Keyhelp - best control panel
Posted: Fri 3. Jan 2020, 06:12
Hello all at Keyhelp!
Since dumping cPanel a few months ago (due to extreme licensing cost increase), I then tried all the available free web control panels, and eventually found Keyhelp.
These control panels all failed me, except for Keyhelp. Each had its own strange way of doing things - executing commands in the background that I was unaware of, and not notified by the interface. There were problems with email, user home directories, etc. because they had such a strange and non-standard way of doing things, which constantly forced me to resort to command line to make anything work properly. What's the point of a control panel if most of the tasks need a terminal?
Then on a forum I saw the mention of Keyhelp and decided to give it a try. What a relief, like a cool beer on a hot day!
Keyhelp is by far the best control panel available, even better than cPanel I think. cPanel has its own problems that creep in, and there were times that it failed me especially after major upgrades.
Keyhelp has been built with good German engineering philosophy, keeping things simple as possible for the user, while having all the expected features of a capable web server, AND sensible default configurations! Once installed, the administrator can quickly and easily setup mostly through the Keyhelp interface, with very few custom commands required (I did use a few). Adding domains, email addresses, etc. is so easy on Keyhelp, and everything works!
I have been using Keyhelp for a month or so, and never been happier with a control panel.
THANKYOU all Keyhelp crew!!
The only concern I have going forward, is the complexity of the backup/restore process (as I read it in this forum). Most things can be fixed on a server, but the big problem arrives when something unexpected occurs - this could be a hardware fault, bad upgrade, a host going out of business, etc. We are then left with a backup, that will take some work to restore. Above all other suggested features for Keyhelp, in my view, we should have a restore feature. Having an automated script (or even partially automated, with user input) to restore the backup, should be a high priority.
I love Keyhelp.
Thanks again...
