Compare the difference and selection between WDCP panel and AMH panel

There have been many tutorials/articles that need to be written in succession, but they all need to spend more time on drills and tests, because there are other things to do in the daytime, and today there is no updated content. Before sleeping, share an article that a user has proposed to use in VPS AMH Panel or WDCP How to select the two panels. Both panels are in Chinese VPS panel One of the products used more, of course, there are other free panels to choose from. Today, Lao Zuo shares his experience in helping users install and touch.

First, the degree of free and open source

At present, AMH has been charging fees since 5.0, and the price is very high. Because I have not used the paid products, they will not be used as a topic of evaluation, because there are problems with the system that will be officially solved for you, because you are a paid user. At present, the free version of AMH is 4.2. It should be regarded as a VPS host management panel with relatively complete functions. It is based on NGINX. The management interface and structure are relatively simple. The basic requirements for building a website can be solved.

WDCP It is a closed source free product. Even though WDCP has not been updated for more than a year, it has been patched after the discovery of security vulnerabilities at the beginning of the month, and its basic functions are relatively complete, you can choose nginx or Apache architecture.

Second, the difficulty of building the station

For novice webmasters, it may be easier to use WDCP (APACHE), mainly because the pseudo static setting is simple and the root directory is direct HTACCESS files can be implemented, while AMH panels need to upload pseudo static files. By default, there is no problem with the installation of the basic website. However, if you need to install a site in a special environment and configure auxiliary functions, you need to refer to the official documents and other user sharing tutorials. For WDCP, there are more open documents, which is related to the number of users with a long history. For AMH, there are relatively few documents, At present, AMH 5.0 is charged. Even if you go to the official forum to ask questions and solve problems, you will not be given an answer. There is no official customer service team. Secondly, AMH's user base does not have a good atmosphere of mutual assistance compared with WDCP.

Third, comparison of occupied system resources

At this point, AMH panel It is much better than WDCP. The AMH panel takes up less resources. It adopts the component system. If special functions need to be downloaded and installed in the background, the resource occupation is relatively small in the default environment. If our VPS has a small memory, it is recommended to install the AMH panel. If the memory is sufficient, you can also choose the WDCP panel according to your preference.

It can be seen from the comparison of the above figure that WDCP takes up slightly higher resources. In fact, Lao Zuo used to“ Alibaba Cloud server installation AMH panel and WDCP panel comparison evaluation "I specially shared the resource usage of the two panels in Alibaba Cloud machines.

To sum up, there is no other content to share. When using different panels in VPS, we first need to select mature ones with many users and documents, so that once we encounter problems, we can solve them by ourselves. There may also be some security risks when using the panel. If we have the ability, we'd better use the compilation and installation method, or use similar methods Llsmp one button package It may be a little difficult compared with the WEB panel at the beginning, but once we are familiar with it, you will like it.
