How to host local Club Penguin Private Server (CPPS) on Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3) thru play.localserver & Solero's Wand install.

I spent so long looking for a solution to this that I want to contribute what worked for me. I got so frustrated looking for something that worked, and I hope this guide will help others avoid that frustration.

This is NOT a guide on hosting or serving a CPPS. This is a guide on making a CPPS playable by locally hosting your server on your Silicon M1/M2/M3 Macbook. This worked on my M3 Macbook, and, in my experience, it seems the newer the hardware/operating system gets, the harder it is accomplish this.

DISCLAIMER *I do not know very much about this topic. I can paste commands into terminal and execute them, I know how to install DMG files I downloaded from the internet (the bar is in hell, I am aware), and I know how to enter play.localhost to run this in a browser. I am no expert; this guide is for beginners like myself who want a CPPS. This is beginner-level stuff. If you want advice or need help hosting, refer to the Wand Github page, Solero's Dash (an actual web-hosting solution for Houdini/Wand), Solero's discord, or, when in doubt, Google it. (I recommend only asking for help in Solero's discord for help AFTER trying your best to search for a solution, and even after that, trying to search key terms in their chat logs. They often have to repeat the same advice over, and over, and over again.)*

TLDR; IDK shit about shit

USING WAND INSTALLER

wand description from github: Wand makes it easy to configure dash, houdini and a media server utilizing docker & docker-compose.

All the assets are located here.

Installation instructions from the above link:

Installation script 1. run the script: bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solero/wand/master/install.sh) 2. Answer Questions which are: Database password (Leave blank for random password) Hostname (example: clubpenguin.com) (Leave empty for localhost) External IP Address (Leave empty for localhost) 3. Run and enjoy. Run this command: $ cd wand && sudo docker-compose up

The steps I took:

1. Install Docker via Terminal & Homebrew.

Installing the Docker DMG file did not work properly when I tried. I realized later that Docker is seperate from Docker Desktop (the DMG file). I got Docker to work by using Terminal to install Homebrew, and then using Homebrew to install Docker.

Indented text = paste into Terminal.

Command to install Homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Ensure Homebrew is installed:

brew --version

Install Docker:

brew install docker

Recommended: Install Docker Desktop (useful in determining if your server is running, stopped, or stuck in a restart loop).

brew install --cask docker

Run Docker Desktop:

open -a Docker

2. Run installation script:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solero/wand/master/install.sh)

From Github instructions:

Answer Questions which are:

Database password (Leave blank for random password)

Hostname (example: clubpenguin.com) (Leave empty for localhost)

External IP Address (Leave empty for localhost)

3. $ cd wand && sudo docker-compose up

This is what is provided in the Github. This command didn't work on Mac; I believe it's formatted for Linux OS. Here's how I broke it up and enabled it to run from Mac's Terminal.

Navigate to Wand directory:

cd wand

Double-check if you're in the right directory:

ls

Start Docker container:

docker-compose up

If the above doesn't work, try

docker compose up

or

brew install docker-compose

Takes a second...

Ensure Docker is running:

docker info

If it isn't, open the Docker Desktop application.

*After using compose up, this error may appear:*

WARN[0000] /Users/[user]/wand/docker-compose.yml: the attribute version is obsolete, it will be ignored, please remove it to avoid potential confusion

This is harmless. If you get annoyed by errors, this can be solved by:

nano docker-compose.yml

See Version 3.7 at the top? Delete that line.

Ctrl-X (NOT COMMAND-X) to exit, Y to save, Enter.

PLAY.LOCALHOST

Type http://PLAY.LOCALHOST into a browser.

Create a penguin.

Try logging in that penguin:

This step was agony. I'm not savvy with running obsolete or deprecated software, and, of course, Club Penguin (and Houdini/Wand's assest) uses Flash, which was discontinued, and timebombed by Adobe, in 2021.

I tried Ruffle. Club Penguin Journey uses Ruffle, so why can't I?

Running Ruffle in Firefox:

No luck.

In the Solero discord, they'll direct to this blog post:

This method does not work on Mac M1/M2/M3. The program is "out of date" and you cannot run it. It works on Macbook's running Sonoma and backward. I'm on an M3 running Sequoia.

they'll often post this video in the discord:

In theory, this method should work, and it does for many, but for whatever reason, not on my M3. I tried different versions of Ungoogled, I tried so many different patches of Pepperflash, and it never cooperated. I tried Pepperflash, I tried Fast Patch!, I tried dedicated Flash browsers, running Flash plugins for Pale Moon, Ungoogled, Waterfox, but I could never get past him.

Every time I see this stupid penguin's face I'm filled with rage. But I am going to save you that rage!!!

If you get this method to work, yay! I could not. Maybe I don't know enough about patching, maybe I'm a little tech stupid.

WHAT WORKED: Using a dedicated CPPS desktop application that allows you to plug in a URL.

I give you...

He is your solution, your answer to

I discovered this solution through Solero's Discord, when someone answered a question re: playing online.

Waddle Forever was not what I was looking forever, but I noticed in their credits:

The electron client is originally forked from the Club Penguin Avalanche client. The server is based in solero's works in reverse engineering the Club Penguin server (Houdini server emulator). The media server is also mostly from solero's media servers.

And that's how I found out the solution: Using CPA Client

Download the CPAvalanche Client

It runs Adode Flash x64. Easy peasy.

(the instructions are in Portuguese, but for English users:

Navigate to releases.

And download this one:

Once downloaded, open.

Drag into applications.

Run http://play.localhost through the client:

Open CPAvalanche Client. It will direct you to CPAvalance once loaded, but you're here because you want to play play.localhost.

Navigate to CPAvalanche Client next to your Apple. Click Mudar a URL do Club Penguin.

Press Sim.

URL: http://play.localhost

Ok.

Press Login once the page loads, and...

That's it! No more penguin! Have fun :)

Progress so far of mobile server (dev log)

So I was successful in turning my old phone into apache web server. The phone had some hardware issue that it always clicked on the screen randomly so I had to maneuverer my way installing Linux and apache into the phone. I had to set up proxies as well to connect to it with the open internet. So far it is working well. Sometimes I have to reroute the connections since it is running over mobile data? I am thinking of getting a dynamic DNS. But I have never tried dynamic DNS before so I am not ready to explore that yet. Plus, I don't know if I would get a static IP from it or a straight away domain name? I mean both are okay, but both have pros and cons of the usage.

Like if I get a static IP , I can run virtual hosts in apache and run multiple websites pointing A record of the domain to the same website.

And lets say if I get a subdomain from the dynamic DNS, I can point CNAME record of the domain to subdomain? But will virtual hosts work with it? I don't know. I suppose it should but it could not work also. Hmm.. lets see, I think I have done this before, apache virtual hosts works with CNAME.

But there is another issue that one of the website runs behind a SOCKS5 proxy, How will I accommodate that? The issue is that, since its Ubuntu running over VM over lineage OS in phone, I can't get low number ports such 80 or 443 so I have to somehow use Dynamic DNS and SOCKS5 proxy to redirect traffic at higher port number.

I mean, I still have oracle VPS running so I may not need virtual hosts in mobile server. So maybe I will venture this when I need it.

I am just wondering whether I should run Docker to run my game server then redirect the traffic with apache virtual hosts, reverse proxy with SOCKS5 proxy? I don't even know if it work. Theoretically it should work.

[Re]starting my self-hosting journey, and why

Day 80 - Jan 24th, 12.024

Yesterday I "woke" up my old computer as a server [again], now the fun part starts. But, why am I self-hosting?

Why self-host?

The short answer: for me, it's fun.

The long answer: to start, if you don't know what self-hosting means, here's a small explanation from our good old Wikipedia:

Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service using a private web server, instead of using a service outside of someone's own control. Self-hosting allows users to have more control over their data, privacy, and computing infrastructure, as well as potentially saving costs and improving skills. Source: Self-hosting (web services) - from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In summary, it's like if you used your computer to run something like YouTube, instead of connecting to the internet to use it. Self-hosting can be really advantageous if you care a lot about privacy, control of your data and how it's used, not only that, but if you're a developer, you know have a lot more power in customizing, tweaking and automating services and tools that you use. And because the data and code is on your own machine, you aren't locked-in into a cloud provider, website, yadda yadda. There are people who can explain this better than me, and nowadays self-hosting isn't that hard if you know a thing or two about computers.

Personally, I plan to use self-hosting for three reasons:

Privacy and data control, of course;

Network control, aka. Ad blockers in the hole home's network with something like Adguard Home and a private intranet with Tailscale;

And, the most useful, automation. I already talked about here and there, but I hope that I can automate my social medias, daily journal publications, and things like that using my home server, specifically with something like Gitea actions (or in my case, Forgejo actions).

Maybe something like federalization also, I don't know yet how hard it would be to self-host my own Mastodon or [insert another ActivityPub-compatible instance here] on my computer.

Something which I also plan to do is to run my own Invidious and other frontend-alternatives for myself, I already use public instances and pretty much de-googled my online life nowadays, so why not try self-hosting also? Maybe even open these instances to my friends? So they can also have more private alternatives? Or maybe I'm dreaming too much? Probably.

How to self-host?

If you're somehow interested about self-hosting after this amalgamation of an explanation, and do not know where to start, I would recommend taking a look at CasaOS or YunoHost, these give you an easy-to-use User Interface (UI) to manage your server and services. I tried both, CasaOS being what introduced me to self-hosting, alongside this video on how to install it on Linux and use it.

Nonetheless, this is my third try on self-hosting, because the two previous options didn't serve my current needs and also because I'm liking the idea of using NixOS, which is how I'm configuring my home-server now. And it is being kinda great to share common configuration and code between my desktop and home-server, without counting also the incomparable control of using it instead of the docker-based solutions I mentioned (but again, I wouldn't recommend using Nix in your first try of self-hosting, even less if you don't have any experience with it or programming in general).

I already have a Forgejo instance running now, and I hope that tomorrow I'm able to configure Adguard Home on it, since these are pretty much the two main reasons and purposes of this server. Also, Tailscale is also configured, pretty much just services.tailscale.enable = true, that's it.

I have to admit, I'm kinda loving NixOS more and more, and it's also making me love even more Linux in general. It's always great to learn and try something new. Hopefully in some days I will make a more detailed post about the hole system that I'm creating to myself, it's kinda scary and interesting the scale that this "productivity system" is taking.

☝️if i may tack on a few more options to some of these points,

level 3.2: network-level DNS fuckery on the go

DNS sinkholes like adguard home and pihole are great and all (and they don't just block ads! they can zap tracker domains too), but the one drawback is that, on their own, they can't be used outside of your home network. when you're on the go, your phone or laptop or what have you will still be at the mercy of ads and trackers outside of your browser.

enter VPN tunneling. this method creates a link between your device and the device running the sinkhole, allowing you to access its capabilities wherever you are. the best method for this is tailscale. it's simple to set up and easy to maintain, though if you're installing it on the linux command line (which you probably will be if you're setting it up on an SBC like a raspi) you'll have to familiarize yourself with the CLI guide. the full instructions and documentation are here for the initial setup, and the article for setting up DNS sinkholes with tailscale is here.

(a pretty specific note, but if you're setting this up in a system with trueNAS, make sure whatever sinkhole you choose is running in docker or whatever your container runner of choice is. dunno how true this holds up for other NAS/home storage + media server programs, but my dad had trouble getting them to run together until he put pihole in a container.)

level 6.2: fucking with android if you're scared of fucking up rooting (and have a phone with an unlockable bootloader)

no lie, rooting can be intimidating. like with any linux-based OS, there's a LOT you can fuck up if you do something wrong. ask me how i know [said as i jab a thumb to my hard drive that has linux mint on it]

another option, if your hardware is capable of it, is installing a third-party operating system. i currently have grapheneOS on my pixel 8a and it works fantastically. only downsides i've ran into is that google wallet doesn't work, networks i'm around regularly don't like the default 'change MAC address per connection' setting and getting RCS to work takes a bit of finagling, but otherwise it's worked very smoothly for me.

graphene is a privacy focused android distro that honestly does so goddamn much despite not feeling very different from normal android. namely, it restricts apps from having high-level system access to your OS and sandboxes google play services to prevent it from snooping behind the scenes. the whole features page can be perused here.

the one downside is that graphene is only available on pixel series phones, due to the fact that they're the biggest mainstream ones with unlockable bootloaders; this is a feature that's essential for securely installing a new OS onto a phone. calyxOS goes a bit further to support some motorolas, the upcoming shiftphone 8 and the fairphones alongside the pixel series. fairphones can even come with calyx preinstalled!

both of these OSes have easy to use web-based installers, though you do need to use a chromium browser for its web usb capabilities. there ARE other third party OS options out there, but graphene and calyx are the ones i'd recommend. ironic that the best way to get a degoogled phone is by using a pixel...

level 6.3: revanced is not just for youtube anymore

that's right, there's revanced patches for a plethora of apps now!! tumblr, spotify, reddit and more can have ads and other annoyances patched out with revanced manager. you can download and install it directly or use something like obtainium that'll install it on top of checking the repo for updates for you. it's a little confusing to use when you dive into it blind, so be sure to follow the documentation first.

i use revanced manager to rid tumblr, reddit, twitch and youtube of ads, as well as patch premium into spotify. much better than poking around for a pre-patched APK, that's for sure.

genuinely wild to me when I go to someone's house and we watch TV or listen to music or something and there are ads. I haven't seen an ad in my home since 2005. what do you mean you haven't set up multiple layers of digital infrastructure to banish corporate messaging to oblivion before it manifests? listen, this is important. this is the 21st century version of carving sigils on the wall to deny entry to demons or wearing bells to ward off the Unseelie. come on give me your router admin password and I'll show you how to cast a protective spell of Get Thee Tae Fuck, Capital

Staging on a VPS: Safely Preview Changes Before Going Live

🧪 How to Build a Staging Environment Using Your VPS

Safely test changes before going live — the smart way.

If you're running a website, web app, or SaaS project, you know the pain of broken layouts, buggy features, or downtime after updates. That’s where a staging environment comes in — a replica of your live website where you can test everything before going public.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up a reliable staging environment using your VPS hosting (ideal if you're hosted with VCCLHOSTING).

🧠 What Is a Staging Environment?

A staging environment is a testing ground — separate from your production (live) server — that simulates the real-world environment of your website or app. You can use it to:

Test design updates, new features, or plugin installs

Preview major code or content changes

Troubleshoot performance and security

Collaborate with your dev or QA team

Avoid downtime or user experience issues

🛠️ Why Use a VPS for Staging?

Using a VPS (Virtual Private Server) gives you:

Root access for full control

Dedicated resources (RAM, CPU)

Ability to isolate staging from live environment

Freedom to run multiple domains/subdomains or even container-based staging setups

💡 Tip: If you're using VCCLHOSTING, you can easily configure multiple environments on a single VPS or request an additional one at discounted rates for dev/testing purposes.

🧰 Tools You’ll Need

A VPS with Linux (Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS)

Web server: Apache or NGINX

PHP, MySQL/MariaDB stack (or your app’s language/runtime)

Optional: Git, Docker, cPanel, or phpMyAdmin

Domain/subdomain for staging (e.g., staging.yoursite.com)

🔧 Steps to Build a Staging Environment

1. Create a Subdomain or Separate Directory

Subdomain method: Set up staging.yourdomain.com in your DNS settings Point it to a new virtual host directory on your VPS

Folder method: Use a separate folder like /var/www/html/staging

✅ If you use cPanel or DirectAdmin (available on VCCLHOSTING), this can be done with a few clicks.

2. Clone Your Production Site

Manually copy your website files (via SFTP, rsync, or Git)

Export your live database and import it to a new one (e.g., staging_db)

Update configuration files:

Database credentials

Site URL paths (e.g., in WordPress: update wp-config.php and wp_options table)

3. Add Security

You don’t want Google indexing your staging site or hackers testing exploits.

Use .htpasswd to password-protect the staging directory

Block indexing via robots.txt

Restrict IP addresses if needed

Use HTTPS (let's Encrypt SSL or clone your live certificate)

4. Use Version Control (Recommended)

Set up Git to manage your staging deployments:

bashCopy

Edit

git clone https://github.com/yourrepo/project.git

This allows your devs to push to staging for testing before merging to live.

5. Test Your Changes in Staging First

Always use staging to:

Apply plugin/theme updates

Run database migrations

Test performance under simulated load

QA user flows, logins, carts, or contact forms

Once everything works in staging, deploy to live using:

Git-based CI/CD

Manual sync

Hosting control panel tools (e.g., Softaculous staging)

🤖 Bonus: Automate Staging with Docker or Containers

If you manage multiple apps, use Docker Compose or Kubernetes to quickly spin up isolated environments on your VPS.

Example with Docker Compose:

yamlCopy

Edit

version: '3' services: app: image: php:8.1-apache volumes: - ./code:/var/www/html ports: - "8081:80"

🛡️ Staging Environments with VCCLHOSTING

With VCCLHOSTING VPS, you get:

Full root access to configure staging as needed

Support for Linux or Windows environments

Optional cPanel/DirectAdmin for GUI-based staging

Local data center in Kolhapur for low-latency testing

Backup & restore tools to sync between live and staging

🧠 Final Thoughts

A staging environment isn’t just for big companies — it’s for anyone who cares about uptime, stability, and professionalism. Whether you're running a SaaS project or an eCommerce store, setting up staging on your VPS saves time, avoids downtime, and helps you launch with confidence.

Master DevOps Like a Pro: Learn Terraform, Kubernetes, Ansible & Docker in One Course

If you're dreaming of mastering DevOps and landing high-paying roles in tech, there's no better time than now to level up your skills. Whether you're a system admin, developer, or IT professional aiming to break into the DevOps world, the right tools and training make all the difference. What if you could learn the most in-demand DevOps technologies—Terraform, Kubernetes, Ansible, and Docker—all in one place?

Introducing the DevOps MasterClass: Terraform Kubernetes Ansible Docker—a complete, hands-on course designed to equip you with real-world skills that employers are actively searching for.

Let’s explore what makes this course so powerful and why it might just be the best decision you make for your tech career.

🚀 Why DevOps Is Changing the Tech Industry

Before we dive into the tools, let's quickly understand why DevOps is a game-changer.

Traditional software development and operations used to work in silos. Developers wrote the code, and operations teams handled deployments. The result? Slow, buggy releases and constant miscommunication.

DevOps breaks those silos—it's a culture, a set of practices, and a toolkit that enables teams to collaborate better, release faster, and maintain higher software quality. With major companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Google using DevOps pipelines, the demand for skilled DevOps engineers is skyrocketing.

🎯 What Makes This MasterClass Stand Out?

There are dozens of DevOps tutorials online—but here’s why this DevOps MasterClass: Terraform Kubernetes Ansible Docker truly stands out:

All-in-One Learning: Learn four top tools in one place—Terraform, Kubernetes, Ansible, and Docker.

Real-World Projects: Not just theory. You’ll work on projects that simulate real DevOps environments.

Beginner to Advanced: No matter your level, the course guides you step-by-step.

Lifetime Access: Learn at your own pace and revisit anytime.

Industry-Relevant Curriculum: Aligned with what companies actually use in production.

🧰 The DevOps Toolkit You’ll Master

Let’s break down the four core tools you'll be learning—and why each is so important for modern DevOps practices.

1. Terraform: Infrastructure as Code Made Easy

Imagine being able to create, manage, and scale infrastructure with just a few lines of code. That’s Terraform for you.

Instead of manually setting up cloud resources (which is time-consuming and error-prone), Terraform lets you define everything as code. Whether it’s AWS, Azure, or GCP, Terraform handles it with elegance.

You’ll learn:

How to write Terraform configuration files

Create and destroy cloud resources with ease

Build reusable infrastructure modules

Automate cloud provisioning

This part of the course helps you build the foundations of Infrastructure as Code (IaC)—a must-have skill in modern cloud environments.

2. Kubernetes: Container Orchestration Done Right

Kubernetes, often called K8s, is the gold standard for managing containers. If Docker helps you build and ship containers, Kubernetes helps you scale, manage, and monitor them in production.

In the course, you’ll cover:

Kubernetes architecture (pods, nodes, services)

Deploying applications using YAML

Scaling applications up/down automatically

Handling updates and rollbacks

Managing persistent storage and secrets

This is essential if you’re aiming to run apps at scale and work with microservices.

3. Ansible: Configuration Management Without the Hassle

Ansible makes IT automation simple. It allows you to configure servers, install software, and manage services with human-readable playbooks—no coding headaches.

What you’ll learn:

Writing and running Ansible playbooks

Automating server setups (Linux, cloud VMs, etc.)

Managing app deployments with Ansible roles

Integrating Ansible with CI/CD pipelines

This will help you automate repetitive tasks and maintain consistent environments—a crucial DevOps capability.

4. Docker: The Foundation of Modern DevOps

Docker changed everything. It made app packaging and deployment incredibly easy. Instead of “it works on my machine,” Docker ensures it works everywhere.

You’ll master:

Dockerfile creation and image building

Working with Docker Hub and registries

Networking and volumes

Docker Compose for multi-container apps

Best practices for image optimization and security

Docker is the first tool many DevOps learners start with—and in this course, it’s covered thoroughly.

🔄 How These Tools Work Together in a DevOps Pipeline

These four tools don’t work in isolation—they complement each other perfectly:

Docker packages the application.

Ansible automates the server environment.

Terraform sets up the infrastructure.

Kubernetes deploys and scales your Docker containers.

By mastering this combo, you’ll be able to build a robust, automated DevOps pipeline that mirrors real-world enterprise environments.

💼 Who Should Take This Course?

The DevOps MasterClass: Terraform Kubernetes Ansible Docker is ideal for:

Aspiring DevOps engineers looking to enter the field

System admins who want to automate and modernize infrastructure

Developers who want to understand deployments better

Cloud professionals who need to work across platforms

IT managers who want to upskill their team or shift into DevOps roles

If you’re passionate about learning and ready to commit, this course is your launchpad.

🧠 What You’ll Build (Hands-On Projects)

Unlike dry tutorials, this course emphasizes hands-on experience. Expect to build and manage:

Real-world infrastructure using Terraform on AWS

Scalable deployments on Kubernetes clusters

Automated software installation using Ansible

Containerized web applications with Docker and Docker Compose

These projects will fill your GitHub portfolio—and help you impress hiring managers or clients.

📈 Job Market Value of These Skills

Let’s talk money. According to Glassdoor and Indeed:

DevOps Engineers earn an average of $115,000 to $150,000 per year

Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and Ansible skills are listed in 80% of DevOps job posts

Many companies are looking for multi-skilled professionals who can handle everything from infrastructure to deployment

Learning all four tools gives you a major competitive edge.

🧩 What’s Inside the Course (Module Breakdown)

Here’s a sneak peek at the modules:

Introduction to DevOps & Tools Overview

Docker Basics to Advanced

Working with Docker Compose

Ansible Playbooks and Automation

Terraform Infrastructure Provisioning

Kubernetes Architecture & Deployment

CI/CD Integration with DevOps Tools

Project-Based Learning

Every module includes real-world examples, quizzes, and projects to test your skills.

🌐 Why Learn from This Course Instead of Free Tutorials?

It’s tempting to rely on YouTube or blogs for learning. But here’s what this paid course gives you that free resources don’t:

✅ Structured Curriculum ✅ Lifetime Access ✅ Community Support ✅ Expert Instructor Guidance ✅ Projects to Build Your Portfolio

Investing in a high-quality course isn’t just about information—it’s about transformation. You go from knowing a tool to mastering it with confidence.

✨ What Learners Are Saying

How Agencies Can Boost Performance and Security with VPS Hosting

🧩 Hosting for Agencies: Managing Multiple Client Sites on VPS

Why VPS Hosting is the Smart Choice for Web Design & Marketing Agencies

For creative agencies, web designers, developers, and digital marketers, managing multiple client websites efficiently — without downtime, performance issues, or high costs — is a challenge.

That’s where VPS hosting steps in.

Whether you manage 5 websites or 50, a Virtual Private Server (VPS) gives you the perfect balance of power, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, especially when compared to shared hosting or managing multiple hosting accounts.

Let’s break down why VPS hosting is the best fit for agencies, and how platforms like VCCLHOSTING help agencies grow faster with reliable hosting infrastructure.

⚙️ Why VPS Hosting Is Ideal for Agencies

✅ 1. Host Multiple Websites from a Single Dashboard

Instead of juggling dozens of shared hosting accounts, a VPS lets you:

Create multiple domains and subdomains

Isolate each client’s website

Use control panels like cPanel, DirectAdmin, or Webmin

Easily manage from a unified server dashboard

VCCLHOSTING VPS plans support multi-site management out-of-the-box with optional cPanel integration.

Configure performance modules (Redis, OPcache, GZIP)

Run scripts, CRON jobs, and staging environments

VCCLHOSTING VPS supports both Linux and Windows, so you can build in whatever stack your client needs.

✅ 4. Enhanced Security and Client Isolation

Each website can be configured in its own user environment, reducing the risk of one hacked site affecting the others.

Plus, with VPS, you can:

Install firewalls

Add SSL certificates for each domain

Enable malware scanners and IP restrictions

VCCLHOSTING includes DDoS protection, secure SFTP access, and optional firewall setups to keep your clients' data safe.

✅ 5. Scalable as Your Agency Grows

Need more resources? Just upgrade your plan — no migration required.

Scale:

RAM

Storage (HDD or NVMe SSD)

Bandwidth

CPU cores

Whether you start with 2GB RAM or 16GB+, VCCLHOSTING lets you scale vertically or horizontally as needed.

✅ 6. Centralized Email, Backup, and DNS Management

With VPS, you can:

Set up custom email addresses per client (e.g., info@clientsite.com)

Use automation tools like JetBackup, Acronis, or manual snapshots

Manage DNS settings for all domains from one place

VCCLHOSTING VPS plans offer built-in DNS and email features, or you can integrate your own tools.

🛠️ Bonus: Developer & Automation Friendly

Use Git, SSH, staging tools, and CI/CD pipelines to streamline your development.

Popular tools you can install:

💡 Who This Is For

Web Design Agencies

Digital Marketing Firms

SEO Agencies

Freelancers managing multiple websites

Software development firms building client portals

🏁 Final Thoughts

If you're still managing client websites across different shared hosting accounts, it's time to simplify, secure, and scale with VPS hosting.

A VPS solution like VCCLHOSTING not only gives you the performance and flexibility you need — but also local Indian support, instant scalability, and full control over your hosting environment.
