Self-hosted license

Run ISP Boost on your own server

Install the full platform on any Ubuntu VPS or hardware you control - anywhere in the world. One license per server, priced by size, no monthly fee. You own the machine, the database and every byte of customer data on it.

Why self-host

Full control, no recurring platform fee

Self-hosting makes sense the moment you want to own your infrastructure outright, or your monthly volume makes a yearly license cheaper than a per-user cloud bill.

You own the data

Every subscriber record, invoice and session log lives on hardware you control. Nothing leaves your network unless you send it there.

No monthly bill

Pay once a year per license tier instead of a recurring per-user cloud fee. At scale, self-hosting is usually the cheaper long-term option.

Run it anywhere

A closet server, a colo rack, or any cloud VPS provider on the planet. Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 is the only requirement.

Every tier is the full product

No feature is locked behind a higher self-hosted tier. Plans differ only by user and NAS/router allowances.

Automatic, safe updates

A daily check pulls new releases, verifies them by checksum, backs up first, and rolls back automatically if a post-update health check fails.

Stays online if the license lapses

Forget to renew? The panel goes read-only after a grace period - RADIUS authentication and your customers' internet access are never interrupted.

How it works

Live in minutes, not days

Install with one command

Run the installer on any fresh Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 box - your own hardware or a VPS from any provider. It sets up the panel, FreeRADIUS, queue and scheduler.

Add your license

Start on the free 3-month plan or paste a license key - upgrade anytime from the panel, no reinstall required.

Point your NAS

Add your MikroTik (or any RADIUS NAS) with the shared secret the installer generated. Authentication works immediately.

FAQ

Self-hosted, answered

Where can I install ISP Boost self-hosted?

Any fresh Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 server - a machine in your own office, a rack at your NOC, or any cloud VPS provider anywhere in the world. You own and control the box; we just license the software running on it.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free tier runs for 3 months with up to 50 users and 2 NAS/routers, with every feature included - not a stripped-down trial. Install with one command, no card required.

What happens when my license expires?

The panel keeps working through a short grace period, then goes read-only until you renew. RADIUS authentication is never interrupted - your customers stay online the entire time, even if the panel itself is temporarily locked.

Do I get updates?

Yes, automatically. A daily check looks for a new release; updates are verified by checksum, backed up before applying, and roll back automatically if a health check fails after the swap. You can also trigger an update on demand from the License page.

Can one server handle multiple locations or routers?

Yes. One FreeRADIUS instance authenticates every MikroTik, Cisco, Ubiquiti or other RADIUS-capable NAS you point at it, and the same customer logins and vouchers roam across every location - no per-router charge, no separate install per site.
