Quick answer
Log in to a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 server (x86-64 or ARM64) as root and run the one-line install command. The installer sets up the web server, PHP, databases, mail and DNS, prints your SPX Manager address and login, and starts a free trial with every feature.
Key takeaways
- One command installs everything on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 server.
- Works on x86-64 and ARM64 — a small VPS with 1 GB RAM or more is enough.
- The free trial starts on its own: all features, up to 5 hosting accounts, no card.
- Enter a licence key later in SPX Manager — no reinstall needed.

Step 1: Prepare a fresh server #
Start with a clean Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or 24.04 LTS server. Don’t install over a server that already hosts sites — install on a fresh one and migrate the sites across instead.
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or 24.04 LTS, fresh install
- An x86-64 or ARM64 processor — 1 GB RAM or more recommended
- 5 GB free disk or more, plus space for your sites
- Root access over SSH and a public IP address
Step 2: Run the install command #
Sign in to the server as root and run the one-line install command shown on the Get started page.
The installer sets up the web server, PHP, databases, mail and DNS for you — there is no list of packages to install by hand.
Step 3: Sign in to SPX Manager #
When the install finishes, it prints your SPX Manager address and login details. Open the address in your browser and sign in to finish setting up the server.
Step 4: Create your first account #
Set up a hosting package, create an account and add a domain — or bring accounts over from your old panel with the migration wizard.
Step 5: Use the free trial #
Every fresh install starts a free trial with all features and up to 5 hosting accounts. There is no card and no sign-up — just install.
When the trial ends, the control panel pauses while your websites and email keep running. Buy a licence, enter the key in SPX Manager and carry on — no reinstall.
