Most of the people want to have a website, but having one means managing a server so they think that managing it can be painful and costly and they fear about it. Let me tell you that there are Graphical User Interfaces (GUI’s) that can help you with the management of a Linux server with just installing them. You can do as much as you want on your server with just a few clicks and all of this in your web browser, no need to access the server command line.
Here are a few examples:
Web Host Manager, designed for system administrators providing full control of the server as if you were logged into the command line. It allows to web hosting providers to add unlimited hosting accounts, new technologies, applications, security, etc.
WHM allows to the host provider basically the same functions as it was a cPanel but with full system access to it. Credentials for authentication, support sections, security, server configurations, everything for their clients. They can set up different hosting plans, according to the client needs and server requirements for everyone. Set reseller plans is very simple as setting a cPanel account giving certain privileges to them.

cPanel is a user interface that any person or website owner can use in order to make and manage their website. It is mostly used and provided by Web hosting companies to help website owners perform essential tasks quickly and easily and control every aspect of their websites.
With cPanel you can manage users, passwords, subdomains, upload files, create FTP users, emails, install shopping carts, create and delete databases,protect your directories, backups, etc.Pretty much you can install any software you need and/or your web hosting can provide.
Cpanel Domain Owner Interface
Virtualmin is a powerful and flexible free web hosting control panel for Linux a-like systems based on Open Source web-based systems management. There you can manage your virtual domains, mailboxes, databases, applications, and the entire Linux server, from one comprehensive and easy interface.
There are also paid versions of Virtualmin depending on the number of domains that you need, from 10 to unlimited domains and like every GUI available, it counts with support.
Virtualmin User interface
Webmin is an Open Source web-based interface for system administration. You can use it with any web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. It also removes the manual edition of the Linux a-like configuration of servers and allows you to manage a system from the console or remotely.
It works like cPanel, you do not have full access to the server specs, you can’t control everything but your own folder/domain in which you are. You can change everything within your rank of permissions but you won’t have full access to do anything you want.
