an endless amount of panels, I've settled on vePortal: http://www.veportal.com
If you've tried it in the past (like over two days ago), give it another try. The latest version is fantastic and the install was flawless on CentOS 64-bit.
The main reason I'm using it: My clients. I let a few beta members test out all of the potential panels and the majority of them all asked me to go with vePortal.
The Pros:
- It's stable and doesn't use much in terms of resources.
- It can be integrated with WHMCS (haven't tried it yet).
- Lots of updates and features.
- About the easiest panel (with the exception of WebVZ) to install.
- It's insanely cheap right now. Only $5 until July 14th.
- Glow (the developer) is easy to contact. He's happy to work on feature requests for you.
- More than one developer. Not a one man show.
The Cons:
- It's a single server panel. However, I don't really see this as a con, as I like having all of my nodes completely separate from each other.
- It could use better monitoring (for containers)... but this is being worked on.
- A file manager for clients would be nice at some point in the future.
- The developer has a bad reputation, but he actually brought it up to me. I've talked to him in detail and he is honestly devoted to vePortal.
So that's it, out of all the new HyperVM alternatives popping up, I think this is going to be the one to beat in the future. I've already decided that all of my future nodes will be running it.
And I should state that I was in no way compensated for this review. I'm doing it to help spread the word. I'd really like to see it do well, because I'm banking on it from here on out. But don't take my word for it, go get a trial license so you can test it now, that way you can jump on the $5/month deal before the 14th.
If anyone has any questions about the install or anything, let me know.

We're also testing out this panel on a node, we'll see how it goes but there are still several other panels awaiting release which are also looking like good candidates.

I just wanted to follow up on this thread to let people know that I haven't had any issues with vePortal at all. In fact, I've had a lot of questions for them lately and I don't think I've had to wait more than a few hours for a personal response from them... which is more than I can say for a few of the new panels out there, who I e-mailed days/weeks ago and still haven't heard back.

well you'll see a lot of people come out trying to replace the cheap hypervm and virtuozzo doesn't fall into the budget of most people although I agree, it's reputable and I haven't heard any nasty things about the software. Even tried out the trial myself at home pretty nice.

We use VEPortal.
We are helping them fix a lot of bugs and add new features. They seem to be developing a long nicely albeit not as fast as we'd like.
It doesn't matter what software you use as long as you have your own internal security measures. We're experienced in security matters, and secure software development etc.
While we're still testing, it does look solid thus far. It is only $5 per month. Easily removed and swapped to another panel worst case scenario. They give out free trial licenses too.

The panel doesn't install on x86 systems, we have found out today. Support for that needs to be sorted IMHO.

Yeah the auto-installer had some problems when we installed it too. We contacted them directly and got a pretty prompt reply with them willing to help though.

You may find that is VERY incorrect,
You spoke to a member of the team about getting the system installed for you, They agreed todo it however a MANUAL OpenVZ Install takes a long time, Too long for us todo with our busy schedules.
We will always try if requested to install OpenVZ, Using our Fast & Auto Installer, If that fails its then down to the customer to sort that out.
vePortal is VERY MUCH compatable with x86 Systems. It's just the installer our staff uses is primarily built for i686/i386 setups.
Edit: Didn't realize there was more...
Your slander is getting rather tiring now Jason, The person you spoke with did NOT say he/we could not be bothered todo the setup for you. We have ALOT of installs to do yes, And therefore for that reason we DO NOT offer OpenVZ Installation if the system isn't compatible with the software we use to install it. I believe you should rectify your lies.
Just for the public's view,
