The host must provide

Runtime

Operating system
Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 or 26.04; Debian 12 or 13 in the current requirements

Step by step

Plan a CloudPanel deployment

  1. Select the operating system

    Use a currently supported OS and architecture on a server reserved for the planned panel installation.

    Official instructions
  2. Size the hosted applications

    Add the requirements of each application and its database to the panel’s installation budget.

    Official instructions
  3. Plan recovery

    Record site configuration and keep recoverable database and file backups before major changes.

Security

Before you go public

  • Restrict administration access.
  • Do not install a second panel over an existing multi-site server.

Cost

Beyond the server price

  • Include server rental, storage and backups; the panel does not supply a server.
