FASTPANEL allows you to manage a VPS server even without special technical skills. The once complex processes of hosting and administering websites have been reduced to just a few mouse clicks.

All necessary actions to configure the server, create a database and FTP account can be performed automatically. When creating a website, it is possible to immediately install and deploy CMS WordPress on it.
