# Cloud server with Fastpanel

Fastpanel is a web hosting control panel that simplifies the process of hosting and managing websites. With it, you can quickly create websites, manage databases, mailboxes, SSL certificates, PHP versions, and files without deep knowledge of Linux console commands.

You can [create a cloud server with Fastpanel](#create-cloud-server-with-fastpanel). The application runs on a cloud server with the Ubuntu 24.04 operating system pre-configured.

Before creating a cloud server with the application, read the [software license agreements](https://423.selcdn.ru/kb/license-agreements-for-application-images-LANG.pdf) included in the image.

## Create a cloud server with Fastpanel \{#create-cloud-server-with-fastpanel}

For Fastpanel to work, the cloud server must be accessible from the internet. To do this, when creating a server, create a private subnet and connect a public floating IP address. To set up Fastpanel, specify the application parameters when creating the server.

After the server with Fastpanel is created, a free [TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt®](/certificates-manager/certificates/lets-encrypt.mdx) will be automatically issued for the domain you specify. To issue the certificate, add an A record for the domain and specify the server's public floating IP address as the record value. You can add the domain to [Selectel DNS Hosting (actual](/dns-hosting/)).

1. [Create a public floating IP address](#create-floating-ip).

2. [Add an A record for the domain](#add-a-record).

3. [Create a cloud server with Fastpanel](#create-fastpanel-server).

### 1. Create a public floating IP address \{#create-floating-ip}

Create a public floating IP address so that the cloud server with Fastpanel is accessible from the internet.

Use the [Create a public floating IP address](/cloud-servers/cloud-networks/public-floating-ip-addresses.mdx#create-public-floating-ip) section of the guide [Public floating IP addresses](/cloud-servers/cloud-networks/public-floating-ip-addresses.mdx).

### 2. Add an A record for the domain \{#add-a-record}

[Add a resource record](/dns-hosting/records/add-record.mdx) to access Fastpanel by domain.

Specify:

* [resource record type](/dns-hosting/records/add-record.mdx#record-types) in the group — A;
* record value — the public floating IP address that you [created in step 1](#create-floating-ip).

### 3. Create a server with Fastpanel \{#create-fastpanel-server}

<CreateServer AppNameInPanel="Cloud Fastpanel" MinConfig="4 vCPU, RAM starting from 8 GB and a boot disk size starting from 20 GB for 500 users and less" OptionalVolumes="Optional: add an additional" VolumeSize="Specify the size of the network disk in GB or TB">
  4. Fill in the application parameters:

     4.1. Enter the administrator password to log in to Fastpanel. You cannot set the username to access the panel; it is fixed — `fastuser`.

     4.2. In the **Fastpanel domain** field, enter the domain to access Fastpanel that you [added in step 2](#add-a-record).
