Looking for the best hosting control panel? Both FASTPANEL and CyberPanel are popular among system administrators, but FASTPANEL leads in key areas such as usability, performance, compatibility and security.

FASTPANEL - a control panel designed for simplicity, stability, and flexibility​

FASTPANEL is a modern web panel for server and website management. It is lightweight, architecturally stable and comes with powerful built-in tools. The focus is on maximizing ease of administration while minimizing server load.

Unlike CyberPanel, which is tied to OpenLiteSpeed and has a number of limitations, FASTPANEL delivers a stable, compatible environment for most popular CMSs and PHP applications and, in reverse-proxy mode, reliably handles any non-PHP backend.

✅ 1. Versatility & compatibility​

• Broad OS support: Debian 9–12, Ubuntu 18.04–24.04, CentOS 7, AlmaLinux 8, RockyLinux 8
• Fast installation: 3–7 minutes, no reboot required, launched with a single command
• Works on nearly any VPS or dedicated server with no tweaks or hacks

⚡ 2. Minimal server load​

• Uses only ≈ 100 MB of disk space and ≈ 170 MB of RAM after installation.
• FASTPANEL - Ideal for resource-constrained or budget VPSs.
• By comparison: CyberPanel consumes almost 5× more disk space and 1.5× more RAM

🔧 3. Classic, flexible web-server stack​

Nginx (frontend) + Apache (backend) with PHP-FPM provides:

• High-speed static file delivery
• Stable PHP performance
• Easy .htaccess / mod_rewrite configuration
• Supports PHP 5.3 to 8.4, with the ability to assign different PHP versions to different sites.

🛠️ 4. Rich feature set out of the box​

• Advanced file manager - fast, modern UI

• Built-in web terminal for accessing the CLI directly from the panel

• Database management via built-in phpMyAdmin/phpPgAdmin

• Mail server with full webmail (Exim + Dovecot + RoundCube)

• Backups:

  ◦ Free differential backups

  ◦ Cloud storage: Dropbox, Google Drive, FTP, SCP

  ◦ Integration with FASTBACKUP

🔒 5. Security hardened by default​

• Web firewall
• Malware scanner
• 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)
• Site isolation at the system level - each site runs under a separate user account.
• Ability to grant developer/webmaster access for one site without risking the rest.

🌍 6. Clean, intuitive interface​

• Modern UI with logical structure
• Suitable for both beginners and experienced administrators
• 18 languages available (English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.)

📊 7. Monitoring & integrations​

• Supports integration with AWStats and Prometheus (Prometheus requires Extended license)
• Visual graphs for load, resource usage, and logs

🤝 8. Reliable support & up-to-date docs​

• 24/7 support for panel-related issues (free of charge).
• Support for general server administration questions (paid).
• Average response time - less than 5 minutes.
• Detailed documentation with intuitive navigation, unlike the bulky manuals of CyberPanel.

💰 9. Transparent, flexible pricing​

• Free license with full core functionality

• Extended license:

  ◦ € 4.20 / month

  ◦ € 46.20 / year

  ◦ € 99 lifetime

• No extra fees for essentials such as the file manager or WP Manager (unlike CyberPanel)

✅ Why choose FASTPANEL​

• Simplicity & stability
• Feature-rich without hidden costs
• Low system requirements
• Fast, responsive support & strong security
