Web Hosting and Cloud Computing Control Panels
hi dave,
yes cpanel is not free and I would recommend you to tell that user that your use virtualmin as your control panel. I would not recommend you to use cpanel at all. I think its not even possible to use that cpanel with virtualmin together perhaps I could be wrong on this. Virtualmin is great replacement for cpanel.
Configuring/troubleshooting Debian servers is always great fun
Virtualmin and cPanel are both web hosting control panels, and they both require pretty much full access to the system. It would not be possible to run both cPanel and Virtualmin on the same system...they would overwrite each others configuration (Virtualmin would handle that more gracefully than cPanel, but neither would be happy).
You might just want to find out what they plan to use cPanel for. Virtualmin probably can do it for them. Maybe better (we try to do things better, anyway). You can also import cPanel backups into Virtualmin (look in the Migrate menu) for that option; so if they want cPanel just so they can copy an existing website to your server, then you can do that with Virtualmin. No cPanel required.
