VPS OS Software? What do you mean? Like a Control Panel?
try Virtualmin ?

You say OS software but then you mention DirectAdmin.......
DA is a control panel, OS are like CentOS, Debian, Gentoo, Windows.........

If you mean control panel, then try Webmin or LxAdmin

[Sandino]

yep. i was confused too.

Sorry, I meant control panel, such as DirectAdmin or cPanel. But I think I found some options, thanks.

I use Webmin + Virtualmin.

You mean when you get a VPS, nothing is installed on it?

[Hyperz]

^The OS is installed... But stuff like control panels, apache, php, mysql etc have to be installed after you get the VPS in most cases and depending on the distro.

[ceekeigh]

^ So you still need to pay for those right?

[snowmanrene]

it all depends on what you want.
Apache, php, MySQL and those things are free.
If you want cPanel or some other commercial control panel, then yes you still need to pay for it.
