Recommendations for a free/cheap server management tool? (Alternatives to Moss.sh)

[avosim1]

Hey guys. I have a server on Cloudfanatic (formerly known as Servercheap). Right now I'm managing this server on the free plan of Moss.sh. There I can easily install WordPress on my domains and create and connect databases. It's all great, no problems with it, but it seems like Moss is not active anymore, the newest supported PHP is 7.4, no updates on their social media, etc. So I'd like to switch, and looking for alternatives. Any recommendations? Thanks!

My favorite ones are:

1. Centminmod Which is an awesome script for managing a server through ssh command prompt, with all the top goodies like nginx, php-fpm, redis, mariadb, let's encrypt (free ssl) optimized perfectly! Also, it's pretty secure and constantly updated. Check their forum or github if you have any questions.

2. CyberPanel That's based on LiteSpeed. It has a simple but effective web panel for managing sites and installing WP. It's pretty AWESOME for WordPress or any other CMS script for it's performance benefits. Using the LiteSpeed Cache you will see the miracle happening in front of your eyes.

Both of them are free and pretty easy to install and manage

I would recommend CyberPanel. It's a powerful and user-friendly web hosting control panel that is specifically designed for use with the LiteSpeed web server. With CyberPanel, you can easily install and manage WordPress sites, set up databases, and much more.

Additionally, CyberPanel is regularly updated and has an active community of users and developers, so you can expect ongoing support and development.
The only problem I face on CyberPanel is a little bit of navigation and UI problems, but nothing with performance.

litespeed is not Free. instead OpenLiteSpeed is the free alternative.

litespeed is not Free. instead OpenLiteSpeed is the free alternative.

Partially correct, you can use LiteSpeed Webserver, but you can only host 1 domain (or/with multiple sub-domains, ex. wp network) on a small VPS/Dedi with 2GB or less RAM, free for lifetime.

If, though, you want to host multiple domains and want to use a more powerful VPS/Dedi then, yeah, you should go for OpenLiteSpeed.
