Why choose N99panel – There are multiple reasons. In brief, we will go throgh them one by one

Security – N99panel allows you to run containerized NodeJS & PHP apps/websites. This improves the security footprint to a large extent as the spillover effects of vulnerabilities and malwares etc. does not impact other apps/websites.   

No limit on number of Apps and Websites – Yes you heard it right. N99panel imposes no limit in number of apps or websites which you can setup inside it. Only consideration is for the hardware and resources used.

Performance – As N99panel uses Nginx. As it is an event driven web server, it is able to handle large number of concurrent requests. W.r.t. WordPress & PHP websites, when Varnish (a full page caching engine) is enabled, it makes serving WordPress & PHP websites extremely fast 

PHP – multiple versions  – PHP versions 5.6 to 8.4 are available. You can even cook your own PHP setup with the base version and choice of extensions.  Please checkout the documentation at https://docs.n99panel.com/doku.php?id=php to learn more about PHP

Containers, run anything  – N99panel comes with docker.  Infact N99panel uses containers to run PHP and NodeJS Apps.

Backup Tools – N99panel offers two tools with which you can backup your data. Remote backups (preferred approach) –  Please refer to this article for details – https://docs.n99panel.com/doku.php?id=gen:remote-backups .
