Free and open source web hosting solution alt to cPanel
Hello all,
I am looking for a free and open source web hosting solution for a planned startup company. I have used cPanel on my own hosted websites, but it turns out it's proprietary.
Can somebody please recommend a free web hosting solution for me? Basically, my potential customers right now have simple HTML+CSS websites; a few of them use PHP and MySQL.
Here's my reference.
Thanks all!

For now, I'd like to keep it simple; it just have to work. meaning, no concern for scalability yet. My preferred platform is CentOS or Debian.
Thanks!

Hmm. Actually, it's the other way around; I will be providing the web hosting service. I just need a control panel which will let them take on their websites.

Why do you need a control panel for such rudimentary services?
I think you're looking for an alternative to cPanel that is free, but has the same features, that your clients can benefit from?
GUI File "managers", phpMyAdmin, DNS, whatever...
I am not trying to be argumentative, it's just that I am intrigued by your inquiry.
So I guess some context is needed.
Subscribed with interest...

Yes, this is exactly what I'm looking for. I hope we're on the same page now?
