OpenPanel - cPanel Alternative

cPanel/WHM licenses are billed per account, and prices have climbed sharply in recent years as tiers fill up. OpenPanel is a cPanel alternative built for hosting providers who want a predictable bill: one fixed price per server, however many accounts you run, that never increases.

Under the hood, OpenPanel isolates every user and every service (PHP, MySQL, and more) in its own Podman container, rather than sharing services across accounts the way cPanel does unless you pay extra for CloudLinux. OpenPanel also runs natively on ARM (AArch64) servers, which cPanel/WHM does not support, and works across Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and CentOS instead of a narrower set of RHEL-based distributions.

Switching from cPanel/WHM doesn't mean starting over: the built-in cPanel Backup Importer migrates existing accounts, domains, and email onto OpenPanel so you can move your hosting business over with minimal downtime.
