Kloxo-MR is a free and open-source web hosting control panel for CentOS and Red Hat Linux distributions. It allows the host administrators to run a combination of lighttpd or Apache with djbdns or BIND, and provides a graphical interface to switch between these programs without losing data. It is also known as a good free alternative to cPanel web hosting control panel.
