Running a control panel on your VPS
A control panel gives your VPS a friendly web interface for managing websites, emails, databases and more, without needing the command line for everything. It is a great option if you want VPS power with an easier day-to-day experience.
Popular control panels include cPanel/WHM, Plesk, and free options such as CyberPanel or CWP. With root access you can install the one that suits you, then manage your sites through a browser.
Typical steps:
- Deploy your VPS with a supported operating system.
- Connect via SSH as root.
- Follow the control panel's installation instructions.
- Log in to the panel to start hosting your sites.
Do check that the panel supports your chosen OS, and note that some panels require a licence. If you would like a control panel pre-installed or help setting one up, choose a managed VPS or contact our UAE team on WhatsApp at +971 58 553 6767. You can manage your VPS at my.dirhamaday.ae.
