In this article I will tell you about one interesting free control panel which is Zpanel and I will show you how to install it on a Dedicated/VPS server with Centos 6.4.
zPanel is a php-based free control panel ( free alternative to CPanel) for windows, mac, and linux servers. The program runs on top of an Apache, MySQL, PHP stack on whichever platform is used.
