Vesta is an open-source and free server control panel

Pay attention!

Support for Vesta CP has been discontinued, and the last update was released on September 29, 2019. As an alternative, we recommend using Hestia CP. Hestia CP is a fork of Vesta CP, which is actively supported and updated by developers.

Vesta CP is one of the popular server Linux-based control panels. It allows you to work with sites, mail, and databases, manage updates, and much more through a simple and easy-to-use web interface.

Pay attention!

Standard components of the panel are quite demanding of resources, so we recommend choosing a configuration with the right amount of RAM. Detailed information about the required amount of RAM can be found in the Vesta CP official documentation.

The Vesta CP for Linux is suitable for users who are interested in a simple way to deploy a website on a VPS without the need for administrative skills.

The Beget VPS with pre-installed Vesta CP is a ready-to-use and fully configured web hosting control panel on your virtual server.

How can I change the version of PHP for the Vesta CP?

By default, the server is set to PHP version 7.2.

If you need a different version, you should:

connect to the server via SSH;
add the php repository to the system with the commands curl "http://public-mirrors.beget.ru/apt/ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu/public_bionic.key" | apt-key add - and echo "deb http://public-mirrors.beget.ru/apt/ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu/ bionic main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/beget_ondrej_ppa.list;
update the list of packages available for installation with the apt update command;
install the desired version of php, the necessary modules, and the module apache2 for the desired version of php with the command apt install php5.6 libapache2-mod-php5.6 php5.6-curl php5.6-gd
(where php5.6 is php version 5.6, libapache2-mod-php5.6 is apache2 module, php5.6-curl php5.6-gd are php modules; the final list of modules may be more or less, depending on your site requirements and php version);

turn off the module of the current version of php for apache server with the command a2dismod php7.2;
turn on the module of the new version of php for apache with the command a2enmod php5.6;
