Control Panel and OS Compatibility

This article will help you learn about some control panels and their compatibility with various OS.

Using a web hosting control panel is a great method of managing your various hosting processes and infrastructure. Web hosting control panels allow you to control and customize your server services.

While choosing a user-friendly web hosting control panel according to your requirements, it is also very important to consider such factors as:

  • Intuitive, easy-to-navigate user interface.
  • Scaling the control panel according to your business needs to effectively manage multiple websites, databases, and email accounts.  
  • Hosting control panel compatibility with the operating system (OS) of your choice. 

The key factor is the compatibility of the hosting control panel with your chosen OS. Different control panels support different operating systems. Therefore, it is very important to choose a control panel that is fully compatible with your server OS.  

In this section, we have presented for you a table of compatibility of VPS (Virtual Private Server) and Dedicated Servers control panels with different OS:
