Webmin
by Jamie Cameron
A web-based system configuration tool for Unix-like systems
Webmin is a system administration interface that can be accessed via a web browser. The program allows you to create user accounts, manage the Apache server, edit DNS records, set up access to files, etc. Webmin is a simple web server equipped with a set of CGI programs. Webmin uses standard Perl modules in its work. A small disadvantage of the program is its limited functionality on Windows systems, where some used Webmin servers (Sendmail, Samba) are not available.

If you want to make things easier then hesitate to use WEBMIN. Everyone can setup multiple website or domains. It can't be hacked for years. Its a strongly rated and must used tool for LINUX users. Very useful in UNIX administration.

I recently used Webmin for managing my server. It was a great experience. The interface is simple and intuitive, so I quickly understood how to use it. It made configuring my server easy and fast. I also liked that there is a wide array of modules to choose from, so I could expand the functionality of the server. I found the documentation and support to be very helpful. The Webmin dashboard is full of useful information and can be customized to my needs. I had no problem with the software or any of its features. All in all, Webmin was a great tool.

Webmin is an ok software, but it could be a litle more intuitive, and in my experience ot can be quite buggy at times.
