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.
