If you prefer to manage all aspects of your Linux VPS or dedicated server from a graphical interface instead of the command line interface (CLI), Webmin might be right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#what\">What is Webmin and Why Use it?<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#features\">Webmin Features<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#vs\">Webmin Vs cPanel<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#start\">Getting Started with Webmin<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what\">What is Webmin and Why Use it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Diving deeper, the Perl-based server control panel is most suitable for unmanaged Linux servers: specifically Cloud Server Hosting or <a href=\"\/bare-metal-servers\">Bare Metal Dedicated Server<\/a> Hosting. While you <em>could<\/em> install Webmin on a server running another control panel like DirectAdmin (assuming you have root access), it would be a waste of disk space as they serve the same purpose and edit the same system files. You\u2019d just acquire more security vulnerabilities and waste system resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/webmin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Webmin<\/strong><\/a> can be installed on multiple Linux\/Unix distributions including Debian, Gentoo, and Solaris. This will relieve anyone looking to migrate from CentOS as it nears discontinuation. Alma and Rocky Linux <em>may<\/em> fill the void for those upset about the death of CentOS. But if you want to get ahead of the game and just need a stable web server, Ubuntu and Debian are safe bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Webmin is easy to navigate with a small learning curve. The dashboard visualizes CPU, RAM, and disk space stats with understandable charts. The sidebar includes a search function to easily find where to make needed changes. There\u2019s even a night mode and theme customizations to mitigate any vision related issues you might have. And of course, there\u2019s a terminal available in case you need to do anything advanced that\u2019s unavailable in the web interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-dashboard-1024x579.png\" alt=\"Webmin Dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-67440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-dashboard-1024x579.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-dashboard-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-dashboard-768x434.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-dashboard-1536x869.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-dashboard-560x317.png 560w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-dashboard.png 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"features\">Webmin Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Webmin control panel is natively stacked with essential features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BIND DNS<\/strong> server options are available for RNDC, zones, clustering, and implementing DNSSEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-bind-dns-server-1024x394.png\" alt=\"Webmin BIND DNS Server\" class=\"wp-image-67439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-bind-dns-server-1024x394.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-bind-dns-server-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-bind-dns-server-768x296.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-bind-dns-server-1536x591.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-bind-dns-server-560x216.png 560w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-bind-dns-server.png 1561w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Apache web server<\/strong> support includes managing virtual hosts for domains, installing Apache modules, and minimizing your server HTTP header for improved security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"877\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-apache-webserver.png\" alt=\"Webmin Apache Configuration\" class=\"wp-image-67435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-apache-webserver.png 877w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-apache-webserver-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-apache-webserver-768x421.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-apache-webserver-560x307.png 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 877px) 100vw, 877px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PHP<\/strong> versions and variables are configurable from the dashboard once installed from the command shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"919\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-php.png\" alt=\"Webmin PHP Configuration\" class=\"wp-image-67434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-php.png 919w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-php-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-php-768x521.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/webmin-php-560x380.png 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 919px) 100vw, 919px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Graphical file management <\/strong>makes editing, uploading, and downloading files a breeze.
