Froxlor is a multilingual server management panel for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who want to provide their customers with a web interface to manage email addresses, domains , FTP and more.
history
The project emerged from the SysCP project and was founded as a fork on February 1, 2010 by former members of the SysCP team . The developers are still following the principle of providing high-performance software that is both freely available and meets individual system requirements. The program code is open source and published under the GNU GPL 2.0 license .
In contrast to the frozen SysCP project, Froxlor not only includes fixes for known errors from SysCP, but also offers many additional features. In addition to usable configuration templates in the administration interface for server services, further instructions and patches for additional software installations such as ClamAV , Spamassassin , Mailman and many more are available in the Froxlor forum and wiki .
Functions
Froxlor offers a multi-level user system in which administrators, resellers and customers can be created and managed. By dual stack the created domains via IPv4 and IPv6 are made accessible can. Limits can be set per customer as to how many subdomains, e-mail accounts, FTP accounts or MySQL databases they can use. Furthermore, Froxlor offers the configuration of SSL certificates, advanced configurations for PHP and Perl, the creation of FTP users and MySQL databases, as well as quota management.
