Your Server. Under Control in Six Minutes.
One command turns a blank VPS into a working panel — free to start, identical on every supported OS, with a Repair Tool and an independent Rescue Mode for the day something breaks.
curl -sSL https://latest.panelica.com/install.sh | bash
One command, no manual OS configuration
Panelica is packaged as a single statically-linked Go binary with its own Nginx, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and BIND, isolated under one directory. Run the installer on Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04, or 26.04 LTS, Debian 12 or 13, AlmaLinux 9 or 10, or Rocky Linux 9 or 10, and get the same panel behavior every time.
A dashboard for problems you would otherwise fix over SSH
A crashed service, a broken web-server config after a manual edit, a disk quietly filling up — these are the problems that can consume an entire evening. Panelica turns them into a two-tool workflow.
Repair Tool
Scans core services, configuration files, disk usage, and file ownership, reports each check as OK, Warning, or Critical, and fixes what needs fixing with one click. Every fix can be previewed first, config changes are backed up with automatic rollback, and destructive actions require an extra confirmation.
Read the Repair Tool writeupRescue Mode
An independent recovery service on port 8444, its own binary, with no dependency on the panel backend, the database, or nginx. If the main panel stops responding, Rescue Mode stays reachable with a system overview, the Repair Tool's fix engine, and a full root terminal, in a browser.
Read the Rescue Mode writeupPHP versions, without the guesswork
PHP 5.6 through 8.5 run side by side on the same server. Each site picks its own version, with a per-site extensions manager and a php.ini editor — no global switch that breaks a different project when you upgrade one.
Backups that were built to actually restore
Scheduled backups, on-demand snapshots, and remote storage keep a copy of your server off the box it protects. Granular restore reaches into any backup and pulls out exactly one file, folder, database, or mailbox — with a SHA-256 preview before anything is overwritten — instead of forcing a full-domain rollback for a single mistake.
Frequently asked questions
How long does Panelica take to install on a VPS?
About six minutes with a single command: curl -sSL https://latest.panelica.com/install.sh | bash. It runs the same way on Ubuntu 22.04 through 26.04, Debian 12 and 13, AlmaLinux 9 and 10, and Rocky Linux 9 and 10.
Is there a free plan for a personal VPS?
Yes. The Starter plan is free forever for three domains, with a bonus trial period of all Enterprise features. Current plan details are on the pricing page.
What happens if my panel stops responding?
Rescue Mode, an independent recovery service on port 8444 with its own binary and no dependency on the panel backend, database, or nginx, stays reachable and gives you a system overview, the Repair Tool's fix engine, and a full root terminal from a browser.
Can I run multiple PHP versions on the same server?
Yes. Panelica supports PHP 5.6 through 8.5 side by side, with per-site version switching, an extensions manager, and a php.ini editor per site.
