Hi all,
I've got a low-end VPS hosting several websites, and I've always used cPanel/WHM because that's what was on the providers I chose. But, it has always felt like I bit of overkill for me, and a bit resource-intensive for my little VPS, so I'm curious what other (good) options I might have?
I recently played around with a bare-bones VPS from slicehost and briefly thought about using it for my hosting. While I'm comfortable setting things up on linux I don't know a whole lot about setting up email accounts, multiple domains, etc, so this would be pretty time consuming to work through. I do periodically add/remove domains (and subdomains) so that's a definite convenience factor of cPanel.
I can't even find out a whole lot online about what parts of cPanel are really required to run. Could the service be shutdown when I don't need to be actively managing things? I suppose the backups, at least, are triggered from the service.
Thanks for any thoughts!
