◆ One server · every hosting workload

The friendly control panel for people who run hosting.

HostPane turns a single Linux server into a complete hosting platform — websites, email, DNS, databases and backups — with an administrator, reseller and customer panel built in.

Already running another panel?

Move a live server to HostPane — without reinstalling it

Your customers stay online while you work. HostPane reads the panel that is already running — cPanel, DirectAdmin, CentOS Web Panel or Plesk — stages everything alongside it, and only moves traffic when you say so, in a maintenance window you chose.

STEP 01
Identify & inventory

HostPane finds the panel that is running and reads every account, domain, mailbox, database and DNS zone it owns — and flags the cron jobs that call the old panel's own tools.

STEP 02
Prepare, changing nothing

Records are staged, missing packages installed and left stopped, and every config it will later replace is copied. Your old panel keeps serving customers throughout.

STEP 03
Rehearse with a dry run

Around twenty checks — disk, ports, DNS TTLs, nameserver delegation, the real config tests. Anything that would stop you is found now, on a working day. A blocker refuses the cutover outright.

↓ the point of no return ↓
✓ Everything above is additive and reversible — walk away and nothing changed ◆ Everything below moves live traffic
STEP 04
Confirm — twice

Type the server's own hostname, then the words that say what happens to it. Two confirmations of different kinds, because the real risk is the right click on the wrong server.

STEP 05
Cut over in blast-radius order

DNS first, then web, then mail — the order that limits what a problem can reach. The old panel is stopped and disabled, so a reboot can't bring it back alongside HostPane.

STEP 06
Verify — or roll back by itself

If verification fails, HostPane restores the saved configs and restarts your previous panel without waiting to be asked. A rollback stays one click away afterwards, too.

    No customer data moves; homes stay exactly where they are

Three panels, one platform

An interface built for every seat at the table

Operators, resellers and end customers each get a focused surface — no clutter, no cross-wires, no separate tools to buy.

◆ Administrator

Run the whole platform from one place

Provision and manage accounts, drive every service on the box, and watch it all in real time. The operator surface is the control room for your server.

◆ Reseller

Sell hosting under your own brand

Give partners a delegated, white-labelled panel with hard limits. They manage their own customers — and, if you allow it, their own sub-resellers; you keep the guardrails, the branding and the boundaries.

◆ Customer

Everything your users need — self-service

Websites, email, databases, files and one-click apps in a friendly, icon-led interface. Fewer tickets for you; more control for them.

Everything included

One platform, the whole hosting stack

No marketplace of paid add-ons. Everything below ships in the box, wired together and monitored.

Websites & SSL

Unlimited domains, subdomains and aliases, each with automatic HTTPS the moment DNS points at the box — served by NGINX, or by Apache when your customers want .htaccess.

  • NGINX or Apache
  • Multi-PHP 7.4–8.5
  • Auto-HTTPS
  • WAF
  • Node.js & Python apps

Email that delivers

A full mail server with the deliverability work done for you — signing, alignment and spam scanning built in, with controls down to the single mailbox.

  • DKIM · SPF · DMARC
  • Spam engine choice
  • Per-mailbox spam
  • BoxTrapper
  • Email routing
  • Webmail

Security by design

A two-process model keeps the web app unprivileged. Every privileged action is validated, reversible and audited — and each customer site gets its own security grade.

  • Brute-force firewall
  • Two-factor auth
  • Site security grade
  • Shell hardening
  • Full audit log

DNS you control

Authoritative DNS on your choice of engine, with zones created automatically for every new domain and signed on request.

  • BIND or PowerDNS
  • DNSSEC on both
  • SRV & CAA
  • IPv6 per account
  • Zone templates

Databases

MariaDB and PostgreSQL side by side for customers — and tools for the database server itself: connections, configuration, and version upgrades that take a backup first.

  • MariaDB
  • PostgreSQL
  • Remote access
  • Engine upgrades
  • Remote DB server

Backups & moving in

Deduplicated, encrypted backups to local and remote storage — and an importer that brings an account's files, mail and databases in from another panel's backup.

  • Local + remote
  • Point-in-time restore
  • Backup importer
  • Server-to-server transfer

Files, apps & sharing

A real file manager with an in-browser editor, one-click applications, and the ways your customers already like to reach their files.

  • File manager
  • One-click apps
  • FTP & Web Disk
  • Git repos
  • Calendars & contacts

Monitoring that acts

Live metrics, alerts on the thresholds you set, a forecast of what is heading for trouble — and a watchdog that repairs a failed service instead of paging you.

  • Live metrics
  • Predictive alerts
  • Self-healing watchdog
  • Fleet view
  • Public status page

Automate it

A REST API for your own scripts, a WHMCS module for billing, and an AI-agent interface where every change can be rehearsed as a dry run first.

  • REST API + tokens
  • WHMCS module
  • AI agents (MCP)
  • Signed webhooks

Fair share, enforced

Give a plan a CPU, memory and process ceiling and HostPane places each of its accounts in its own systemd slice — no kernel add-on to license.

  • CPU limits
  • Memory limits
  • Process limits
  • Resource usage page

Sign in your way

Root and your admin group sign in with their Linux passwords, your team can use your identity provider, and everyone can add a second factor.

  • Linux accounts
  • OpenID Connect SSO
  • TOTP 2FA
  • Four languages

Fewer tickets

A support assistant answers customers from what the panel can actually check about their own account — DNS, certificates, mail, disk — and shows its working.

  • Support assistant
  • Help & guides
  • Account health score
  • Virus scanner

HostPane ships as a single prebuilt bundle with its dependencies already compiled — so there is no toolchain to install on a production server, and no package feed to reach at install time.

Security is the architecture

Two processes. One trust boundary. Zero shortcuts.

The panel you log into never runs as root. It hands privileged work to a separate root helper over a local socket that only accepts a fixed set of validated commands — so a slip in the web layer can't reach into the system.

  • ✓
    Validated twiceInputs are checked at the web layer and re-checked at the privileged boundary — the helper never trusts the caller.
  • ✓
    Atomic or rolled backConfig changes stage, validate and swap — a bad change reverts to the last-known-good automatically.
  • ✓
    Everything auditedEvery state-changing action is written to an append-only audit log you can search.
  • ✓
    Tenant isolationCustomers are separated at the operating-system level — one account can never read another's files.

Simple, honest pricing

One licence. Every feature. No add-on tax.

Priced per server, not per feature. Start free, upgrade when you grow. Licences are checked offline against a signed seven-day lease, so an outage on our side never takes your server down.
