What are the differences between Vestacp vs Ajenti?

Namerie · Jan 21, 2017

On a previous post of mine I asked about Vestacp vs Cpanel and learned some of the differences. One was that Cpanel is a paid control panel. Now I am curious about 2 free control panels and their differences. I am especially interested in the differences for someone new to VPS setup.

So when comparing Vestacp vs Ajenti, what are the differences between these 2 free control panel options?

I'm gathering information for use on my first VPS which is soon to come if that makes any difference.

Without going too much into details, VestaCP is much more beginner-friendly compared to Ajenti. It has a better user-interface and it's made for beginners. Ajenti is more developer-friendly with much more options for configuring and maintaining your server, but it's not really beginner-friendly.

BTW, since you are looking at free options, have you looked at ISPConfig, Webmin, CentminMod and Floxlor?

Don't know if it would be of interest to you, but you can also check out EasyEngine.

What do you need out of a control panel? Setting up domains/FTP/emails? Those basic tasks can be done with any control panel, so you just need to look at their demos and get the one that looks the best to you.

Hello,

I would recommend cPanel due to its easy interface for clients.
Yes, it is paid, but it's very worth it at the end.
If you still want to go with vestapanel, I recommend finding tutorials online, or find someone with knowledge with the panel

As far as i know, Ajenti is completely built using Python, and some say (i've never tried it myself), that makes them much more lightweight & faster than other panels. I can believe that to some extent because multiple benchmark have proven that Python have better performance than PHP, although it still depends on the implementation.

No doubt Vestacp is a good control panel if you want to have a good free one.
I have never used Ajenti, just knowing it through this thread
Does Ajenti have similar function to host websites as Vestacp? did any one use it?

Vestacp and Ajenti both work great on VM servers

What are the differences between Vestacp vs Ajenti?
