The three biggest differences
What you’ll notice first.
-
You pay for accounts, not domains
Each licence covers one server and is priced by hosting accounts. Domains are unlimited — your packages decide.
See pricing -
More of the server for your customers
A single compiled program that uses a fraction of the memory of traditional panels, on x86 or ARM.
Small VPS and ARM -
One hacked site stays one site
Every site runs in its own PHP jail with its own pool and limits — built in, not a paid add-on.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Short, straight answers to what people ask most.
Talk to the people who build ServerPanelX.
01How is ServerPanelX different from traditional control panels?
ServerPanelX is licensed by hosting accounts with unlimited domains, uses a fraction of the memory, isolates every site by default, and protects logins with post-quantum signatures and a login shield that never locks real owners out.
02Can I switch from my current control panel?
Yes. The migration wizard imports an account from a backup of your old panel — files, databases, email accounts and DNS zone — with a preview before anything is created.
03Is site isolation an extra cost?
No. Every site is isolated by default on every install, including the free trial — there is nothing extra to buy or set up.
04Does ServerPanelX run on ARM servers?
Yes. It runs on x86-64 and ARM64 servers and installs on either with the same one-line command.
05Can I try it before moving my customers?
Yes. Install it on a fresh server — the free trial includes every feature and up to 5 hosting accounts — and move accounts across only when you’re ready.
