What size do you need for FASTPANEL?
FASTPANEL's site lists a minimum of 1 GB of RAM, one 1 GHz CPU core and 5 GB of free disk. Our real-server test passed with 1 GB, 1 CPU and 20 GB, and this install starts there. As a rule of thumb, use 1 GB for one small site, 2 GB for a few sites with email and 4 GB for many sites. You can grow RAM, CPU and disk separately from your Seturack panel.
| Use | Size | Price | Choose |
|---|---|---|---|
| New site | 1 GB RAM · 1 vCore · 25 GB NVMe | $2.58/mo | |
| Growing site | 2 GB RAM · 1 vCore · 40 GB NVMe | $4.01/mo | |
| Busy site | 4 GB RAM · 2 vCore · 60 GB NVMe | $6.89/mo |

Good to know
- The license step is yours and sits between you and FASTPANEL.
- The Standard license is free. Built-in Node.js support and monitoring need the paid Extended license, which you'd pay FASTPANEL for, not Seturack.
- Port 8888 is open to everyone at first. Under Settings, Firewall, you can limit it to your own IP address.
- Extras such as the DNS server, webmail and spam filtering are switched on from the Applications menu. The install doesn't turn them on for you.
- Your Seturack panel keeps showing the install password. If you change it, keep the new one safe yourself.
- Updating your sites, PHP and the panel is your responsibility. To send email, open port 25 on the Firewall Rules screen in your Seturack panel.
FASTPANEL questions and answers
Is FASTPANEL free?
Yes. FASTPANEL's Standard license is free for end users and hosting providers, including commercial use. Paid options like Extended are optional and aren't part of your server price.
How do I get a FASTPANEL license?
The panel asks for a license at first sign-in. Enter your email address and the license details arrive there, or use your own key if you have one. Seturack charges no license fee.
How much RAM does FASTPANEL need?
The official minimum is 1 GB of RAM, one 1 GHz CPU core and 5 GB of free disk. We tested this install with 1 GB and 20 GB. As sites and mailboxes grow, you can scale up from your Seturack panel.
How do I choose a PHP version and mode in FASTPANEL?
Add versions from PHP 5.3 to 8.5 through the Applications menu, though some depend on the operating system. Each site's settings let you pick Apache module, PHP-FPM, FCGI or CGI mode.
Does FASTPANEL run Node.js?
The panel's built-in Node.js support needs the paid Extended license. On the Standard license you can still install and run Node.js yourself over SSH, because root access is yours.
How do I log in to FASTPANEL?
The panel opens over HTTPS on port 8888, and the username is fastuser. The address and password are on your Seturack panel's Overview tab. Your browser warns about a self-signed certificate, and you can continue.
Can I create email accounts in FASTPANEL?
Yes. Create a mailbox under Management, Mail. For webmail, turn on Roundcube from the Applications menu. Your domain also needs MX and SPF records.
