I just installed it, and I know a couple others have too. So far, it's looking pretty nice. Curious if anyone has used it for longer than the 15 minutes I've had it installed. I believe jarland has played with it. Anyone else?

Check it out. Nice to see something different.

Fresh install on a 512MB DigitalOcean box running Debian 7, 32bit:


total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 502 402 99 0 28 288
-/+ buffers/cache: 85 416
Swap: 0 0 0


So far, pretty lightweight.

Well, it's certainly easy to setup.  Took maybe 5 minutes max, compared to the hour cPanel takes on it's first install.  I'm working on getting a few WordPress blogs setup, I was going to run then without a control panel but I've decided to give this a shot.  

+1 for supporting Debian!

The only thing I don't like so far is that it only uses nginx as a reverse proxy, but according to the forums they're working on support for nginx+PHP-FPM without Apache.   I can't find how to install SSL on the host services, through the control panel at least.

Anyone successfully using the email functionality within this?
I am.  I installed it to test the email system.  Only issue I have is with Outlook.com sending things to spam but as far as I know they do that with almost every mail that they don't have whtielisted.  Works fine with GMAIL and my other email servers.

Good to see a panel supporting debian. The settings for apache and ngix are confusing. What is the difference between the different settings like "hosting"? Domain settings are rudimental.

I tried VestaCP a couple of months back on a spare VM I had. I was impressed with their overall system, I think if we give them time to mature and they are committed in improving their control panel, VestaCP would be a great product.

Not entirely sure, half of their forum seems to be Russian.

Jarland uses it and he likes it a lot. I know he has been recommending it to people as a simple free panel.

I installed it a few weeks ago to use for a few clients who don't even use one, its a really simple and lightweight cp. I really like it but I have had to fix a few dns errors after  adding a domain or two, simple stuff that other cps like DA or cPanel just would have taken care of... I still like it and even though I have had to fix an error or two I still see no reason to switch to anything else.

But yeah, with that said, I still don't think its quite ready for prime time yet. They do Have a WHMCS Module though, which is kinda cool for a free and new cp.

I'm testing it. Easy to install in Centos and Debian, super fast.

I'm just trying to familiarize myself with the panel.
