I’ve been holding off on this, but think I may end up using it for media files.

Someone elses’ recommendations:

  1. You’ll need Ubuntu Server, Drupal, Webmin and Virtualmin. All are FOSS and usable out-of-the-box with large and friendly support communities. Good luck, have fun.
  2. Plesk – possibly the worst thing I’ve ever used. Convoluted backend I couldn’t hack on to extend pop-before-smtp the way I wanted.
  3. CPanel – the original but very costly 6 years ago when I last used it. Has some impressive addons
  4. Ensim DirectAdmin – Not one I’ve used personally, but I hear its ok.
  5. VHCS – Freeware. Never used it personally. But there are many OS projects and forks out there if you look hard enough
  6. Webmin (free/gpl)
