Hello,

Our VPS's run on Windows XP, now I have a client that wants to run a webhost from it. Are there any (free) control panels that would work?

To run a webhost - well you might be looking a simple one, lots of work no easy ways, don't know if there is one for free - especially for XP, server OS's maybe.

Change the OS to a server version, not a client/user system.

I don't know anything about linux thats why we run on XP templates. I have seen zpanel which kind of works.

Well, suppose that you will be satisfied using Plesk control panel!

Good luck!

Plesk is certainly not free.

Plesk is pretty expensive. :(

WebsitePanel might work. http://sourceforge.net/projects/websitepanel/

But I think that it will be nice to pay some extra dollars for reliability and pretty good control panel in order to make your work easier.

Thats true, but as my client is asking for a free or cheap solution, that won't be an option.

Did you take a look at WebsitePanel? It's for Windows Server but might work on XP. I'd suggest offering Windows Server 2003/2008 as this would make life much easier for your clients when they want to offer hosting.

I believe that you can try to do a search via Google on all possible FREE Windows control panels..
Good luck!

At the moment my client is trying http://www.zpanel.co.uk which seems to work and is free.

Do you run a hosting company sander_k?

Your linking to dehost.org and I'm a bit concerned that if your not them then the blurry awards might put you and them in a bad light.

Yes I am running a hosting company, but I am not a webhost. I am a game host that does a bit of webhosting on the side.
We run our webhosting on cPanel tho.

I got one client that runs GTA San Andreas Multi Player on a Windows XP VPS with us that also wanted to run his website and that of some friends of the same VPS.
That is why I asked :)

I recommend simple Control panel, it is totally free.

For Windows XP, WAMPP AND XAMPP are two good control panels, with them you can install apache with php 5 and star uploading your website. Its quiet simple...
