goPanel works perfect with Amazon instances and Digital Ocean droplets as long as you use a Linux distribution we support. Make sure your Linux server does not have any of the services installed and you install all services from the goPanel app: migration from servers with existing services is not yet possible.

I am using a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 VM on Microsoft Azure.
GoPanel crashes often whilst trying to perform tasks, essentially rendering it too unreliable to depend on. This is a pity, as it obviously has great potential.
I've taken the matter up with the developer, and received only a few terse replies, through which he eventually indicated it might be crashing when GP has an issue connecting to the server during an operation. Which, to me, suggest it doesn't have adequate fault handling routines, because a slow or unresponsive server connection should not cause the app to crash.
I've attempted to get an update from the developer as to when he is likely to implement decent fault handling, and after a more than a month, I've heard nothing at all back.
As I paid for a license to this app, I find this rather disappointing. I can only assume he put it into the "too hard, too busy" basket.
Currently it's got most of the major web server bases covered. The one area I think it's deficient is installation/configuration of caching options. Would be nice to see support for OpCache, Redis and APC. Perhaps Varnish too, for those wanting to squeeze even more speed out of Nginx, and those how want to get a lot more speed out of Apache.
The interface is excellent. Clear and easy to use. I pleasant change to working in a bash terminal.
So my rating is 4 stars for now. Robust support for the major caching options will push that up to 5. For now, I'll have a bash (no pun intended) at implementing caching on top of what goPanel sets up on the server (I've yet to do it, but assume it will have no hitches)
Otherwise, I don't think it's fair to give it a 1/2 star.
on connection issue:
We tested the app on several Centos machines using standard PEM key files (both unprotected and passphrase-protected) and we didn't encounter any issue.
When you try to connect do you get any kind of error message?
Can you give us more details about how your server is configured? The app needs either root access or to be able to use the "sudo" command.
Did you configure your server yourself or do you use a prebuild VPS (like those provided by Digital Ocean or Amazon (EC2))? There might be a particular situation in your case that might need to be taken into account.
on ssh/key safety:
Those passwords and passhprases (along with other details and settings needed by the app to manage the server) are stored with the app's local storage (provided by Apple for all apps) on the user's Mac and as a backup on the server within a encrypted file (/etc/gopanel.conf). Initially we did have an option to request passwords when needed, but many users complained about having to enter those details every time they connect.
