What control panels have you used on a server?

I've used several control panels on servers, including cPanel, Plesk, Webmin, and DirectAdmin. cPanel features an interface that is easy to use. It makes managing websites and email easy. Plesk is versatile and works well with both Linux and Windows servers. Webmin is a great choice for those who prefer open-source software and want more control. DirectAdmin is lightweight and offers a simple but effective interface. Each has its strengths depending on the specific server needs and user preferences.
 
All the personal projects I've ever used have used cPanel for server/hosting management, and I like the feel of it (as I've become used to it, I suppose) so it works absolutely brilliantly for me.

At work, our website management uses Plesk for server management, but my duties don't often involve using it. I'm familiar enough with it to be able to perform most tasks that are needed, but sometimes I find myself getting stuck on something and needing to have a quick Google to find out how to access a certain area or perform a task. It's not too much more difficult though, I'd say.
 
I've always been most fond of cPanel. It's what I have been using for over 15 years. The increase of cost in unfortunate but it still wouldn't drive me away from cPanel.

A few months ago I purchased a VPS with WHM and 5 cPanel accounts on it, and I've learned a bunch of new things, commands, server stuff, cache, etc.

I'd never go back to shared hosting, even if it's for one website.
Bro, that has been like over a year ago :P

My favorite control panel is Terminal :)
 
I used cPanel once when we started a forum-like social network project if I remember correctly.
