Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are the ideal choice for users seeking the quickest load times and handling more complex scripts or websites. Unlike shared hosting, which often imposes limitations on scripts and typically experiences longer delays in initial response times, along with high CPU usage from other users, a VPS offers a more robust solution. With a VPS, you gain full root access and a dedicated portion of a physical server, ensuring significantly greater computing resources at your disposal.
In this guide, we'll walk you through setting up CloudPanel on your VPS. CloudPanel is an intuitive tool designed to streamline the management and deployment of websites on your server. To ensure seamless operation and avoid potential conflicts, it's important to note that CloudPanel should be the sole application installed on your VPS. Join us as we explore how to enhance your VPS experience with CloudPanel, making website management more efficient and user-friendly.
- Purchase and build your VPS with a supported operating system (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or Debian 11 LTS).
- Once the VPS has been built and you have logged in via SSH, update the system and packages:
apt update && apt -y upgrade && apt -y install curl wget sudo - Now install MySQL 8 or MariaDB 10.11. We will use MariaDB 10.11 for this guide:
curl -sS https://installer.cloudpanel.io/ce/v2/install.sh -o install.sh; \
echo "85762db0edc00ce19a2cd5496d1627903e6198ad850bbbdefb2ceaa46bd20cbd install.sh" | \
sha256sum -c && sudo DB_ENGINE=MARIADB_10.11 bash install.sh - After the command has fully run, access the admin panel by navigating to https://yourVPSIPAddress:8443
Ignore the self-signed certificate warning and click on Advanced and Proceed to continue to CloudPanel.- You have now set CloudPanel up on your VPS.
We suggest you go through the panel and docs to get familiar with the panel. Navigate to CloudPanel docs here.
