Hey, so I recently got a VPS from Linode and I plan to make a website with it. During my research, I started hearing the words “control panel”, “Cpanel” and “Hestia” being thrown around.

I guess I should start by saying what is a control panel exactly and if I need one, which one would be the best for my use case? I'm making a personal website to put my portfolio on.

Edit: Thanks for all the help guys! I ended up going with CyberPanel. Simple, and nice UI. It also has everything I need. Again, thanks!
I like wordops, but it is command-line only, and may not be what you're looking for (if you need one with a graphical interface)
