Today, in this article, we show how to install CyberPanel on Ubuntu 20.04. A control panel called CyberPanel was created primarily with non-technical users in mind. Due to its simple style, which most hosting companies are used to, CyberPanel is quite simple to learn. In addition, CyberPanel provides a number of features that most other control panels do not have.
Instead of using FTP or SSH, CyberPanel provides a sophisticated interface that can be used to upload files from your computer using the command line. Also, CyberPanel has a service script installer so you can quickly install scripts like WordPress and Joomla without having to learn how to install each script separately via FTP/ssh. CSF Firewall, an excellent feature of CyberPanel, protects against brute force attacks.
CyberPanel also offers many more management options, including the ability to operate the firewall through a dashboard. Operating your own control panel doesn’t come with many of the features that CyberPanel offers. Additionally, CyberPanel offers an API that developers or hosting companies can use for specialized development tasks. On all popular operating systems, including Windows, Linux, BSD, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, CyberPanel is supported. We have mentioned below the steps to install CyberPanel on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
