We’re Discontinuing ispmanager business
Starting June 1, 2025, we will no longer sell new ispmanager business licenses (but we’ll continue renewing and supporting existing ones). Below, we explain this decision and why the host plan now offers even richer opportunities for shared hosting.
Why Phase Out ispmanager business?
Users of ispmanager business had to wait longer than others for new features and updates due to the plan’s architecture. We want to change that.
Instead of maintaining a separate product with limited development potential, we’ve focused on the lite product line and evolved ispmanager host into a full-fledged solution for shared hosting.
Today, host includes all the key features of business plus the complete functionality of lite, including support for Python, Node.js, and Docker.
What’s Changing Exactly?
We have migrated key ispmanager business features to the host plan. Some features are also now available in lite and pro plans.
Feature | lite | pro | host |
| Advanced IP address management | - | - | + |
| Integration with IPmanager | - | - | + |
| Setting up panel access via domain name (nginx-proxy) | + | + | + |
| Outgoing email limits | + | + | + |
| Prefix policies for DBs, DB users, and FTP accounts | - | - | + |
| Reselling support | - | - | + |
| Server resource usage statistics | - | - | + |
| Technical domains support | - | - | + |
| Policies for domain name mixing, overselling, and handling auto-detected IPs | - | - | + |
| CloudLinux resource usage statistics | - | + | + |
| User resource consumption limits | - | - | + |
How Do the Plans Now Compare?
Below is an updated overview of how ispmanager lite, pro, and host differ:

| Policies for domain name mixing, overselling, and auto-detected IP handling | - | - | + |

What to Do Next?
We recommend switching to ispmanager host — a modern, flexible solution for shared hosting. It now offers all the capabilities of business, plus extra features like Python, Node.js, and Docker support.
Migration is simple:
- Install ispmanager host on a new server.
- Transfer users with the User Import tool.
Starting from ispmanager 6.119, users can transfer data from ispmanager 5 and 6 business versions via rsync. This method saves disk space and doesn't require creating backups.
Timeline for the Business Plan Phase-Out
Here’s the timeline:
- June 1, 2025: We will stop selling ispmanager business licenses.
- Until June 1, 2026: Updates and technical support for ispmanager business will continue.
- After June 1, 2026: Updates and technical support will be fully discontinued.
