Great article! I found your walkthrough of TinyCP super helpful it’s a clean, efficient control panel option for Linux servers. For anyone running a VPS SSD environment, having a lightweight panel like this can mean less overhead and more performance to use the full advantage of those fast drives. Thanks for the practical guide!

My guess here is that it was easier for them to work with apache. I agree that nginx would be a better option if looking for a “tiny” approach. Probably they will add it in future, since the dev team is still working on this.

Actually don’t understand the meaning of using Apache instead of Nginx on a “tiny” approach…

@Kamen, I think TinyCP is better suited for small servers, similar to Linode’s 5$ server. I don’t think overall TinyCP is better then webmin, but if you are limited on resources, you can give it a try.

On the other hand, it really does not provide more features compared to webmin. But let’s give it credit, this is a relatively new project and it’s doing pretty well so far. I am not sure if people are going to use it when they make it a paid service, considering there are better free alternatives.

@Kamen,

I don’ think TinyCP beats Webmin, because Webmin has a huge list of features then this TinyCP and also Webmin is free.
