OpenVCP

OpenVCP is a Open-Source VServer Control Panel published under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL). OpenVCP is developed for use with Linux in combination with Linux-Vserver ( http://www.linux-vserver.org ). It provides a web-based interface to manage a whole farm of VServer hosts, build guests, control the guests, account traffic and much more.
