What is ispmanager?

Ispmanager is a control panel for the web environment and services on Linux servers. Using the panel, you can easily create and manage websites, ensure a high level of server and project security, connect corporate email and configure DNS.

The panel supports dozens of tools and technologies. It powers more than 2,000,000 sites worldwide. Technical support is ready to help 24/7, and detailed documentation and training materials are presented in several languages.

The product stands out with its intuitive and user-friendly interface, reliability and stability, as well as wide functionality that is suitable for both beginners and experienced professionals in web development and administration. Moreover, it is almost 2 times more cost-effective than other control panels with similar functionality.

Main features of the ispmanager panel

Creating websites: This includes connecting a domain, configuring PHP, Node.js, Python, installing an SSL certificate and CMS or creating a website using a website builder.

Working with PHP: Ispmanager greatly simplifies working with PHP: there is support for different modes and alternative versions for each host, extensions, as well as the Composer package manager.

Node.js and Python: The panel supports Node.js and Python: you can install different versions and differentiate applications between users.

DNS server: The panel has its own DNS server, as well as the ability to connect external ones. To protect against phishing, DNSSEC is supported — an extension that creates a unique digital signature for NS records.

Mail domains: Ispmanager supports managing a mail server at your own domain. It provides a transition to the Roundcube mail client and many tools for protecting against spam and viruses: blacklists, email header analysis, behavior blocking, etc.

Databases: Database servers can be created directly from ispmanager. MySQL, MariaDB, PerconaServer, PostgreSQL are supported. At the same time, you can install your own version of the DBMS for each site and configure user access rights to the database.

SSL certificates: A great advantage of ispmanager is support for free SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt. They are automatically installed and renewed. In addition, you can add any paid certificates to the site.

File manager and FTP: The panel has its own built-in file manager with a code editor, and you can also manage FTP access: create users and grant rights.

Backups :Ispmanager makes backups of user data. It supports storing backup copies directly on the server and in external storage, including cloud storage.

Interface

The ispmanager interface is 100% user-friendly. On the left side is the main menu, from which you can go to the necessary settings: create a site, record on the DNS server, manage the file manager. The panel supports different languages, including English, which is very convenient. There is also user rights management: you can create an account for each and individually configure rights.

Ispmanager is especially convenient if you do not want to spend a lot of time working in the console – all the settings for the normal operation of the web server have already been thought out, and they can be set in the panel.

Modules in ispmanager

In addition to the great variety of main tools in ispmanager, it is possible to connect additional modules that improve functionality. Among them, there are paid and free ones.

BitNinja: is a paid AI-based antivirus module for websites. It protects servers from SQL injection, outbound spam attacks, cross-site scripting, viruses, multiple connections, and id self-learning from each new attack.

DDoS-Guard: is a paid module for protection against DDoS. It works on the principle of a reverse proxy server: it passes all traffic through a network of servers and filters harmful traffic. In addition to the protection against attacks, the module can work as a CDN (content delivery network), accelerating the loading of images, videos and other media content.

Softaculous: is a tool for installing web applications. The module itself is free, but there are paid scripts. The library includes more than 400 scripts and CMS. Through Softaculous, you can not only install them, but also automatically update them, which is very important for the security and speed of the site.

Site.Pro: is a popular module in ispmanager for quickly creating a site, e,.g website builder. There is a free version of Site.Pro in ispmanager, and you may create a site of any complexity in it based on one of dozens of templates.

Tariff plans: lite, pro, host

The ispmanager panel comes in several versions – lite, pro and host. Any of them can be deployed on the VDS/VPS or dedicated server, but differ in the number of sites that you can create in the panel and the included features number.
