Dear All,
Most of the users are looking for low end machines and the next thing they need, is a way to manage their VMs. Personally i feel you cant beat CLI, but new users often need a simple way to manage ordinary tasks.
I am presenting the 5 most widely used and solid Control Panels for VPS management.
A. VestaCP : This is simply the best i have used. I personally prefer Vesta over other panels. Vesta has once click installation and has an awesome Mordern UI with all that you need :
- Web Server
- DNS server
- Database Server
- Mail Server
- FTP Server
- Nginx out of the box
- SSL certificates & SNI
- Wildcard support
- Configuration Templates
- DKIM support
- Fast Backups
- Easy update manager
- System Monitoring
- AntiSpam / Antivirus

E. CentOS Web Panel ( CWP ) : CWP is a new control panel for centos based servers. I have found it to be relatively slow compares to other panels. But its reliable and it works.
The CWP Includes :
- Apache Web Server (Mod Security + OWASP rules optional)
- PHP 5.4 (suPHP, SuExec + PHP version switcher)
- MySQL + phpMyAdmin
- Postfix + Dovecot + roundcube webmail (Antivirus, Spamassassin optional)
- CSF Firewall
- File System Lock (no more website hacking, all your files are locked from changes)
- Backups (optional)
- AutoFixer for server

EDIT : Another worthy mention is KloxoMR. Mustafa has invested a huge effort in Kloxo and the new products seems reliable and patched. This is special edition (fork) of Kloxo with many features not existing on Kloxo official release (6.1.12+). This fork named as Kloxo-MR (meaning 'Kloxo fork by Mustafa Ramadhan')
