There are many free or commercial Linux VPS control panels on the market (such as VestaCP, Webmin, Kloxo, ISPConfig, etc.), which basically can be installed and used on Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian and other Linux distributions. CentOS Web Panel, though, is a distinctive one. For example, it is able to automatically deploy LAMP's software bundle and Varnish HTTP Cache servers.

CentOS Web Panel (CWP for short) is a free yet very powerful Linux server control panel for Linux web hostings, developed by STUDIO 4 HOST from Croatia. It will automatically install full set of LAMP services (featuring: Apache, PHP, phpMyAdmin, webmail, mailserver, etc.) on your dedicated or VPS server. As the name suggests, it is specifically designed for RPM-based Linux distributions (mainly CentOS, RHEL, CloudLinux, Scientific Linux, and so on), and can be widely used to simply configure a web hosting environment.

In CentOS Web Panel (CWP), we can implement all the functions you can see in many other control panels, such as creating websites, adding databases, DNS system, post office system, third-party plugin system, CSF firewall, file manager, script installation, and so on. Thereinto, some more attractive features include: server performance real-time display, firewall settings and data backup function. Of course, it excels in many aspects of server management, such as adjusting Apache configuration, switching PHP versions, server performance monitoring, security protection, SSL certificate management, Let's Encrypt enablement, and so on.

Although the features of CentOS Web Panel are very comprehensive and powerful, it's complex and difficult to get started with quickly, so that you have to spend some more time researching and learning about it. Anyway, CentOS Web Panel is definitely a rare free server control/management panel on CentOS. BTW, CWP is only recommended when you need a fully functional VPS control panel; while when you only need to quickly move to a new server, then we recommend you to use VestaCP instead.
