SPanel manages a hosting VPS the way cPanel does: per-account isolation, domains and sub-domains as Apache vhosts, mailboxes via Exim/Dovecot, MySQL databases, backups and per-account usage statistics.
For administrators, panel structure is what makes deep monitoring possible: standard paths for vhost configs, per-domain logs and usage snapshots mean tooling can discover accounts and attribute load, traffic and mail per customer automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Is SPanel compatible with cPanel conventions?
Conceptually yes — accounts, vhosts, per-domain logs — though exact paths differ. Tools built for panel servers detect the layout on connection.
Does SPanel require a license like cPanel?
SPanel is ScalaHosting’s own panel bundled with their managed VPS plans — no separate per-account license pricing like cPanel’s.
