If you are buying a dedicated server or a VPS, most of us require a control panel which helps to manage the server and sites hosted on it. Even if you are an experienced user, you may still want to use the control panel because for more convenience. Normally our choice is reduced to free web hosting control panels and commercial web hosting control panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. If you don’t mind about the habits and want to save some money, then you should consider installing a free control panel.
In this article I will tell you about one interesting free control panel which is Zpanel and I will show you how to install it on a Dedicated/VPS server with Centos 6x.
