Virtualmin is great.

It was hard to install the first time I used it, but I didn't use the install script. It was easier when I tried it again with the script.

I was used to cpanel, so it was kinda confusing at first, but now it works great. With Webmin is does a lot more than cpanel, and free is always good. I've still got one cpanel server, but I'm going to retire it and go all virtualmin soon. I've also gotten better support for virtualmin than cpanel, even though I haven't bought the commercial version.

I like being able to edit configuration files by hand when I want to without it breaking the next time something is changed in the control panel.

Definitely recommend virtualmin.

yes, they added account plans a while ago, and its easy to use those. Server Templates are used for more custom stuff, and they can be harder to understand, but you can really customize things in ways that have to be done by hand in cpanel. It can customize the apache codes and DNS and pretty much everything.

You should just try it, if you have questions I'll try to help. They ahve forums, too.
