FastPanel

FastPanel is a server control panel designed for system administrators who want a straightforward interface without the bloat of larger panels. It supports managing websites, databases, email accounts, DNS zones, and FTP users from a clean web dashboard. The panel runs on CentOS 7 and AlmaLinux 8 and is completely free to use.

Key capabilities include one-click installer for popular CMS platforms like WordPress and Joomla, Let's Encrypt SSL certificate automation, firewall management via CSF, and PHP version switching. It integrates with MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and Pure-FTPd. The backend uses Nginx as a reverse proxy with Apache or PHP-FPM. FastPanel was created by the developers behind the VestaCP fork, offering a more modern and actively maintained alternative.

The panel targets small to medium server environments where resource efficiency matters. There are no paid tiers or feature restrictions. It is proprietary software but free for unlimited domains and users. FastPanel has gained traction among hosting providers migrating from older panels due to its low memory footprint and straightforward upgrade path.
