Who this is for
For developers, agencies, and hosting operators who want to manage their own virtual private server through a browser while keeping infrastructure choice and root-level ownership.
One operational workspace
Manage websites, files, DNS, email, SSL, databases, backups, cron jobs, and server services from the same panel.
Modern application runtimes
Host supported PHP, Node.js, Python, and static applications behind Nginx on the same VPS.
VPS health visibility
Review resource usage, service state, logs, monitoring, and alerts before capacity problems become outages.
Concrete deployment example
Launch a multi-site VPS
An agency can install Core Panel on a compatible clean VPS, add separate websites and databases, connect DNS, issue certificates, and give operators scoped access without purchasing licenses per account.
- Choose CPU, memory, storage, and network capacity for measured workloads.
- Harden provider access, firewall rules, SSH, updates, and recovery paths.
- Test backups and a full restore outside the source VPS before launch.
A safer rollout
Test the complete workflow
Use a non-production server first. Confirm application requirements, resource capacity, security controls, and recovery before changing live traffic.
- 1Provision a compatible clean Linux VPS and confirm the installation prerequisites.
- 2Install Core Panel, secure administrator access, and create the first non-production workload.
- 3Validate DNS, TLS, mail, backups, restore, monitoring, capacity, and rollback before moving production traffic.
Installation requirements and supported operating systems
Start with a fresh Linux server and root or sudo access. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is strongly recommended. Supported architectures: AMD64 and ARM64.
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, and 26.04 LTS
- Debian 12 and 13
- AlmaLinux 9 and 10
- Rocky Linux 9 and 10
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and 10
- Fedora Server 43 and 44
Size CPU, memory, disk, and network capacity for your applications and enabled services. Runtime versions and extensions depend on the operating system and architecture. Core Panel runs on Linux; Windows hosting stacks require a separate compatibility and migration assessment.
Use the official installer on the destination server, keep the terminal open until it finishes, and store the generated sign-in credentials securely. Check domains, application dependencies, backups, and recovery before moving live traffic.
Limitations to verify
Know what remains workload-specific
Core Panel is control-panel software, not a VPS provider or managed infrastructure service. You remain responsible for provider selection, operating-system compatibility, server sizing, network security, updates, incident response, high availability, and recovery from provider-level failures.
Frequently asked questions
Does Core Panel include a VPS?
No. You provide a compatible VPS from the infrastructure provider you choose; Core Panel supplies the hosting control panel software.
Is the license priced by website or account?
No. Core Panel is priced per server and includes unlimited websites and resellers under the license, subject to server capacity and configured limits.
Can I install it on a VPS that already hosts production sites?
Use a compatible clean server and test migration separately. Rebuilding an occupied production server creates avoidable configuration, compatibility, and rollback risk.
