Server configuration

Familiarise yourself with the functions of the panel. It lets you manage your web server, your mail server, your MySQL / PostgreSQL databases, as well as many other things, such as the firewall, local backups, scheduled tasks (cron), etc...

You can also use the panel to monitor the resources used by the VPS.

Website management

You can of course secure your websites by installing an SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt or custom) directly from the panel.

An automatic application installer is also available to make it easier to deploy CMS and frameworks (Wordpress, Prestashop, Nextcloud, Laravel, Symphony, etc.).
