SolusVM

One of the most popular control panels around, SolusVM lets companies large and small manage virtual machines from one central user interface with security and ease. The SolusVM portal tailors different interfaces for administrators, resellers, and users, making it a breeze to boot, reboot, shut down, suspend, or unsuspend virtual machines.

A leading platform for server virtualization and building cloud infrastructure, VMware vSphere is an ideal, state-of-the-art solution for enterprises and large VPS providers. You’ll pay a premium — a basic, 1-year subscription with support costs $273 each year — but vSphere serves up streamlined automation, comprehensive security, a universal app platform, along with improved visibility, availability, and capacity utilization.

Virtualizor

Every action in Virtualizor has an API call, which you can use to manage anything in the management panel. Virtualizor supports the API calls in JSON, XML, and PHP serialized formats. Open-source modules for WHMCS and Blesta simplify the integration with billing systems — users can perform operations on their virtual machines without logging into Virtualizor or automatically create virtual machines as soon as payment is received.

Archipel.org

By using XMPP for all communications, Archipel doesn’t need a web service or custom protocol. With one XMPP server (Archipel recommends eJabberd), you’ll never have to refresh the user interface. You can even command your infrastructure through a chat client — yes, you can ask your virtual machine how it’s doing or to please reboot.
