  2. EHCP or Easy Hosting Control Panel is a great alternative for cPanel. I have used and implemented it.

    Google for "ehcp on ubuntu". It is very easy to install.

    Run the following commands in terminal to install ehcp:

    wget -O ehcp.tgz www.ehcp.net/ehcp_latest.tgz
tar -zxvf ehcp.tgz
cd ehcp
./install.sh

  3. Vesta CP is definitely the best choice, it is easy to install and also has great performance. I love that it uses Nginx and also SpamAssassin and fail2ban. That makes for a more secure installation, and the control panel is clean and easy to manage. I wrote a small tutorial on how to install with these features here. Note: this is for Ubuntu 14.04 but should work for most Linux distributions.

    There is a long list of free hosting panels available at the Debian Wiki, but I can't vouch for any of them myself as I haven't tried any.
