apnscp comes with Argos, the perfect decentralized monitoring solution. Argos monitors and repairs your server. If it detects a fault it sends a message to your phone. Spend more time traveling and less time worrying.
apnscp ships with a reflected API that exposes over 2,000 commands. Achieve everything within the panel from outside the panel – or just use Beacon, a CLI API companion.
apnscp is multi-tenant. Multi-tenancy allows you to host multiple sites managed by multiple users with isolation and resource containment for each account.
apnscp is built for real-world hosting, which is under constant threat from hackers. apnscp integrates rate-limited dynamic blacklists and permanent recidivism for persistent threats.
Everything works best with more memory, but apnscp is designed to run proficiently on 2 GB platforms by minimizing auxiliary processes and exploiting modern software.
Upstream caching is built into the web server. Just send the requisite "cache-control" headers and let the web server accelerate your content improving WordPress throughput by 24x.
apnscp utilizes Ansible playbooks to provide a powerful, consistent, and intuitive provisioning process. Once provisioned, apnscp takes over.
apnscp includes an easy-to-use unassisted migration tool. Use a supported DNS provider and apnscp will migrate your accounts between platforms with zero downtime.
apnscp works with RHEL and CentOS, with 10 year support lifecycles. Ubuntu LTS-based products only provide 5 years of ongoing support.
apnscp works great with Linode, DigitalOcean, Cloudflare, and more. Declare your DNS provider, set the API key, and that's it. Full DNS management within apnscp.
Users may roll out any version of Ruby, Python, Node, and Go within their account. Each version is private to their account.
Limit resources per-account using control groups, built into apnscp. Restrict memory consumption, assign CPU priority, and limit process counts.
apnscp playbooks are idempotent ensuring that it can be run multiple times to detect service anomalies. Munged something? Just run the playbook.
Argos is a collection of monitoring patterns developed over 16 years in hosting. Travel without worry. It fixes what it can and only alerts you during extremes.
Licenses are priced per server. Host as many domains as resources permit. No restrictions on usage.
apnscp is on sale for $159 per lifetime license to commemorate 3.0. Prices go up to $299 lifetime once 3.1 is released this Summer.
A single apnscp server can manage as many sites as resources permit. We've used apnscp to host over 1,250 domains on a 32 GB machine, but discourage this in favor of multiple small servers:
Apache is used to provide comprehensive compatibility and protection. For example,
Nginx has no comparable inherited rewrite facility that is used to
dynamically redirect
a variety of subdomain tiers unique to apnscp. Apache's Event MPM operates similar
to Nginx's event loop and in benchmarks is about 2 milliseconds slower.
A web site's chokepoint therefore is not the web server, but how congested a
server is from external threats. apnscp bundles
an enhanced mod_evasive module
that blocks abusive IPs across all virtual servers.
Nginx has a similar component but lacks granular control found with apnscp's mod_evasive release.
Support is separated into free community-driven and paid support. All licenses include 1 free bronze support request/year.
Community support includes forums and chat. It is the best way to get support in a public setting that benefits everyone else who might have a similar concern.
Paid support includes SLA response times as well as an emergency 1-hour turnaround with no blackouts. Support is priced per incident with 1 hour maximum time. Paid support plans are structured to keep licensing costs low, support quality high, and focus human resources on development. Support exists in absence of a good product. There is little incentive to make apnscp anything but an extraordinary product.
apnscp began as the control panel for Apis Networks in 2002. In fact, its name Apis Networks Control Panel reflects its heritage. Over the years it has grown and achieved in large part to customer feedback through our separate hosting outfit. Today that hosting company continues to serve as an internal testing environment for apnscp.
No refunds are provided. apnscp includes a 30-day free trial to evaluate the product.
