There are several control panels available for Debian GNU/Linux which allow you to use a web-browser to manage virtual hosting for websites and email. If you're using one I'd love to hear why you chose it, what you like about it, and what is missing.
In the commercial world the two most popular control panels appear to be cPanel and Plesk.
In the free-software world there doesn't appear to be a clear leader amongst the many available panels. Right now I count over 25 control panels which support Debian, and I'm sure there are many more.
If you're using a control panel I'd be interested to know:
Many people, including myself, are happy to maintain their sites via the command-line, configuring each service manually. But there is a big market for a successful GUI application which non-technical users can use to maintain their own servers - and I'm surprised we don't have a clear leader yet.
