2025-04-23Hi,As a newbie, possible searching for a new home I found the following issues while looking at your software (Webmin/Virtualmin/Usermin). These are not a critisim but some feedback that might help you get more users and improve the overall experience and is meant as positive feedback only.My Background and setupI am a IT support guy who uses primarily Window but can manage to follow instructions for Linux.I run a CWP webserver at my home which has a couple of my own websites on it.I am looking at using Virtualmin because it has an active community and regular updates.Confused?When I first looked into Webmin/Virtualmin I got confused about all of the different softwares (webmin/virtualmin/usermin/cloudmin/Filemin) and when I couldnt figure it out I went looking for another package and ended up using CWP. This was the most confusing aspect of the software and their different uses only become clear after using Virtualmin for a while.Virtualmin is a Webmin module but you don't install it from Webmin.Webmin implies that it is all you need to run a webserver because of it's name, which it is, however Webmin does more than this as you can configure other server things with it, very similiar to Cockpit.Your different software are all on webmin.com except for Virtualmin which I guess is because it is now bigger than your other software.Webmin - - - - Virtualmin installable from Webmin rather than a standalone script, control by the use of the 'post installation wizard' (but make it a 1 time option if a fresh install is needed)Merging Webmin and Virtualmin is perhaps quite a suggestion but it would stop 2 separate repos being maintained.If you are going to install Webmin you might aswell install Virtualmin.Rename `Webmin` to `Servermin`For people wanting to do webhosting the name change alone will prompt them to look at Virtualmin and the benefits this brings.The new name fits better with what the software does as it allows you to configure more than a webserver, similiar features to cockpit.Get rid of the webmin.com website and move everything on to the Virtualmin websitewww.virtualmin.com/webmin and at the top
