## What it is
aaPanel is a free, web-based hosting control panel for Linux servers that lets administrators manage websites, databases, FTP, Docker, SSL certificates, and scheduled tasks through a graphical interface. It supports one-click LNMP/LAMP stack installation and offers a Pro tier with features like WAF, multi-user accounts, and a WordPress toolkit.

## Use cases
- manage a linux server through a web gui
- one-click install lnmp or lamp stack
- host multiple websites with ssl certificates on a vps
- manage mysql databases and ftp accounts from a browser
- set up a self-hosted wordpress site with backups
- run a hosting panel with docker deployment
- automate server maintenance with scheduled tasks

## When to choose
- you want a free, GUI-based alternative to manual server administration on Linux
- you need quick one-click deployment of Nginx/Apache, PHP, and MySQL environments
- you manage WordPress sites and want built-in setup, backup, and cloning tools
- you prefer a panel with an official Docker image for containerized hosting

## When to avoid
- you need a fully open-source panel with a permissive license - the repo has a custom license and pushes a paid Pro tier
- your server already has Apache/Nginx/PHP/MySQL installed, since aaPanel requires a clean OS
- you need non-Linux support - it targets Ubuntu 22+, Debian, CentOS, Rocky/AlmaLinux only
- you prefer infrastructure-as-code or CLI-only workflows over web GUIs
