FAQ

Common questions

ShadowPanel runs on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS. You need a fresh VPS with root access — any cloud provider works (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS, etc.).
Yes. The Free plan lets you manage up to 3 websites with the full panel. No credit card required. Paid plans unlock more sites and advanced features like Git deploy, Docker, and white-labeling.
You purchase a license here at shadowpanel.de. Inside your panel, enter your account email and the panel automatically detects your plan tier and unlocks the corresponding features.
Currently one license activates one panel installation. Agency plan customers can contact us for multi-server arrangements.
ShadowPanel is open-source, developer-first, and self-hosted. No per-domain fees, no vendor lock-in. It includes Docker and Git deploy out of the box, and is designed for modern PHP stacks — not legacy cgi-bin workflows.
Absolutely. Cancel from your dashboard at any time. Your plan stays active until the end of the billing period, then reverts to Free automatically.
