How To Install CloudPanel on your Ubuntu & Debian VPS

CloudPanel is a free server control panel. Its great advantage is that it has advanced server management features. The panel also offers a fast technology stack built with lightweight components for maximum performance and provides a set of tools to enhance security at the server level.

Web Server Management: CloudPanel supports the installation and configuration of popular web servers such as Nginx and Apache, allowing you to quickly deploy and manage websites.
Database Management: CloudPanel makes it easy to create, delete, and manage databases (such as MySQL or MariaDB), which is especially important for dynamic web applications.
User and Permissions Management: CloudPanel allows you to create and manage user accounts, as well as set their access rights to various resources and services on the server.
