With the rise of control panels over the years administering a server has become less challenging for beginners in the wonderful Linux world. You have WHM/cPanel, DirectAdmin, Webmin, ISPConfig, Vesta, and other control panels that ease the server management to a level that everyone will find suitable.
On the other hand, managing a server without a control panel knows to be tricky. The server owner must have at least a basic understanding and knowledge of Linux administration and commands.
