# Single Server Edition

Welcome to the PanelAlpha Single Server Edition documentation.

Single Server Edition is designed for teams that manage WordPress hosting on one Linux server. It combines a client-facing interface (Client Area) with administrator tooling (Admin Area) in one deployment.

Use it to provision WordPress sites, manage hosting resources, monitor activity, and control platform-level policies without switching between separate systems.

Fast WordPress provisioning and import workflows
Instance operations: staging, local backups, monitoring, plugins, and advanced settings
Hosting toolkit: domains, FTP/SFTP, MySQL, cron jobs, and file manager
Admin controls for users, services, plans, migrations, logs, and notifications
Integration support for SSL automation, analytics, preview URLs, and more

# System Requirements

Debian 12/13 or Ubuntu 22.04/24.04
Root SSH access
Minimum 4 GB RAM (recommended more for production workloads)
Open inbound ports: 80, 443, 8443, 8444
