## Notes

Virtualmin is a web hosting control panel for Linux and BSD servers. It is a module for Webmin, the web-based system administration tool, and adds hosting tools on top of it for websites, mail, DNS, databases and backups. Plugins for Virtualmin are Webmin modules too. Domain owner and reseller accounts can be given their own access.

The project is mostly written in Perl. Its download page describes an automated install script as the way to get started, and a manual installation guide covers the other route. Administration is available through a web interface, and the project can import cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin domain backups.

## Worth knowing

Because it is built on Webmin, the panel depends on that tool, and its plugins extend Webmin as well.
