Control Panel How to install vestacp

[DevOps]

​

VestaCP is a free and open-source web hosting control panel, with a set of features that includes integration with Softaculous, managing domains, databases, mail, DNS, cron jobs, backups, and more. It’s one of the free control panels that has stuck around and is still going strong – and for good reason! Compared to other control panels, it’s lightweight and resource friendly, easy to install, and it’s a great cPanel alternative.

In this tutorial we’ll install VestaCP on an Ubuntu 18.04 machine, after which we’ll configure it and add a new domain to it.

Prerequisites
This guide assumes that you have the following.

• A server running Ubuntu 18.04, with at a minimum of 1GB RAM
• A valid domain with it’s A records pointing to your server’s IP address.

To clarify, before we start, here’s how I’ll have things set up on starting:

dracula.host – A Record points to server_IP (our testing domain)

panel – A Record points to server_IP (we’ll access VestaCP by visiting panel.dracula.host)

draculawebsite.ml – The domain that we’ll add to our hosting, after VestaCP is installed.

If you don’t have domains, you can get free ones from FREENOM. If you need a recommendation to buy domains from a registrar, then we recommend Namecheap.

NOTE: You may have different requirements, If that’s the case, and you need assistance, then feel free to leave us a comment and we’ll get back to you ASAP.
