ApisCP 18 year anniversary sale! And updates!
ApisCP turns 18 on December 26th, which is a great milestone as the codebase can now buy fireworks, purchase spray paint, and get tattoos without parental consent.
To kick the celebration off and help everyone move past 2020, I'm bringing back the popular 50% off discount (coupon code: ANNIVERSARY) valid on all lifetime licenses. This discount is valid until January 1 or reseller support officially launches, whichever happens later.
Pro licenses (no domain limit) are $249, Startup (30 domain limit) is $79, and Mini (10 domain limit) is $49. These are all one-time costs. Licenses may be revoked and reissued as needed via the licensing portal, my.apiscp.com.
On to interesting developments. As we know by now CentOS is flipping upstream to RHEL instead of downstream. I've shared my thoughts on this and logged a few days of build hours on E2E tests. Unless something catastrophic happens by Summer, ApisCP will continue to focus on the Red Hat/CentOS ecosystem to produce the maximum integration afforded by this distro. Having faster release cycles for crucial software like systemd allows me to build more cohesive platforms with less overhead. It's a win.
Technology helps accomplish tasks with better precision. Reseller system, which is next to launch now that the panel proxy is done, uses project quotas and cgroup subtrees to allow overselling with online resource enforcement. Resellers can allocate beyond their package allowances to sites, but the sum of all resources consumed can never exceed the total on the reseller; unlike prevailing reseller systems this is enforced realtime by the OS.
Given the ambitious approach to reseller support, ApisCP will only support resellers on CentOS 8 or Stream with xfs filesystems. ext4 supports project quotas on 4.x kernels; however, I've not explored it to the same extent as xfs project/group/user quotas.
Lastly, panel proxy as touched on earlier allows one to run multiple ApisCP nodes from a single login portal. It's been part of the magic behind Hostineer for the last 5 years and now it's cleaned up for a wider audience. Several great minds in the ApisCP Discord have helped move this along. It's as simple as a couple configuration settings on each node. Panel proxy is broken down into 3 separate components to enhance security. Each component can be run off a free DNS-only license issued via my.apiscp.com. After reseller is implemented, I'll expand upon this to allow admin to jump locations from a single login.
@SGraf wait no more. It's here!

I used to have a free test license but I didn't have the chance to install it back then, so I lost the license.
It looks neat now. Keep it up and it might become the next cPanel.
not sure if this a compliment or an insult...
sweet
It's a compliment.. I meant "as widely used as cPanel.. as to be honest it still seems used by most big names in our industry..."
Haha.. same here..
FreeBSD please.
Woot. Good stuff as always my man!!
WebPros is holding onto some serious debt, $540 million in fact as a first-lien loan. I can't say there's many upsides to following in their footsteps.
Do one thing and do it very well. Doing so would balloon development costs and stall development, neither of which existing users would be elated on hearing. A good platform shouldn't require much - if any - bushwhacking in the terminal. ApisCP isn't free of terminal usage yet, but it's moving positively toward that goal.
ApisCP reseller coming soon ?
That's the next module coming online. Working around the clock to get it ready ASAP. First half will be basic reseller support with project quotas. Second half will be resource allocation with cgroup subtrees.
Make sure your server is provisioned as CentOS 8 with xfs to be eligible for reseller support.
that sounds amazing
Seasons greetings! This is great news @nem
I have a couple of free pro licenses. Would reseller support made available or we need to pay separately?
Also, on a side note, is it possible to use this control panel for basic server admin Gui? I dont have a need to run any sites at the moment... just some storage backup and server admin like logs viewing or setting up crons etc.
Also is there a possibility to add a web shell console for the main admin user to run commands on adhoc basis if needed?
On his discord he once said that no features are market separately, so I suppose yes it's included.
I can recommend using Project-Cockpit for this maybe. Apiscp is made for hosting sites so you'd have a lot of stuff installed on your box that you don't need at all. Though he might be cautious with configuration I think it's even more secure to not have it installed if not required.
Awesome!
Ohh cockpit.. completely forgot about that... yes that's perfect!
ApisCP is litterally older than me
I purchased the mini lifetime license. I got it as an investment for the future, I think you will become the next "DA success story" as a CP. I also liked the fact that it's transferable ! that's always nice to have ... !
BTW would the reseller module still work on it with 10 domains limit ?
Hello, I didn't know this panel but i'm looking for newpanel...i have site in prestashop and wordpress can be help?
Just remember, this not a low-end control panel: it requires significant/substantial resources. Otherwise, I do welcome having ApisCP as an option, even if it is complex in its' structure.
[I'll hold off using in production until (VPS) RAM is much cheaper and SSD/NVMe falls to the price of HDD.]
Correct.
Create a dummy account so it's shielded from the rest of the server. You can
su site1
then run commands as that user or do it from the GUI. Sparingly run things from the administrative side, it's powerful.Yup it's interoperable, there is no conflict. That'll provide access to system logs.
It'd be hamstrung, but could work within a thin margin. Reseller is a feature enabled by the admin.
RAM is cheap. Oversight and the fallout of a hacked server is not. Remember, not everyone is keen to build a house by venturing into the wilderness with a saw.
@seriesn provides a variety of capable configurations with ApisCP that are less than buying a cheeseburger and fries once a week.
Is 4GB RAM considered "substantial" resources?
I'm not sure I would run cPanel or Plesk on any less.
Novice question: cgroup
So basically, one won't need Cloud Linux for basic per user restriction. Will every shared hosting A/C be running as separate user then?
Got it as an investment. Will try out and replace DA when I get time.
Cheaper than Burger King meal with in app discount.
can anyone tell me why it is great/different from others?
i have visited website many and it seems impressive, also some different approach but i don't actually get how it helps me better than others say
cyberpanel
i went to buy now button 3-4times but had to stop because i am really not sure whether i need it or not.
PS: after using cyberpanel for 1+ years, for new vps's i am just using openlitespeed with their control panel and
vHost Templates
which are serving my purpose.It is at the low-end of the market.
On cPanel, 4GB RAM/40GB Storage is a luxury for the ecommerce package that I run normally. For a non-cPanel instance running Adobe (King of) bloatware Magento 2.3, 4GB is an absolute minimum and insufficient for Magento 2.4.
Take into account ApisCP approx. 10GB storage, Magento ever expanding 6GB storage, plus RAM requirements and you are at Enterprise levels, not low-end.
Y'all too used to Windoze mentality.
A control panel should be there to ease the burden of administration and that is all. Not become a so-called App in its' own right.
This is kind of true. We have evolved so much, but still type commands in terminal like in TOPS20 computing era. We should really create an open source management panel with easy scripts.
Hey man, I don't understand your "Low End" CP standards. however I am actually running ApisCP on 6 Bucks/year VPS and it is working smoothly. If you think this is still not up to the "low end" standard, maybe you are not ready to use a control panel like ApisCP.
Would be interested to know the specs. and provider.
No maybes about it. I'll hold off a bit longer and experiment (again), from time to time.
@AlwaysSkint
1gb ram
1vCPU
20 SSD
Virmach
try and join on their discord. you will understand why you need to have ApisCP immediately
This utterly surprises me!
Can you actually run anything productive on it?
Yes I run it on that system with low memory mode
