Hi DusX
For several years I have been running webservers, mail servers, primary nameservers and did manage all of them with webmin - it's really a great tool /rather a bunch of great tools). You can admin mysql, qmail (nearly) as easy as apache or bind or ftp servers... (you can even "connect" different servers for admin purposes...)
I actually have a root server with 1und1 and
never used their administration tools - the first thing I did was installing webmin, qmail and some of qmails pretty admin tools and here we go! It's really easy and straightforward.
Ok its not that pretty - but for checking in, doing something, checking out - who cares?
Enough honey. Give it a try - you will see!
Greetings
Claus
