Installing ISPConfig 3 Free Webhosting Panel that comes with BSD License. Here are necessary commands for Installing on Debian or Debian derivatives like Ubuntu. There is another good Free Web Hosting control panel named OpenPanel, installation process for OpenPanel was described in our previous guide Installing OpenPanel on Rackspace Cloud Server. Definitely one can use or install any web software like WordPress without installing ISPConfig 3 or any webhosting control panel. Basically that is the best way to keep the server less cluttered and we have separate video guides for installation of WordPress on CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian in that way with Apache and Nginx.

Installing ISPConfig 3 on Rackspace Cloud Server : Requirements
ISPConfig is an open source software that allows you to manage many of the settings and configurations of the server, through a special control panel and machine administration. In the previous lesson, we saw how to create the necessary environment for the installation of ISPConfig, which requires the following main components: the Nginx web server, MySQL database and some PHP libraries. At this point we are ready to proceed with an installation of ISPConfig 3, containing only the bare essentials to start the admin panel ISPConfig. In reality, we would probably also need other tools, such as an FTP server.
IspCong3 supports Debian 5 and 6, Ubuntu 8.10 “ 12.10, CentOS 5.2 “ 6.3, Fedora 10 and 12-15, OpenSuSE 11.1 “ 12.2. As usually for Debian / Ubuntu system the installation command will be apt-get install or one can use aptitude-get install. For OpenSuSE for example, the commands below will need that basic change as we have written this guide on Installing ISPConfig 3 on Rackspace Cloud Server for Debian / Ubuntu system.
