Getting Started with Webuzo

Webuzo is a single-user web hosting control panel built for developers and small teams who want a simple interface without the overhead of multi-account panels like cPanel. It's ideal for self-hosting applications, development environments, or running a personal server. This guide covers how to access Webuzo and how to install and manage your first application.

Logging into Webuzo

Webuzo has two interfaces:

Interface	URL	Purpose
Enduser Panel	https://YOUR_SERVER_IP:2002	Website files, email, databases, apps
Admin Panel	https://YOUR_SERVER_IP:2004	Server config, PHP versions, services

Log into both with the admin credentials from your RemarkableCloud welcome email.

Access via domain

After pointing your domain at the server, you can access Webuzo at `https://yourdomain.com:2002` and `https://yourdomain.com:2004` instead of using the IP address directly.

Dashboard overview

The Enduser Panel dashboard shows:

• Hosted domains and their document roots
• One-click app installers (Softaculous)
• File Manager, FTP, email, and database tools
• Resource usage (disk, bandwidth)

The Admin Panel controls server-level settings:

• PHP version and extension management
• Web server configuration (Apache/LiteSpeed)
• Service start/stop (Apache, MySQL, DNS, FTP)
• SSL certificate management
• Update and maintenance tools

Adding your first domain

1. Log into the Enduser Panel at port 2002.
2. Go to Domains → Add Domain.
3. Enter the domain name and set the document root path (e.g. /home/username/public_html/yourdomain.com).
4. Click Add. Webuzo creates the directory and configures the virtual host in Apache.

ℹ

DNS propagation

The domain needs to be pointed at your server's IP before visitors can reach it. Update your domain's A record to your server IP and wait for DNS propagation (up to 24 hours).

Installing apps with one click

Webuzo includes Softaculous — a one-click installer for 400+ web applications including WordPress, Joomla, Magento, PrestaShop, Laravel, and more.

1. From the Enduser Panel dashboard, click Softaculous Apps Installer.
2. Browse or search for the app you want to install (e.g. WordPress).
3. Click Install on the app page.
4. Select the domain and directory (leave blank to install at the root).
5. Set your admin username, password, and site name.
6. Click Install. Softaculous creates the database, extracts files, and configures the app automatically.
7. Click the admin URL in the success message to log into your new application.

File Manager

The built-in File Manager lets you manage website files without FTP:

1. Go to Files → File Manager
2. Navigate to your domain's document root
3. Upload files by dragging and dropping or using the Upload button
4. Edit text files (HTML, PHP, CSS, config files) directly in the browser editor
5. Set file permissions with right-click → Change Permissions

Database management

Webuzo uses phpMyAdmin for database management:

Creating a database

1. Go to Databases → MySQL Databases
2. Enter a database name and click Create Database
3. Create a user under MySQL Users, set a password
4. Assign the user to the database with All Privileges

Accessing phpMyAdmin

Go to Databases → phpMyAdmin — log in with your MySQL user credentials.

Email accounts

1. Go to Email → Add Email Account.
2. Enter the email address and set a password.
3. Set a storage quota.
4. Click Add.

Access webmail at https://yourdomain.com/webmail or configure any IMAP email client:

Setting	Value
IMAP server	Your server hostname or IP
IMAP port	993 (SSL)
SMTP server	Your server hostname or IP
SMTP port	587 (STARTTLS)

SSL certificates

Webuzo supports free Let's Encrypt certificates:

1. Go to SSL → Let's Encrypt
2. Select the domain
3. Click Issue Certificate
4. Webuzo requests and installs the certificate automatically
5. Certificates renew automatically before expiry

For wildcard certificates or manual installs, go to SSL → SSL Manager.

PHP version management

From the Admin Panel (port 2004):

1. Go to PHP → PHP Configuration
2. Select the PHP version to use server-wide
3. To install additional PHP versions, go to PHP → PHP Versions and install the ones you need
4. Switch the active version per your requirements

⚠

Single-user panel

Webuzo is a single-user panel — it manages one server for one owner. If you need to host sites for multiple independent clients with their own logins, consider cPanel, DirectAdmin, or RemarkablePanel instead.

FTP access

To create FTP accounts:

1. Go to FTP → Add FTP Account
2. Set a username, password, and home directory (restrict to a specific domain's folder)
3. Click Add

Connect with any FTP client (FileZilla, Cyberduck) using:

• Host: your server IP or hostname
• Port: 21 (FTP) or 22 (SFTP)
• Username/Password: the FTP account you created
