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.
Root access is required
Installation adds system packages, writes service configuration, runs a database migration, and enables or restarts server services.
Ubuntu Server
The exact Ubuntu release is confirmed during the pre-install review before any server changes are made.
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.
Fresh VPS recommended
A fresh VPS is the preferred setup. An existing production server requires a review and verified backup before installation.
Planned per server
Timing depends on package downloads, current server configuration, and DNS work. The installation window is agreed before setup begins.
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.
One unlimited plan
Choose how
you pay.
Create your account, choose monthly or yearly billing, then add your server details.

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.
