Getting Started with ionPanel
Deploying the industry's most efficient control panel is a single-command process.
Licensing & Registration
Before running the installer, visit the ionPanel Store to secure your license. Our licensing system is IP-based; simply register your server's Public IP or FQDN during checkout. Once purchased, your server is automatically authorized—no install keys required.
The One-Line Installer
Connect to your server via SSH or cloud console (as root or a user with sudo privileges) and execute the following command:
curl -fsSL https://ionpanel.com/downloads/install.sh | sudo bash
The installer will automatically detect your OS, verify your license, and deploy the ionPanel software.
Seamless Migrations
Moving from cPanel?
ionPanel includes a powerful, automated migration tool. If the installer detects an existing cPanel environment, it can perform a full conversion, migrating users, databases, and configurations directly into ionPanel with minimal downtime.
