Deploy an ISPConfig Cloud VPS with Host4Fun. AMD Ryzen, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD, 10 Gbps. Install ISPConfig — the free open-source multi-server hosting control panel. From $3/mo.
ISPConfig is a free, open-source, GPL-licensed web hosting control panel that has been actively developed since 2000. It stands out from other free panels through its native multi-server capability — a single ISPConfig installation can manage web, mail, and DNS services distributed across multiple physical servers, making it one of the few free panels that can genuinely scale to enterprise hosting infrastructure.
ISPConfig supports a three-tier account hierarchy: administrators, resellers, and clients. Resellers can create and manage their own client accounts with configurable resource packages. The panel manages Apache or Nginx web servers, Postfix + Dovecot email, BIND or MyDNS DNS, MySQL/MariaDB databases, ProFTPD FTP, and SpamAssassin/ClamAV email security.
On a Host4Fun Cloud VPS, ISPConfig runs on fully isolated KVM hardware with dedicated AMD Ryzen cores, DDR5 RAM, and NVMe SSD — a powerful, completely free hosting platform trusted by thousands of hosting providers worldwide since 2000.
ISPConfig is typically installed by following the Perfect Server guide for your OS — a detailed step-by-step process that installs the full LAMP or LEMP stack before running the ISPConfig installer. This takes 30-60 minutes but results in a well-configured, production-ready server.
An automated installer (ISPConfig AI) is also available that handles the full stack setup in one command. Host4Fun delivers the Cloud VPS with full root access — SSH in and follow the official ISPConfig documentation for your chosen OS.
A complete feature set tailored for the ISPConfig control panel on a high-performance Cloud VPS.
ISPConfig's most powerful differentiator — a single ISPConfig master can manage web, mail, and DNS services on multiple remote servers. Distribute hosting workloads across dedicated web, mail, and database servers all managed from one control panel.
ISPConfig supports Admin, Reseller, and Client account tiers. Resellers create and manage their own client accounts with configurable resource packages — suitable for hosting businesses running reseller operations on a single or multi-server infrastructure.
Automatic SSL provisioning and renewal via Let's Encrypt for all hosted domains. ISPConfig's Let's Encrypt integration is reliable and well-tested — configure per-domain SSL through the web server settings in the client or admin panel.
Postfix MTA with Dovecot IMAP/POP3, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, Roundcube/SquirrelMail webmail included. Per-domain email management with DKIM/SPF/DMARC, greylisting, and per-mailbox quotas. Email server configuration is one of ISPConfig's strongest areas.
Choose Apache or Nginx (or both) as your web server stack. ISPConfig manages virtual host configuration, PHP version selection, .htaccess overrides, and web root paths per domain. OpenLiteSpeed support is available via community plugins.
Per-client database management with configurable quotas. Clients create and manage their own databases through their ISPConfig panel. phpMyAdmin available per-database from the interface.
ISPConfig supports multiple PHP versions installed via PHP-FPM pools. Assign different PHP versions per domain through the web server settings — PHP 7.4 through 8.x supported with isolation between hosting accounts.
DNS zone management through ISPConfig's DNS module using BIND or MyDNS. Create and manage zones, A/CNAME/MX/TXT records, DNSSEC configuration, and secondary DNS server synchronisation from the panel interface.
Per-client backup scheduling with configurable intervals and retention. Backup web files, databases, and email. Restore individual clients or specific data from the ISPConfig backup manager. Remote backup destinations supported via custom scripts.
