VPSSIM is a script designed to streamline the setup and management of VPS or servers, automating and optimizing the LEMP stack (Nginx, PHP, MariaDB). It’s fully compatible with Intel, AMD, and ARM CPUs, as well as RHEL 8/9-based operating systems like AlmaLinux, RockyLinux, CentOS Stream, and Oracle Linux. True to its name—VPS SIMPLE—VPSSIM makes installing and managing a VPS remarkably straightforward. Even if you’re not comfortable with command-line interfaces, you can easily administer your server through its lightweight, intuitive, and user-friendly bash menu. VPSSIM equips you with all the essential tools to set up, manage, secure, and run multiple websites on a single VPS with ease.

Built as a bash script that only runs when invoked with the vpssim command, VPSSIM consumes virtually no CPU, RAM, or disk resources, delivering superior server performance compared to PHP-based control panels.

VPSSIM seamlessly supports popular PHP frameworks and platforms, including WordPress, Laravel, Magento, OpenCart, XenForo, Joomla, Drupal, and phpBB. It runs reliably on major cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, and Hetzner, as well as all VPS/server providers in Vietnam.

For those looking to repurpose an old computer as a server, VPSSIM offers a Cloudflare DDNS feature. This automatically updates your IP on Cloudflare whenever your home network’s IP changes, ensuring your website remains accessible without manual reconfiguration. This makes it a breeze to host a website, blog, or personal project from home without worrying about interruptions.

Command To Set Up
