How to Install VestaCP on Ubuntu 22.04
Vesta Control Panel (VestaCP) simplifies webserver management, saving technicians valuable time. Its user-friendly interface allows for easy configuration of websites, databases, mail, DNS zones, and cron jobs. A key feature is the easy installation of free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates with a dedicated button.
What sets VestaCP apart from control panels like cPanel? Its comprehensive functionality is a major advantage.
VestaCP is lightweight, operating efficiently even on budget servers with minimum requirements of 512 MB RAM, 20 GB HDD, and a 1 GHz CPU. During the installation process, VestaCP intelligently disables resource-intensive modules based on available RAM to optimize performance. For instance, the antivirus suite requires at least 3GB of RAM to be installed. If you prefer customized installations, you can manually select components either during setup or configure options on the VestaCP website.
