Martyn, check out Direct Admin (www.directadmin.com) which is a reasonably priced control panel. If you want something free just to manage services on your VPS you can install webmin.

This script works pretty well for cPanel to DirectAdmin migrations: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2247

Webmin would be good if you got only their services to manage. DA is also a good option.

I still recommend cPanel, but if you really want to move to directadmin then take a look at directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2247

Reading your thread, I see that you only want to use the VPS for yourself, and cPanel is too much for you. While I still recommend cPanel as it is IMO the best control panel around, Webmin would fit your needs. It is meant for server administration, not hosting though. But that is still fine for your needs as I assume you and you only are going to run the site.
You would be able to set up sites on Webmin, MySQL, DNS, Apache, etc. So all the services that you require would be there.
If you want something more than that, DirectAdmin is the second-best choice.Last edited by bikster; 07-31-2009 at 08:19 PM.

Webmin/Virtualmin is not so bad. I was looking at that after the Kloxo debacle. I really miss lxAdmin/Kloxo a lot - very low resources and did what i wanted for my personal stuff, but at this point I can't justify the risk.
DirectAdmin is definitely cheaper than cPanel. The script mentioned above does a fairly decent job of converting stuff, at least it did when I last used it a year or two ago.

I agree I would simply use webmin for everyday server tasks.
You can also try ISPConfig 3 Its free and does much of what you are looking for such as Direct Admin, etc...
Depending on which flavor server software you are running the instructions from this page are very detailed.
If you dont have a test server to play with it then just install it in a fresh VPS first unless you are comfortable with the instructions and want to install it over your current configuration.
