I would say the best free control panel is CentOS website panel.

What about the security of CentOS and how about its features? Does it offer both free and paid version?

If I want to install it on my VPS then it's complex or not? and how to install it?

It is not difficult to install CWP and took you around 20 minutes for installing this panel.

To install CWP you need to a VPS or dedicated server with sytem CentOS 6.4+ and 512MB of RAM. You can choose VPS hosting companies on this forum.

Start installing, you just need 4 these commands.

cd /usr/local/src
yum install wget unzip -y
wget http://dl1.centos-webpanel.com/files/cwp-latest.sh
sh cwp-latest.sh

After the installation is complete, it will show your MySQL Root Password and root account. You need to save these information for using.

Hope it helps!

Centos web panel and a zpanel are the best for free solutions. tried centos before it's good but of course not like cpanel/whm
and about zpanel read some articles about they having a problem with mail setup i prefer centos .

centos web panel is pretty good, it's actually very stable compared to other free options. You can also take a look at kloxo MR or Webmin/Virtualmin. All are pretty good options with a vide variety of options available to you. Although them being free means a bit of compromise for support

Try Kloxo, just Google it, I've used many years ago, it really easy and powerful tool to use. You should try it.

I have not ever tried Kloxo before, can I make my websites online after installed it?

This is a free and power tool, you should do some research before using it. I can not guide you step by step because it has many functions and problems.
Try search: https://www.google.com/#q=how+to+use+kloxo, you can find many useful articles about this and just follow them.
Hope this help.

PLEASE guys, if you're going to recommend something,
at least take the time to provide a link as well... even
if just a Google search results link... It takes just a few
moments, if that...

Avoid KLOXO, nothing works on their website and the control panel is like ages ago.
Why would anyone suggest a control panel that uses centos 5...huh!!!

Your best option is CENTOS WEBSITE PANEL. Always releasing new updates and it looks very promising.

Needing free panel to decrease cost for paid panels on my hosting. I am hosting PHP sites and I think it is good to have a free hosting panel for them.

VestaCP comes built-in with Apache and Nginx reverse proxy pre-configured, so saves a lot of front work. It's also very easy to use. They have a module for WHMCS, we don't use it ourselves for our hosting services but I always use it if I'm setting up a server and need a panel for myself (being lazy).

As per my personal experience. I would recommend you to use centos-webpanel.
This panel comes with awesome features and it has all the basic features to manage a website.
centos-webpanel.com check CWP features on the given link.
