There are various other modes too for Nginx and you can also opt for not using nginx at all for your website if you want to. But the best part is that this panel uses Nginx server as a reverse proxy and this helps in increasing the server performance as Nginx is used for caching of static files in cache mode. Also it is a barebones panel to keep things simple and it only provides the barebones functionality that we need from a web hosting control panel.

You can get an idea from the screenshot that designers of VestaCP took a minimalistic approach in design when they was designing this control panel. Vesta Control Panel provided me with a really clean and easy to use interface which was really clutter free. First of all VestaCP is extremely easy to setup on a debian and CentOS machine ( I tried VestaCP on both of them and it is very easy to setup on both, as easy as downloading a bash script and running it.). As this is a post related to VestaCP, we are going to focus on this web panel. Kloxo have a nice GUI but it is a dead project now. All these web panels have their own pros and cons, like ISPConfig have advanced features but is slower then VestaCP. I tried ISPConfig 3, Zpanel, Kloxo, Kloxo MR, VestaCP, Webmin and some other web panels to find the perfect one for my hosting needs. In my search of control panels for my VPS I wanted a clean interface to work, Email services, Backups, Database, performance and should work on 512 MB VPS without any problems. Above is a screenshot of VestaCP, the control panel on which I finally settled on.
