You can install Webmin by using following steps on your plain server as its free of cost and it will allow you to manage your server from single control panel.

Thank you for the useful tutorial George

Webmin can be a good option for Linux users who do not wish to pay the licensing fee required for cPanel/WHM control panel as Webmin is free of cost, however, if you are willing to pay the licensing fee for a control panel with excellent features and stability, I would recommend you to choose cPanel/WHM control panel

Thank you George for sharing
Well, it seems that webmaster will prefer to go with WHM/cPanel rather then playing with Webmin.
To be honest you cannot really compare them, both have their own importance WHM/cPanel is more of an end user control panel whereas webmin is more for an administration side.
If you just want to manage your own server for your own use then Webmin seems to be a good option but if you want to offer hosting to your customers (commercial use ) then go with WHM/cPanel control for better server and hosting accounts management. Webmin is usually used to manage server rather then managing websites !!!

Webmin control panel is only recommended if you are looking forward to a control panel which will reduce some time required for server management i.e. it is favorable to consider it only if it is possible for you to manage the Linux operating system without control panel.

Hence, it is recommended that you consider cPanel/WHM control panel with the Linux server even if you have to pay some licensing fee for it as it is a better option in comparison to any other control panel for Linux
