Hosting accounts

In Reqad, you create one hosting account per domain. Each account gets its own system user, home directory, isolated PHP-FPM pool and web-server configuration.

Create an account

1. Go to Accounts → Create account.
2. Enter the domain name. If you have configured nameservers under DNS Settings and the domain's nameservers are set correctly at your registrar, the DNS records are created automatically. If you prefer to manage DNS yourself, make sure the domain's DNS records point to this server.
3. Choose the PHP version for the account.
4. Optionally tick Add DNS and Create Let's Encrypt certificate.
5. Submit - Reqad provisions the user, vhost and PHP-FPM pool.

Manage accounts

• Search and paginate the accounts list.
• Edit an account to change its PHP version, handler or home size.
• Enable or disable email per account.
• Delete an account to remove its user, vhost, databases and mail.

Alias domains

An account can serve more than one domain. Alias domains are supplementary domains that point at the same account as the main domain - they share the same document root, configuration files and PHP-FPM pool, and serve the same site.

• Add one or more alias domains to an existing account from its edit page.
• Every alias resolves to the same home directory and vhost as the main domain.
• Include aliases when issuing a Let's Encrypt certificate so all domains are covered.

This is handy whenever several domains should serve one site - for example a multisite WordPress install where each network site answers on its own domain while sharing a single codebase.

PHP version per account

Each account can run a different PHP version. See getting started for the available versions, and switch any time from the account's edit page.
