Gus,
Are you familiar with Cpanel or Plesk?
I didn't like the WinAdmin DNS tool, it was to clumbsy. Maybe these would be
better?

Are you looking for something to make life easier on your not-so-technical
staff, or are you looking to expand into full-service Web/email hosting?
If you control the servers, and only your staff needs to set these things
up, either use Red Hat's built-in tools (assuming that's your distro of
choice -- most other Linux distributions have something similar, except
maybe Slackware), or perhaps Webmin. (It used to be too clunky for my
taste but I haven't looked at it in several years.)
If you're looking to let customers manage their own domain names and FTP
logins and DNS and so on, you'll probably want to spend a few bucks on a
more comprehensive system like Plesk or cPanel. I've worked with Plesk
quite a bit, and it has a fairly easy interface (assuming you're grounded
in what all this stuff does), and is generally pretty secure. On a
shared server, security probably should be your most important concern,
overriding everything else, IMO.
A bit more detail on what you're looking for will be helpful. What do you
want to do, who will be doing it, and what kind of budget do you have?
