Built for practical server operations

FastCP focuses on real workflows: launching sites, tuning PHP, handling SSL, managing databases, backups, and keeping systems stable.

Website management

Create websites quickly, map domains, configure document roots, and manage SSL/HTTP behavior with clean controls.

SSL status and force HTTPS

Get clear SSL readiness states and reasons, keep manual force-HTTPS control, and optionally auto-enable secure redirect when certificates are ready.

Per-site PHP settings

Configure memory limit, post/upload size, max execution time, and max input vars per website for predictable application behavior.

Multi-version PHP runtime

Install and switch PHP versions per site, with isolated PHP-FPM pools that run under each Linux user.

ACL-based tenant isolation

FastCP applies per-user ACL boundaries so if one website is compromised through an insecure plugin or theme, malware cannot access other users' website files.

Backups with restic

Schedule backups across all websites and databases per user, define retention, and restore selectively from snapshots.

Backend options

Support local, SFTP, S3, and advanced rclone backends. Validate setup and keep backup operations user-scoped.

Database operations

Create databases/users, reset database passwords, and open phpMyAdmin with secure control panel integration.

SSH and SFTP controls

Manage SSH keys, password auth status, SSH/SFTP connection details, and system-level SSH port updates.

Firewall from UI

Manage UFW status and rules with protections for critical ports including control panel access and baseline web traffic ports.

Performance presets

Tune Caddy, MySQL, and PHP behavior with balanced defaults and expert controls for high throughput or low RAM footprints.

User administration

Configure role-based users, resource limits, suspension, and secure admin impersonation with auditability.

Updater and release flow

Use cached update checks to reduce API rate-limit pressure, trigger manual checks, and apply updates with clear progress feedback.
