Full Version: Why Plesk and not Webmin??
Why use plesk and not Webmin?? I personally prefer Webmin instead plesk. You have more control over your server with Webmin compared to plesk. Has anyone else used Webmin and out of those which ones still prefer plesk??
Well, first of all, Webmin is made for slightly more advanced users. Installing it isn't easy and you need to read up some tutorials and HOW-TOs.
Webmin is also unsupported by EV1, so the user is on it's own if he needs help.
Lastly, the user interface in Plesk is superior to Webmin. It has more features, is easier to use and is even nicer.

I concur with Paulius.
I have Webmin installled (side-by-side with Plesk) on a couple of servers, and there's no way in the world I would let a client use that! They would be sure to mess something up as it's a bit too powerful if you don't know what you're doing. It might be okay if it's only your own domains on the server, but still you'd better be more than a novice Sys Admin.
Long story short, I can do everything I need with Plesk and command prompt. I do a lot more in SSH than I do in Plesk myself. But my clients all like Plesk and I can be reasonably certain they can't mess things up too badly.

Yeap, here too.
And todays cPanel is the most popular. I like the reaction of people that never seen Plesk before in their life, they always comment on how nice and how organized it is.
And now, Plesk uses PHP5 so it's interface is even faster... If only Sw-soft could listen to people's suggestions.
Lastly, a bit off-topic, you guys have to see the Windows version of Plesk. It has way more features (limit CPU usage per client, bandwidth throttling by domain, purchases of extras, etc.). It's really depressing to see that Sw-soft didn't work that much on the Linux version.
