Use cases

Why builders choose
Cloudzy's Zentyal Server Hosting.

Domain controller

Zentyal implements Samba AD to provide Active Directory-compatible domain services. Join Windows, macOS, and Linux workstations to the domain. Manage users, groups, and GPOs.

Email server

Zentyal includes Postfix and Dovecot integrated with the directory. Create email accounts that sync with AD logins. Includes webmail, spam filtering, and virus scanning.

File shares with AD auth

Set up network shares that authenticate against the Zentyal domain. Users log in with their AD credentials and see their mapped drives, same experience as Windows Server.

VPN for remote offices

Zentyal includes OpenVPN integrated with the domain. Remote workers connect and authenticate with their AD credentials. No separate VPN appliance needed.

DNS and DHCP

Zentyal manages DNS zones and DHCP leases integrated with the Active Directory domain. Workstations register automatically and resolve internal hostnames.

Firewall and gateway

Zentyal includes a firewall with NAT, port forwarding, and traffic filtering. Use it as the gateway between your office network and the internet.

FAQ — Zentyal Server Hosting

Common questions, straight answers.

What is Zentyal Server?

Zentyal Server is an open-source server distribution based on Ubuntu that provides Active Directory-compatible domain services, email, file sharing, VPN, DNS, DHCP, and firewall management, all from a web-based dashboard. It's designed as a drop-in replacement for Windows Server in small and medium businesses.

How do I install Zentyal on my VPS?

Start with an Ubuntu VPS from Cloudzy, add the Zentyal repository, and install the zentyal package. The web-based setup wizard guides you through module selection, domain configuration, and initial user creation. Takes about 15-20 minutes.

How much RAM does Zentyal need?

Zentyal with domain controller and email modules needs at least 4 GB of RAM. For 20+ users with email, file shares, and VPN active, 8 GB is recommended. The domain controller (Samba AD) is the heaviest component.

Is Zentyal free?

Zentyal Development Edition is free and open-source. Zentyal also offers a Commercial Edition with professional support, automatic updates, and disaster recovery features. The free edition is fully functional for running a domain controller and office services.

Can Windows PCs join a Zentyal domain?

Yes. Zentyal uses Samba AD, which implements the Active Directory protocol. Windows 10 and 11 workstations can join the domain, authenticate users, and apply Group Policies, just like a Windows Server environment.

Does Zentyal replace Windows Server?

For small and medium businesses that use Active Directory for user management, file shares, and email, Zentyal is a functional replacement. It handles domain joins, GPOs, and Outlook-compatible email. It does not support all Windows Server features (like Exchange-specific MAPI).

Can I manage Zentyal from the web?

Yes. Zentyal provides a web-based dashboard at port 8443. From there you manage users, groups, domain settings, email accounts, file shares, VPN clients, firewall rules, DNS zones, and DHCP scopes.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Cloudzy offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on every VPS plan. Set up Zentyal, join a few workstations to the domain, if the infrastructure doesn't fit, get a full refund.
