We're using Webmin for years now on all of our ca. 30 X-machines (Linux of all flavours, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS X) and never had any problems with it. If you know how to use the utilities here you can save a lot of time in administrating your systems. Some modules dont' work with all systems, but in most cases these modules won't be installed at all if they're not made for the underlaying system.
Of course PLESK ist much more professional (I use it, too), but in some cases very limited, so I installed Webmin parallel to PLESK:-)

Do not try to use Webmin for live websites that use anything beyond simple programming or HTML! I am a web developer and Unix-like systems (Unix, Linux, OS X, etc.) administrator. I have had nothing but trouble on all systems on which Webmin is installed. Some problems I have had even with this "upgrade": Webmin and module upgrades removing existing modules, log rotation breaking and becoming un-reparable for no apparent reason (just installed Webmin upgrade, tried to delete all log rotations and got an error about a missing Perl file), failed upgrades and module installations, miscellaneous changes to application (Apache, FTP) configuration, crashes requiring a hardware restart (call the ISP), etc. etc. etc. Webmin is FREE and is meant for a website on that kind of budget. If you want security, ease of use and RELIABILITY, use WHM/CPanel. It costs money, but you'll get it back in saved time and headaches.

I own my server, pay the co-lo bills, and do all the administration. Webmin is a time saver for systems administration. SInce I don't have OPM to play with so I have to keep costs down. I have used Webmin for 6-7 years. I just replaced a box that had over 3.5 yrs. of continuous uptime and the only time I ever restarted the Webmin miniserv daemon was for Webmin upgrades. Webmin runs a small HTTP server on the obscure port of your choice (that's how you access it) and it has a default module to configure Apache, but otherwise it has nothing whatsoever to do with the HTTP server.
If you're like me and compile a lot of your apps from source then you may need to change some of the module configuration defaults.
