Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about server compatibility, licensing, and management capabilities.

Yes. Upload a standard BIND zone file and Core Panel parses and imports every record automatically with zero manual entry required.
Core Panel supports SFTP alongside the browser-based file manager. Access depends on the site account, assigned permissions, and server configuration; verify the intended user workflow during the trial.
Supported PHP branches can be assigned per website. Review the current runtime documentation and test every application before changing its production PHP version.
Use a compatible server that meets the current installation requirements. A fresh server is the safest default because existing services, ports, packages, and configuration can conflict; validate non-production installation before migrating workloads.
All new accounts get a full 14-day free trial of the Enterprise plan with the complete feature set and no credit card required.
Start with our migration guide to inventory websites, databases, DNS, email, certificates, cron jobs, and users. Validate the complete workload on a separate server before planning cutover, and contact us when you need help reviewing the plan.
