Introduction

LarVPS is a lightweight control plane for running real sites on your own VPS without turning infrastructure into a second job.

The product is built around one simple idea:

Site first, not panel first

Section titled “Site first, not panel first”
  • You connect a server once.
  • You create and manage sites from the dashboard.
  • DNS, SSL, backups, and deploy flows stay close to each site.
  • Advanced server tools stay available, but out of the way until you need them.

If you are new to server management, LarVPS is designed to tell you the next safe step instead of forcing you to translate infrastructure concepts on your own.

What you do in LarVPS

Section titled “What you do in LarVPS”

Most teams follow this loop:

  1. Open cloud.larvps.com
  2. Add a server
  3. Wait for the server to show as connected
  4. Add a site
  5. Point DNS or let Cloudflare create the record for you
  6. Issue SSL when the domain is ready
  7. Return to the same site later for backups, deploys, domains, and access tools

What LarVPS manages for you

Section titled “What LarVPS manages for you”
  • Server connection and heartbeat
  • Nginx and site vhosts
  • PHP-FPM and common PHP runtimes
  • SSL issuance and renewal
  • Site backup orchestration
  • Access tools such as file manager and database manager

What still belongs to you

Section titled “What still belongs to you”

LarVPS assists, but the operator still owns the decision:

  • You choose the VPS provider
  • You choose the domain
  • You decide whether a DNS record should be created or overwritten
  • You decide when a redirect, alias, or destructive action is appropriate

That is why the UI calls out warnings and next steps clearly instead of hiding them.
