Installing Webmin/Virtualmin on CentOS 7

Webmin is a web-based system administration tool that allows you to manage various aspects of your server through a web interface. Virtualmin, on the other hand, is a powerful and flexible web hosting control panel that utilizes Webmin for managing virtual domains and hosting accounts on your server.

sudo yum install webmin

Once the installation is complete, you can access Webmin using your favorite web browser. Open your browser and enter the following URL:
