On June 1, 2025, ispmanager will stop selling ispmanager business licenses. However, licenses that have already been purchased can still be used without any new conditions or restrictions, and they will remain active. Until June 1, 2026, the business plan will continue to receive updates and technical support.
Why have we decided to stop developing the business plan?
The reason for this decision is the architectural features of the business plan. These features have caused users of ispmanager business to wait longer for new features. Instead of maintaining a separate product with limited development, ispmanager focused on strengthening the lite line, turning the ispmanager host plan into a full-fledged alternative to business.
Today, host offers the key features of business, along with all the capabilities of the lite line, including support for Python, Node.js, and Docker.
Upgrading the host plan: What has changed?
The key features of ispmanager business have been moved to the host plan. Some of these features have also been added to lite and pro.

What should ispmanager business users do?
All active ispmanager business licenses will remain active. You can use them as before and renew them without restrictions.
If you want to try the new features of the host plan, you can easily migrate to it. To do this, install host on a new server and transfer your users using "Import User." Starting with ispmanager 6.119, you can transfer data from ispmanager 5 and 6 business using rsync. This method does not require backups and saves disk space.
The migration can be performed in stages: you install a host and place new users on it, while stopping the creation of new users on the business. This way, the load on the old servers will gradually decrease.
