So, without further ado, here is the SPanel team. -LC<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What is SPanel?<\/h2>\n<p>SPanel is a multifunctional web hosting platform that simplifies server management to a level where anyone can operate their environment even without previous technical experience.<\/p>\n<p>SPanel developers focus strongly on their fully managed LiteSpeed Web Server and OpenLiteSpeed solutions. They cater to business-oriented site and app owners. You can choose a plan where all technical tasks will be handled by a professional support team.<\/p>\n<p>The solution consists of two essential parts: The Admin Interface and the User Interface.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12571\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-01-1024x754.png\" alt=\"SPanel LiteSpeed Web Server admin interface\" width=\"1024\" height=\"754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-01-1024x754.png 1024w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-01-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-01-768x565.png 768w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-01-1536x1131.png 1536w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-01-1320x972.png 1320w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-01-600x442.png 600w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-01.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Admin Interface<\/strong> is for managing the server and all associated accounts. It allows you to create, modify, and delete accounts, monitor your connectivity and running processes, restart the machine, and more.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12573\" src=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-02-797x1024.png\" alt=\"SPanel LiteSpeed Web Server user interface\" width=\"797\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-02-797x1024.png 797w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-02-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-02-768x987.png 768w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-02-1195x1536.png 1195w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-02-600x771.png 600w, https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/showcase-spanel-02.png 1245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>User Interface<\/strong> is responsible for managing individual accounts and services. It has an intuitive graphic interface that helps you deal with domain names, emails, site files, databases, SSL certificates, and more.<\/p>\n<p>SPanel integrates with all popular web hosting solutions. Using its powerful API, you can pair the platform with <strong>LiteSpeed<\/strong>,<strong> OpenLiteSpeed<\/strong>, <strong>Nginx<\/strong>, <strong>WHMCS<\/strong>, <strong>Softaculous <\/strong>&#8211; basically the full package of services to start any type of online project.<\/p>\n<p>For a complete list of features, check out the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spanel.io\/\">SPanel.io website<\/a><\/strong> or take a look at this introductory video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"SPanel \u2014 The All-in-One Cloud Hosting Management Platform\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QpaSJ3FshQ0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>How to Install LiteSpeed Web Server or OpenLiteSpeed in SPanel<\/h2>\n<p>Switching your service to LiteSpeed Web Server or OpenLiteSpeed is effortless in SPanel. The process involves literally just three clicks:<\/p>\n<p>IMAGE<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Log in to your <strong>SPanel Admin Area.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Choose the<strong> Web Server Manager<\/strong> option under <strong>Software <\/strong>in the left-side menu.<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong>LiteSpeed<\/strong> or <strong>OpenLiteSpeed<\/strong> on the next screen.<\/li>\n<li>Activate by clicking the blue button at the bottom of the page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That is all there is to it &#8211; quick and seamless integration that requires no technical expertise.<\/p>\n<h2>SPanel Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>cPanel still holds the lion\u2019s share of the market for web hosting solutions, but alternatives like SPanel, Plesk, and InterWorx are certainly gaining traction<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there are numerous reasons why SPanel, in particular, has been getting so much attention. Here are a few of the most notable:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fully Managed Service<\/strong>: SPanel might be extremely user-friendly, but many website owners still prefer to focus on their business instead of dealing with technicalities. For them, the developers offer a fully managed service where their support team takes care of all configurations, updates, monitoring, maintenance, and technical issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SShield<\/strong>: one of the things only SPanel can offer is SShield, an AI-powered security monitoring system. The tool has proven to be a beast when it comes to cybersecurity, recognizing over 99.98% of all known malware and spam. Whenever SShield detects suspicious activities in your web traffic, it proactively sends a notification, so you have enough time to react.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SWordPress Manager<\/strong>: another unique SPanel integration, targeted for WordPress users. If you are looking to simplify your day-to-day operations with the most popular CMS, you can install WP, take advantage of automatic updates, change admin password, and many more. The Security Lock feature allows you to restrict editing access to chosen folders and directories, protecting WordPress installation from any outside breaches.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Joomla Manager<\/strong>: similar to SWordPress Manager, SPanel packs a solution for all the Joomla fans. The Joomla Manager is integrated by default in SPanel, helping users with a one-click installation, password change, and site cloning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feature Requests by Users:<\/strong>\u00a0the thing that most separates SPanel from similar platforms is the involvement of the entire community. The control panel receives regular updates, and most new feature implementations come directly from user suggestions. There is a <a href=\"https:\/\/features.spanel.io\/\">Feature Requests forum<\/a> on the official website. You can suggest a new feature or vote on other people&#8217;s ideas. The SPanel engineers gather all popular requests and put them on the to-do list, ensuring they see the light of day in future updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Final Takes<\/h2>\n<p>SPanel can be a highly reliable alternative to the market leaders in hosting management solutions. The platform is lightweight, highly secure, and extremely versatile. The managed plans are ideal for website owners who have a strong business focus. They take the weight off of the webmaster&#8217;s shoulders. And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spanel.io\/pricing.html\">the licensing model<\/a>, lets you take full advantage of SPanel with any host.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Our thanks to SPanel for sharing their story!
