I think "pamper" might be looking at it the wrong way. Other providers do provide nice click interfaces, but compared to slicehost, they are very limited. I would say slicehost pampers their customers with their fantastic service and unlimited possibilities.

On Slicehost you can run Virtualmin which is a solid step up from most nice click interfaces

Do you have any suggestion on a free control panel to try on SliceHost?

Thank you! I didn't realize that virtualmin has an opensource mode

Debian is definitely the most popular OS on slicehost among posters here. Virtualmin works on Debian and also on CentOs

By pamper I meant "hide the nitty gritty details of setting up a server from scratch".

For me great service is a must. Unlimited possibilities is why I moved to slicehost.
