Trial period – how to try ispmanager for free

When you install ispmanager for the first time, you get two weeks free. To do so, just order a trial version of the panel. Please note that you can only install ispmanager on a given IP address once.

It is easy to order the trial version. Fill out the form – enter your name, contact details, country, and set a password. This will be needed to access the client area where you can manage your services.

Select the lite, pro, or host version. ispmanager is designed to be installed on a single server to manage all its websites, databases, mail, and web applications.

In the drop-down list, there is also the ispmanager business option. This is a separate product designed for hosting providers. Its main feature is the ability to manage a cluster of servers. ispmanager business differs significantly from other versions of ispmanager both architecturally and functionally. In this article, we will not dwell on these differences. You can read more about ispmanager business in the ispmanager documentation.

During the trial period, there will not be any restrictions on how you can use the product, just a time limit of 14 days which starts from the date of ordering. Therefore, we recommend that you install and activate ispmanager immediately. You will receive an email with info on how to activate it.

You can continue to use ispmanager after the trial period ends. To do so, purchase and activate a license. We will discuss how to choose and purchase a license below.

So you tried ispmanager and want to stick with it? Great! We have three basic versions: lite, pro, and host. They differ in their maximum number of sites and whether they offer Docker. Choose the one that suits you.

Differences between ispmanager versions

Lite Up to 10 domains For one or more projects
Pro Up to 50 domains. Includes Docker support For an average number of projects
