Hello to all,
First of all i am new to vestacp so i do not have much knowledge about this.
I have worked a lot on other control panels like cPanel, Plesk, etc. but never used Vestcp.
What are the features it have over other and how friendly it's UI?
Is there any demo link to use?

If it is for personal server management and you are not into hardcore reselling of hosting, VestaCP is absolutely a good fit... and it is free!!!
However, the likes/dislikes are very subjective and depends on how much/ what all you expect from the panel. Many acquainted cPanel/Plesk users brag and complain lack of support and management features in VestaCP but seasoned admins and people who love to learn and improvise always find VestaCP performing better and more organized than the bloated cPanel/Plesk.

Best way is to get a small low cost VPS, install VestaCP and give it a thorough study and evaluation for a month or so. Again, keep in mind it is free software and you need to learn a bit about Linux to efficiently manage and troubleshoot. So come with an open mind.

Two key features that drew me to VestaCP were

* the fact that it does the nginx + apache config out of the box and
* Support for letsencrypt (although a lot of control panels are now offering this, as they should)
