Agreed with this.  If @OldMeister still wants to try it out, for me the best panel to use with such a small VPS is VestaCP.  It is VERY light on resources.  It is the only free panel in my experience that can work easily and freely with 512MB of RAM without any dragging.  The panel also includes fail2ban security that has been set up by default with no need to tweak it, and the script is very well supported with loads of documentation at the VestaCP Website and support forum.

Btw, VPS 10 also doesn't give us option to use Windows. And I agree, their specs will not meet this .
