Hello Team,
We like to shift few servers on virtualmin . Please provide the below inputs.
I would strongly recommend you just try Virtualmin GPL. It is free.
Sure. Virtualmin is a full-featured web hosting platform, running either Apache or nginx, and you can run any applications you want.
That depends. Some OSes no longer ship AWstats or Webalizer. But, if either is installed, we provide a GUI for both.
There is a Postfix GUI providing access to the queue, as well as tools for reading and searching any logs, including the Postfix logs.
Virtualmin Pro includes priority private support. That is close to being available 24 hours, but it is not guaranteed 24 hours. We are a small team of four people, all developers, all extremely experienced, spread across several time zones, so someone is usually online at any given time. We try to answer all Pro support queries the same day, usually within a couple of hours. If you follow the forum here for a while, even the public forum, you’ll see questions rarely go more than a couple of hours without someone from Virtualmin chiming in, if the question is good and necessary information is provided.
Install Virtualmin GPL. If you like it, but want some specific Pro features, buy Pro. If you don’t like it, ask for a refund within 30 days.
We support several cloud backup options.
GPL has S3…and I think that’s all, but that includes any S3 compatible service (of which there are dozens), at least, I think GPL allows arbitrary S3 services, certainly Pro does.
Pro adds Azure Blob Storage, Backblaze B2, Dropbox, Google Cloud Storage, Google Drive, and Rackspace Cloud files.
Of course. Please try Virtualmin GPL.
Yes. There are a variety of stats and monitoring features. (Pro adds several realtime monitoring features that aren’t present in GPL.)
We don’t maintain a comparison chart. But, most things you can do with any of the major control panels, you can do with all the others. Virtualmin is quite competitive in terms of features…it does some things no one else does, but maybe does other things differently or not at all (if we think it’s a bad idea or hasn’t been requested by a sufficient number paying customers to justify the cost of supporting it).
The only way you’ll know if Virtualmin works for you is to try it. Control panels are way too complicated to fit into a simple comparison chart, and anyone that tries is probably trying to mislead you. We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of lines of code developed over decades, in the case of all the major control panels.
As a user for some years now, I would recommend to simply give it a try. Setup a server and install and play around with Virtualmin. Import some websites, try backups etc. It will take some time to get used to it. At first, I was disappointed with the very simple UI and couldn’t find anything. Now I love it and it manages a server faster than any other control panel I’ve worked with so far.

Welcome to the Virtualmin Community 
I agree with the other posts, set up a server and take the GPL for a spin and try out the features.
I personally tried several different offerings before settling on Virtualmin but I have my own expectations. I was on cPanel for years prior when the host moved us to Webuzzo. That was an awful experience.
LOTS offered so there is a learning curve. Learn to use the favorites feature to reduce hunting.
Some Virtualmin videos (I don’t know these sources, just a list):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7zx4Q0jcRk (full tutorial, only 4 years old)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZLN_T6hIes (backup/restore, only 1 month old)
And videos by Virtualmin:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OENyJFI_w0Q (7 years old)
He made a mistake in this video by using site3.xyz for hostname rather then eg server.site3.xyz
P.S. But does use a site4.xyz for his first Virtual server.
I have always thought a comparison chart would be a good sales tool, there is a reasons most companies use them.
Most of the panels are gonna offer the same basics and this is gonna be a long, long list for most panels.
This could be very easy to do for Virtualmin. It does not have to be an exhaustive list.
These lists are mainly to highlight what they offer others don’t. What would you personally think should go on this list that would put VM in a better light than the competing products?
Most of the offerings I checked out before deciding on VM were free so I simply installed them and checked them out. Anywhere from the GUI to the configuration files. One VERY cPanel clone in structure had warnings about reverse engineering their compiled files. I suspect they were more lock in than proprietary.
