VPS Management Mode

Can you do without it? or Is it absolutely vital to get the job done?

By VPS services, I mean whatever things you're running on it: Web server, databases, DNS, mail, game servers (as this seems to be the main attraction around here) etc...

Given the number of threads about those control panels laying around this forum, I would guess many are!...

So, please feel free to give your opinion and take part in the poll.

The short answer would be no, you don’t NEED a panel to manage your VPS.

The long answer would be:

It really depends. You can manage your VPS without a panel (not really that difficult, just requires a bit of experimentation and learning). It’s quite straightforward.

However, some people don’t have time to learn all of that, and hence a panel is a much better solution for them.

Admittedly, you don’t need to be a beginner to appreciate a panel. For example, I’m comfortable doing everything through the command line, yet i still use CyberPanel.

Why? You may ask. The answer is simple: 

It’s time saving considering that you can do most things by simply clicking a few buttons. And I’ve also used it as a “back door” before when something, for a reason or another, would stop working through SSH.
Thank you Post4VPS and VirMach for providing me with VPS9! But now it’s time to say farewell due to my studies.
