Lxlabs’ LxAdmin Host-InA-Box is a “feature-complete” server control panel product designed for web hosting. There are already many control panels for web hosting providers. Some are commercial, some are free, and some are open sourced/free software. What then makes LxAdmin HIB unique? Its runtime size, which claims to be only 15MB! The tiny memory footprint includes not just the control panel software itself, but also the mail server, IMAP server, POP3 server, DNS server and web server — everything ready to get you started with web hosting.

Many commercial control panels require at least 128MB to have everything up and running, and it is commonly known that cPanel won’t be happy with less than 256MB of memory. Then how did LxAdmin HIB achieve such low idle memory foot print? I was wondering about the same thing when I first heard about it, so I bought a small VPS plan and found out.
