VHCS
web-cp is an Open Source solution taking up the torch where web://cp stopped and is a direct continuation of that project. Like the original this is written in php and so should put little additional stress on a server. This might be good for you if your server is a little lacking in the power needed to run piles of additional software.
Unlike Cpanel it operates a four layer model allowing resellers and a more granular user system with a CP per user for email access, a CP for domain control, a CP for resellers and a server CP. All this information is available on the website and I have not tested it out myself.
However, the last release was made at the very end of 2005 and although "nightly builds" take place nothing more has been released. This could be because the last release was very good and development takes it's time or it could be that there is a lack of activity of any significant nature. The bug tracker is as active as ever so I'm guessing that new releases are not a priority for the team. If anyone has more information about the status of the project please let us know.
Suggest me more so i can update this post .
