In this guide, we will take a closer look at the site and server control panel ispmanager and explain its main advantages and versions.
What is ispmanager
The ispmanager panel allows you to deploy and manage web services. It installs all the necessary software to run websites, mail, and databases. It allows users to run projects in a ready-made web environment and then manage them through a graphical interface, without a console.
The ispmanager panel is useful for web developers, system administrators, and site managers. The panel makes server administration much easier, so it can be used not only by experienced professionals but also by beginners.
The current version of the panel is ispmanager 6. It differs from its predecessor by the improved interface, proactive error correction system, monitoring system, modern tools for developers, as well as support for popular CMS.
The main window of the ispmanager panel shows the main status of the system. From the menu on the left, you can go to the management of a specific service
The main features of the ispmanager panel

Creation and management of websites. The ispmanager panel provides tools for easy work with websites at all stages: from CMS installation to content filling.
Managing websites
Management of files. The graphical file manager can download large amounts of data without dropping the connection. There is support for popular FTP servers.
File manager
Support for programming languages. You can add Python and Perl directly from the panel, without additional repositories configuration. It is possible to choose the version and mode of the PHP interpreter for certain sites. There is support for Node.js handler and PHP Composer.
Protection of the server and the site. There are tools for backup, mail protection, firewall, repulsion of DDoS-attacks, and high-quality anti-virus Dr.Web to protect the system.
Dark and light theme. Ispmanager monitors all modern design trends and cares about user comfort. Dark theme is a thoughtful solution, which is more comfortable to work with in the dark.
Which version of ispmanager to choose?
There are currently four versions (licenses) of the ispmanager panel. For the deployment and administration of sites on VPS or dedicated servers, mainly three are used — lite, pro, and host. Licenses differ in the number of domains that can be managed. If you are an Internet Service Provider and want to organize a shared hosting service to provide a panel for your customers, your choice is the business version. Let's look at the features and differences in more detail.
Ispmanager lite is suitable for freelancers and web studios with a small number of projects: no more than 10 domains. At the same time, a large team can work with the panel: the number of user accounts is not limited. The version includes all the tools a developer needs: you can configure web servers, create sites, and connect additional modules.
Ispmanager pro has all the features of the lite version but supports up to 50 domains, which means it is suitable for more projects. In addition, there is a fully functional section for working with Docker technology.
Ispmanager host corresponds to the pro version in terms of functionality but does not limit the number of domains, so it is suitable for large web studios.
Ispmanager business
Ispmanager business is significantly different from other versions and is intended for providers. The business version provides shared hosting services:
- manages a cluster of servers;
- allows you to configure reselling;
- allows you to limit RAM, and CPU for users, so that “neighbors” on the hosting do not interfere with each other.
We've compiled the main differences between the versions in a helpful table to make it easier for you to choose the right version.
| Lite | Pro | Host | Business |
|---|---|---|---|
| For web developers and site administrators. You can buy it from a provider or install it on VPS, dedicated servers | For providers and resellers | ||
| Max 10 domains | Max 50 domains | Unlimited domains | Unlimited domains |
| For one or more projects | For the average number of projects | To support a large number of sites | To set up a business with ispmanager |
Which version of ispmanager to choose depends on your tasks and the number of projects you plan to manage. Those who want to create and maintain websites will be fine with lite, pro, or host licenses. If you want to organize your own hosting and reselling, use business. If you order our servers, either VPS or dedicated, you can choose any version of ispmanager to suit your specific needs.
