I'm searching for free VPS control panel options since cPanel is too pricey for my budget. I need something that is quick and secure—no need for email functionality, just the ability to add new sites or domains, along with automatic SSL, PHP, and MySQL support. I've come across a few options: Cloudpanel, Fast Panel, HestiaCP, and Cyberpanel. Which one do you think is the best?

I don't work much with PHP, but if you're interested in JavaScript, I really like Coolify—it’s another solid choice.
I'd recommend Keyhelp. It's pretty underrated, easy to set up, and offers a ton of options for being free!
I've used CloudPanel and it works really well! It's great for performance and security without all the extra stuff.
I agree! It really shines when you don't need email features.
If you're going with CloudPanel, it’s a cleaner option for security. It’s built for PHP and really simplifies SSL and database setups.
You might want to check out ISPconfig—I've been using it for seven years now, and it's completely free and open-source.
While not free, you should consider Runcloud too; it offers great features if you ever want to explore paid options.
It does look a lot like WHM and cPanel, which is a huge plus!
