Features

localnode servers are powered by LAMP, which stands for: 'Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python'.

As a localnode customer, you'll receive access receive access to cPanel, your very own website control panel. cPanel is a widely-known piece of software that allows you to manage your website, your email accounts and even your domain - quickly and easily. At localnode we love cPanel, because whether you're a beginner or a more advanced user cPanel gives you the freedom to do incredibly powerful things with your website.

All of our plan bundles include FREE Softaculous. Softaculous is an incredibly useful piece of software that allows you to install over 100 scripts with just the touch of the button. That's true 'one-click' installation. At localnode we believe that it is currently the best auto-installer available.
