- GPLv2 free
Froxlor is a light, fully free GPLv2 panel from Germany — a PHP configurator with a strong reseller and limits model. BeAdmin shares the free, Debian‑friendly idea but ships an all‑in‑one stack, a modern UI, and a built‑in VPN. Below — where the two really differ.

−50%Xray, WireGuard, OpenVPN, Outline and Amnezia are modules in the same UI. Froxlor ships no VPN — you would build that part yourself outside the panel.
Froxlor generates vhost, PHP‑FPM and mail configs — a panel for admins who assemble the stack themselves. BeAdmin ships mail, webmail, backups, a file manager and a Docker module out of the box.
Froxlor 2.x has a reworked interface, but it still assumes you understand the stack. BeAdmin is a clean, modern UI with first‑class dark mode and a gentler onboarding.
BeAdmin runs from a 512 MB core; Froxlor asks for 1 GB minimum, 2 GB+ recommended. Both are native on Debian and Ubuntu, so the OS rarely changes.
Values pulled from each panel’s public docs. Both are free GPL; Froxlor is a light configurator with a strong reseller model, BeAdmin an all‑in‑one panel with a VPN — we mark each row plainly.
Xray, WireGuard, OpenVPN, Outline, Amnezia — turn any of them on with a single click. Froxlor has no VPN at all; you would build and maintain that part yourself outside the panel.
Froxlor manages configs — it generates vhost, PHP‑FPM and mail files for a stack you assemble yourself. BeAdmin ships mail, webmail, backups, a file manager and a Docker module ready to use, with WordPress one‑click.
Froxlor 2.x reworked its interface, but it still assumes you know the stack underneath. BeAdmin is a clean, modern UI with first‑class dark mode, so day‑to‑day tasks take fewer clicks to find.
BeAdmin starts on a 512 MB box; Froxlor asks for 1 GB minimum and 2 GB+ recommended. Both are native on Debian and Ubuntu, so the OS rarely has to change in a migration.
Both are free and open source; Froxlor is a light configurator with a strong reseller model, BeAdmin an all‑in‑one panel with a VPN. Synthesised from public docs and our own usage — your mileage may vary.
Both panels are free and open source — there is no price to compare. BeAdmin then bills only for the optional modules you switch on; Froxlor has no paid tier at all.
From 1 €/mo. Enable only what you need, disable any time — no per‑account fee. The VPN family lives here.
open source, GPLv2
Froxlor is fully free with no Pro version — there is nothing locked behind a paywall. It is funded by hosters and donations rather than a paid edition.
Froxlor is GPLv2, free from froxlor.org (2026). BeAdmin module pricing from beadmin.com.

Froxlor usually runs on Debian or Ubuntu, so the OS stays. The old panel stays up until you retire it; the move is a manual transfer, done at your pace.
One apt command brings up the free BeAdmin core. Froxlor already runs on Debian or Ubuntu, so you reuse the same OS family — no fresh distro needed.
Froxlor stores configs in its database and generates them, so the structure differs. Transfer vhosts, databases (mysqldump) and mailboxes manually or with your own scripts — BeAdmin does not import Froxlor setups directly.
Move DNS zones over and flip DNS when you are comfortable. If anything looks off, revert DNS to the old server — the rollback is just one record change.
Both are free and open source, so it is not about price. BeAdmin is an all‑in‑one panel — mail, webmail, backups, file manager and a Docker module out of the box — plus five built‑in VPN protocols and a modern UI. Froxlor is a light configurator with a strong reseller and limits model; if that fits how you work, it is a fair reason to stay.
No. Froxlor ships no VPN — you would install and maintain one yourself outside the panel. BeAdmin turns on Xray, WireGuard, OpenVPN, Outline or Amnezia from the same UI with a single click.
Neither panel manages PostgreSQL today. Froxlor supports only MySQL and MariaDB; BeAdmin supports the same and has PostgreSQL on the roadmap as a managed module. So this is parity for now.
Froxlor’s backup feature is historically limited and basic. BeAdmin ships scheduled backups out of the box. If backups matter to you, that is a genuine BeAdmin advantage — but check Froxlor’s current 2.x state too, as it is actively developed.
Not directly. BeAdmin has no native importer for Froxlor, which stores its configs in a database, so sites, databases, mail and DNS move over manually or with your own scripts. We would rather say that plainly than promise compatibility we do not have.
The panel core is free. Pay only for the modules you connect.
