⚙️ How to Install ISPmanager on a VPS

ISPmanager is a commercial yet powerful server control panel that lets you easily manage websites, domains, mail, databases, DNS, SSL, and more. It’s ideal for both sysadmins and users with no command-line experience. This guide explains how to install ISPmanager on your VPS, what OS are supported, and what to check beforehand.

🖥 Supported Operating Systems

• ✅ AlmaLinux 8 and 9
• ✅ Debian 10, 11, and 12
• ✅ Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04
• ❌ CentOS 7 and below — not supported

🔧 Installation Command

Connect to your VPS via SSH as the root user and run:

curl -sSL https://cdn.ispmanager.com/install.sh | bash
    

The installer will auto-detect your OS and set everything up. After installation, you'll receive a login link and temporary credentials. The interface is secured via HTTPS and offers initial setup options.

📌 What to Check Before Installation

• 🧼 Make sure your OS is clean — no existing web servers or panels installed.
• 🔑 You must have root access to the server.
• 🌐 Prepare a domain if you want to set up an HTTPS certificate immediately.
• 🚪 Ensure port 1500 is open — it’s used to access the panel.

🚀 What You Get After Installation

• 🖥 A user-friendly web interface accessible via browser;
• 📦 CMS support: WordPress, Joomla, OpenCart, and more;
• 📧 Mail server with SPF, DKIM, spam filtering, and webmail;
• 🛡 Free Let’s Encrypt SSL and auto-renewal support;
• 📊 Resource monitoring, service logs, and automatic service restarts.

🔐 License and Trial Period

After installation, you’ll get a 14-day free trial. To continue using ISPmanager beyond that, you’ll need a paid license. You can manage the license through your Bit.Hosting account or directly via the ISPmanager interface. Different license tiers are available — from basic to corporate — depending on your domain count and features needed.
