Compare ISPConfig vs. froxlor

Open Source, transparent, cost-free, reliable, secure, and remarkably fast, ISPConfig is designed for ongoing development and boasts extensive documentation alongside a large community that offers a support forum and enterprise-level assistance. Users can efficiently manage one or multiple servers through a single control panel, whether operating on a single server, a multi-server setup, or mirrored clusters. Regardless of whether you are utilizing a physical server or a virtual machine, ISPConfig operates seamlessly. The ISPConfig support partner network provides a comprehensive array of assistance options, including email support, remote login capabilities, installation help, and consulting services. Management of various servers is streamlined through a unified control panel, enabling effective web server administration for both Apache2 and nginx platforms. Additionally, the system allows for mail server management featuring virtual mail users and DNS server management for BIND and PowerDNS. Virtualization support (OpenVZ) is included, along with login options for administrators, resellers, and clients. Since the APS project has been discontinued, it has been removed from our panel for improved efficiency. Moreover, HTTP/2 will be activated for all websites that are compatible with the software, and we have also implemented further checks for subdomain/alias virtual host domains in web folders. This ensures enhanced performance and reliability for all users.

Created by seasoned server administrators, this open-source (GPL) panel streamlines the management of your hosting environment. You can specify which IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses and ports are assigned per domain. Additionally, you can set which ports will utilize SSL and enable customers to manage their certificates for each domain. Different PHP configurations can be saved, and you can select the appropriate php.ini file for each domain (note that this applies only to FCGI/FPM setups). The system allows for the management of reseller resources and imposes limits on what customers can access in their dedicated control panel. You can track dedicated HTTP, FTP, and mail traffic, visualizing the data through interactive graphs. Major functionalities are accessible via an API, granting complete control over your hosting services. Furthermore, you can customize froxlor’s appearance by modifying the base CSS or by crafting an entirely new theme. Free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt can also be easily integrated directly within froxlor, enhancing the security of your hosted domains. Such flexibility makes this panel a valuable tool for both administrators and customers alike.
