Before you install

Server requirements.

HudsonPanel is installed at the server level. We review the system before setup so the panel and hosted workload have the right environment.

Confirmed

Root access is required

Installation adds system packages, writes service configuration, runs a database migration, and enables or restarts server services.

Operating system

Ubuntu Server

The exact Ubuntu release is confirmed during the pre-install review before any server changes are made.

Server size

Matched to the workload

RAM, CPU, and storage needs depend on the websites, mailboxes, databases, and applications the server will host. Resources are reviewed before installation.

Server condition

Fresh VPS recommended

A fresh VPS is the preferred setup. An existing production server requires a review and verified backup before installation.

Installation time

Planned per server

Timing depends on package downloads, current server configuration, and DNS work. The installation window is agreed before setup begins.

Current process

How setup works

The available deployment script installs required packages, migrates the HudsonPanel database, writes protected service configuration, then enables and checks services.

Server compatibility and resources are checked before installation begins.

A note from the founder

I started HudsonPanel because I wanted hosting to feel fast, simple, and unrestricted again. I was tired of watching great servers get boxed in by account limits, rising license fees, and unnecessary complexity. HudsonPanel is my answer to that: a modern control panel built for real performance, straightforward management, and the freedom to grow without paying more just because your business does.
