Setting up ISPConfig is somewhat challenging, but it can be much easier than writing DNS configuration files by hand. ISPConfig can help new Linux users configure web and e-mail faster and easier than they could without it. This makes ISPconfig a "gateway to Linux" skills. People get the end benefits of complex servers while they continue to learn about them. ISPConfig speeds up and simplifies common server administration and operation tasks, such as creating lots of new user e-mail accounts or quickly setting up lots of roots (starting folders) for new websites. Coding these changes by hand from a command prompt would take more time and effort. It would be repetitive (boring), and prone to errors. On the other hand, nobody would do that. Most large-scale installations use existing automation tools. Adapting these to the special configuration and filesystem layout of ISPConfig can require a lot of work. This is why ISPconfig is mainly targeted at new installations. |
