Appearance

Admin Panel ​

The admin panel is where you run the server: the hosting accounts on it, the mail it sends, the certificates it serves, and every setting behind them.

The sidebar is eleven groups, each covering one subject. Open a group and you are already in the right part of the panel; everything you configure sits under Settings, grouped by what it configures.

Coming from an older panel? Every old address redirects permanently to its new location, so nothing you saved stops working. The guide for panels before 1.8.0 stays available under /1.7/ through the version picker in the top navigation.

The eleven groups ​

GroupWhat it covers
DashboardServer load, what needs attention, recent activity, and quick actions.
CustomersHosting accounts, resellers, and the packages they are sold under.
BackupsBackup repositories per account, with their runs, restores, destinations, and policies.
EmailMail services, mailboxes, the queue, sending limits, and blacklists.
SSLInstalled certificates and every attempt to issue one.
HealthProblems that need attention across the server, with metrics and DNS domain health.
ClusterHub mode: the servers attached to this panel and the zones and accounts across them.
AgentsThe Bolt Agent and AI Agent connections this panel uses to reach the server.
LogsThe activity log, and every system log as a tab of one page.
ModulesOptional functionality: install it, update it, or remove it.
SettingsEvery configuration screen, grouped by subject.

The eleven groups are always there. A module adds its own screens once it is installed and takes them away when it is removed, and those screens land inside Settings: LiteSpeed and OpenLiteSpeed management under Web Server, and JetBackup, CloudLinux, Softaculous, and Watchdog under Tools. The logs a module brings become tabs of the Logs page.

Screens that are not in the sidebar ​

A few screens answer at their own address without appearing in the navigation. They are reached from another page, or by typing the address.

  • Changelog (/admin/change-log) - opened from the version number at the bottom of every page.
  • Rspamd Admin (/rspamd-webui/) - opened from the Email page header.
  • Security Scan (/admin/settings/security-scan) - a Settings screen under Security.
  • Linux Packages (/admin/settings/linux-packages) - a Settings screen under System.
  • Profiles - this screen no longer exists. Apache profile behaviour is configured under Settings > Web Server > Apache.
