This page applies to the self-hosted version of AreaWP only. If you are on the hosted plan, the server is fully managed by the AreaWP team — no installation or server configuration is required on your end.

​
Panel Server Requirements

The AreaWP panel (the control dashboard) runs on a dedicated Linux server or VPS.

Minimum

1 vCPU · 1 GB RAM · 20 GB disk

Recommended

2 vCPU · 2 GB RAM · 40 GB disk

​
Supported Operating Systems

AreaWP is Linux only and requires a fresh, clean OS installation. Installing on a server that already has other software running (web servers, databases, control panels) may cause conflicts and is not supported.

​
Software (installed automatically by the installer)

​
Multi-Server Requirements

Connecting additional servers via the binary agent is exclusive to the Hosted plan. Self-hosted installations manage only the server AreaWP is installed on.
Each additional server you connect to AreaWP needs only the lightweight agent binary installed.
The agent is a single static Go binary (~15 MB) with no runtime dependencies. It runs as a systemd service.

​
Network Requirements

​
Panel Server Ports

​
Managed Server Ports

The agent connects outbound to the panel. No inbound rules need to be opened on managed servers for the agent.
