We're helping web hosting provides to host busy websites, in less time, with fewer resources. ✌️

We built the hosting panel we always wished existed.

Managing a web hosting server has been broken for too long. Legacy control panels built on outdated architecture, bloated with features nobody uses, charging per-seat fees that punish growth, and treating security as an afterthought. We knew there had to be a better way. So we built one.

Our Story

OpenPanel started from a simple frustration: existing hosting panels weren't keeping up with how modern servers are actually run. Containers had changed everything about infrastructure — but hosting control panels were still stuck in the past.

We set out to build a panel that embraced Docker from day one. Not as an add-on. Not as a compatibility layer. As the foundation. That decision shapes everything about how OpenPanel works — the isolation, the flexibility, the security, and the user experience.

What We Believe

Isolation is a right, not a premium feature. Every user on your server deserves their own environment — their own MySQL, their own PHP version, their own resources — without interference from anyone else. That's not enterprise-tier. That's just how hosting should work.

Security should be built in, not bolted on. WAF protection, malware scanning, two-factor authentication, IP controls — these shouldn't be things you configure after the fact. They should be there from the moment you install.

Control panels should give you control. Over your stack. Over your branding. Over your pricing. Over your data. You're running the server — the panel should work for you, not the other way around.

Open source matters. Transparency builds trust. You can audit our code, contribute to it, fork it, or self-host it. No vendor lock-in. No black boxes.

Who OpenPanel Is For

Whether you're a solo developer managing a handful of sites, a growing agency handling client hosting, or a hosting provider serving hundreds of users — OpenPanel scales with you.

The free Community Edition gets you started with no strings attached. When your business grows, the Enterprise Edition grows with it — adding advanced features, custom branding, and hands-on support at a flat monthly rate, not a per-seat tax.

Built Different

Unlike traditional panels that assign shared resources and hope for the best, OpenPanel gives each user a VPS-like experience inside a shared server. That means better performance, stronger security, and happier customers — without the cost of dedicated infrastructure for everyone.

We support the web servers you actually use. The databases your stack depends on. The PHP versions your clients still need. And a command-line interface powerful enough for the admins who live in the terminal.

Our Commitment

We're continuously improving OpenPanel based on real feedback from real hosting operators. Every update is driven by what the people running servers actually need — not feature bloat, not enterprise upsells, not marketing.

We're building the hosting panel for the next decade. We're glad you're here.
