WEBMIN is a control panel for system administrators of both dedicated and VPS Linux servers. It is popular with super geeks who may use it for a quick access interface for remote control of their servers. I tried WEBMIN and can be corrected on this, but looks as though the control panel is more suited for dedicated servers as it ran quite slow on my VPS. If one would use it with a VPS it should have a minimum of 1 GB RAM on it. For someone with a VPS who is reasonably Linux literate particularly on the technical side of things, WEBMIN is definitely worth checking out. WEBMIN can be used by any web browser and can help one set up user accounts, Apache, DNS, firewalls, file sharing and much more.
Here is what the panel looks like:
