Planning server and website consolidation

I changed tactics and went with self-hosting as I’ve had a few servers lying around. This was done a Fios connection with a multiple static IP’s.

I’ve been planning on consolidating my websites down to a single windows server until recently I discovered VMware ESX hosting at xlHost. Now I’m planning to move to one esx host and install two or more virtual machines for my needs. I basically want to keep what I have now, a reseller account with cpanel/whm and a windows virtual server. I love CPanel but not there prices so I’ve started looking for an alternet solution that will give me what I need, quick setup of new websites and easy management of these websites.

The search begins

I’m currently searching for a free or inexpensive replacement for cpanel and while I’m at it I’m also looking for a windows solution that has the same features. I’d also like any solution I find to have a module or plug-in to work with awbs or whmcs

  • Although biased, I’ll still recommend Kloxo, and when we are at it, why not run Kloxo under HyperVM. You will have a single gui to rapidly deploy websites and manage your Windows and Linux virtual machines.

      Thanks, I installed it a couple of days ago and so far I Love Kloxo, I haven’t found anything I don’t like… that’s rare.
