"WordPress + LAMP + HHVM + Webmin" Package Powered by SAIN3 (HVM)
Sain3 | 4.4.2-2Linux/Unix, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Really bugged
Don't use, doesn't even start up properly. Better try a single WordPress application! After deploy and IP assign features and resources aren't properly configure, doesn't worth endless days of manual configurations.

Terrible - Unstable, Unreliable, poorly configured - do not use for website of any kind.
Was initially attracted to these "Dongguan SainStore" LAMP stacks because of ease of deployment/setup - assuming that being such a simple stack, there would be no issues out of the box for a small scale production site - but after using both this and the earlier "Dongguan SainStore" versions (which were promptly discontinued, with no direct upgrade path just a recommendation to try the new version), I am writing this review to forewarn any potential users about how poorly configured these AMIs are. Initial set up was all fine, but even the most basic servers with virtually no traffic had repeated issues - crashes, and averaged downtime around 30%. Had to move all sites off these instances, wasted a lot of time and credibility. Absolutely NO customer support, attempted through multiple channels - even reaching out directly via multiple social media channels. very obvious after using this and other LAMP stacks from this vendor that the vendor has little experience with the platforms they are providing - upon closer inspection the AMIs themselves have "test" and "test2" in their name, so joke is on the buyer - in short, DO NOT RISK IN THE VERY LEAST YOUR TIME, MUCH LESS AN ACTUAL WEBSITE BY USING THIS VENDOR.
Works fine for basic usage
It works really well as you get a basic Wordpress install ready to go in less than 10 minutes, but when you try to go deep it is hard to make it work. I have been trying for hours to simply upload some files to the wp-content folder but it has been impossible. Webmin is not the simplest control panel for a server but at least it's free.
