What is aaPanel?

aaPanel (also known as BT Panel internationally) is a free, open-source web hosting control panel developed by the aaPanel team. It provides an intuitive one-click installer for LNMP (Linux + Nginx + MySQL + PHP) and LAMP stacks, making it one of the fastest ways to deploy a fully configured web hosting environment on a fresh VPS.

With a clean dashboard, built-in file manager, FTP, database management, firewall, and SSL automation, aaPanel packs enterprise-level hosting features into a zero-cost package. It supports Nginx, Apache, OpenLiteSpeed, MySQL, MariaDB, and multiple PHP versions simultaneously.

On a Host4Fun Cloud VPS, aaPanel runs on fully isolated KVM hardware with dedicated AMD Ryzen cores, DDR5 RAM, and NVMe SSD — giving you a responsive, high-performance hosting platform without license fees.

aaPanel on Cloud VPS — How It Works

aaPanel installs on your Cloud VPS via a single shell command. It auto-detects your OS, installs its dependencies, and presents a browser-based dashboard at port 7800 within minutes of running the install script.

Host4Fun delivers the Cloud VPS with full root access. SSH in, paste the one-line installer, and choose your web server stack (LNMP or LAMP). aaPanel handles the rest — Nginx/Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP, phpMyAdmin, and SSL are all available from the panel.

Everything aaPanel Gives You

From one-click LNMP stacks to SSL automation, database management, and a built-in firewall — aaPanel delivers a complete hosting environment at zero cost.

One-Click LNMP & LAMP

Install a complete Nginx + MySQL + PHP or Apache + MySQL + PHP stack with a single click. aaPanel handles all configuration, permissions, and startup services — you go from a bare VPS to a working web server in under five minutes.

Multi-Web Server Support

Choose from Nginx, Apache, and OpenLiteSpeed as your web server. Switch between them or run them on different ports. Each server version can be installed directly from the aaPanel software store with version-specific config management.

Multi-PHP Version Management

Install and run PHP 5.6, 7.x, and 8.x simultaneously. Assign different PHP versions per website — essential for managing legacy apps alongside modern codebases. Switch versions with no downtime from the panel UI.

Free SSL / Let’s Encrypt

One-click SSL certificate provisioning and auto-renewal via Let’s Encrypt for all your domains. Force HTTPS, manage wildcard certificates, and configure HSTS headers — all without touching the command line.

MySQL / MariaDB & phpMyAdmin

Create and manage databases, users, and permissions via a clean GUI. phpMyAdmin is available directly from the panel. Supports MySQL 5.x, 8.x, and MariaDB 10.x with version-specific performance tuning options.

Built-in Firewall

aaPanel ships with a firewall manager built in. Open or close ports, add IP whitelist/blacklist rules, enable brute-force protection, and review connection logs — all from the dashboard without iptables commands.

File Manager

Full browser-based file manager with drag-and-drop upload, in-browser editing with syntax highlighting, archive extraction, and permission management. Manage all your website files without FTP or SSH file transfers.

Scheduled Backups

Configure automated backups for websites, databases, and configuration files. Set backup destinations including local storage, FTP, and cloud targets. Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly backups with retention policies.

Real-Time Monitoring

Live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage graphs on the main dashboard. Monitor per-website traffic, track error rates, review access and error logs in real time, and set resource usage alerts from a single consolidated view.
