Resource Requirements

Froxlor is one of the lightest panels available — it runs smoothly on a 512 MB RAM VPS. The panel itself is a PHP application, so the overhead is minimal compared to cPanel or Plesk.

Adding a Customer Domain

2. Go to Customers → Add Customer
3. Set resource limits (domains, email accounts, disk space)
4. The customer can then add domains from their panel
