    Try Apache with mod_perl for running the scripts, and SSH for managing the server. Use keypair SSH authentication and a strong passphrase on your key for security.

    No, this does not give you "point-and-click" server management — I doubt that any of those are actually secure. Yes, you will have to learn your way around a POSIX CLI.

      i was looking at webmin, virtualmin but seems to be leaked. it has loop holes. it cant be trusted to host good production project

    Unfortunately, many successful attacks on commercial websites are actually attacks on commonly used tools like Plesk. They also leverage the reality that many people who use these "crutches" really don't know what Plesk is actually doing. It really isn't difficult to set up a well-secured server, whether you use mod_perl or CGI. You only need to familiarize yourself with a handful of command-line tools, and SSH and maybe OpenVPN. Tutorials abound.

      ok
