Fewer licences. More margin per server.
Most panels are just the start of the bill: isolation, WAF, backups and security each come as their own licence, usually priced per account. OpenPanel ships all of it in one flat licence, so every new customer on a server is pure margin.

The foundation, already inside
The problems that cost hosts the most tickets and churn, solved by features that are part of OpenPanel, not bolted on.
One noisy account slows the whole server
A traffic spike or a runaway script on one site eats CPU and RAM, and every other customer on the node opens a ticket.
Every account runs in its own isolated context, so users can't see or reach each other. Inside it, each service (web server, PHP, database, Redis) runs in its own container on segmented internal networks. CPU, memory, disk and inode limits are set per hosting plan, so one account can never take the server down for the rest.
Sites get hacked through vulnerable plugins
SQL injection and XSS attempts hit every WordPress and Joomla site daily, and each successful one becomes a cleanup ticket.
CorazaWAF with the OWASP Core Rule Set inspects every request before it reaches a site. Protect or monitor-only mode per domain, app profiles for popular CMSs to avoid false blocks, and per-domain logs of what was stopped.
Malware spreads before anyone notices
Infected files sit on the server for weeks, then the IP gets blacklisted and the abuse reports start.
Scheduled ClamAV scans move infected files to quarantine automatically, users can run their own scans, and ImunifyAV is included and pre-wired into OpenAdmin.
Backups are a separate product to buy and babysit
Customers expect restores, but the backup tool is another licence, another dashboard and another thing to keep running.
Back up every account centrally on your schedule, or let customers manage their own backups and restores. Send them to S3-compatible storage, SFTP and other remote destinations, and back up the panel configuration itself for disaster recovery.
Built for running a hosting business
Security at the server level, plus the tools to sell, resell and migrate, without another vendor in the chain.
Brute force and port scans hit the server around the clock
Without a properly configured firewall, every server is a target for SSH, mail and panel login attacks.
Sentinel Firewall, a maintained fork of CSF, is installed and managed from OpenAdmin. Admins and users can block IPs, and logins support 2FA and passkeys.
Slow sites drive customers to the competition
Page speed is what customers compare, and a slow shared server is the first thing they blame.
Each user picks Nginx, Apache or OpenLiteSpeed, puts Varnish in front, and adds Redis, Valkey or Memcached for object caching. Multiple PHP versions per domain, plus Node.js, Python and more.
Resellers need their own panel and your brand
Reseller hosting usually means a higher licence tier, and white-labelling costs extra on top.
Create resellers with their own accounts, packages and disk limits. Set your own brand name, logo and logout URL so customers only ever see your company.
Moving customers in is slow and risky
Migrating from another panel, or between your own servers, is where weekends disappear.
Import accounts straight from cPanel backups, transfer accounts between OpenPanel servers, and manage several servers as a cluster with DNS clustering.
Why the numbers work
Flat price, no account tiers
€14.95 per server whether it hosts 10 accounts or 1,000. You never get pushed to a higher tier because you grew.
One vendor, one update cycle
Isolation, WAF, backups and the panel are released and tested together, so updates don't break each other and support isn't bounced between vendors.
Runs on cheaper hardware
Native ARM (AArch64) support and lightweight containers let you use cost-efficient servers and pack more customers per node.
What's in the box
The layers a production hosting server needs, and how they're usually licensed.
Plugs into the billing system you already run
Free provisioning modules create, suspend, upgrade and terminate OpenPanel accounts straight from your billing panel.
Questions hosting providers ask first
No. The Enterprise licence includes isolation, the Coraza WAF, malware scanning, backups, the WordPress manager, resellers and branding. The only optional paid component is LiteSpeed Enterprise, if you choose it over the included Nginx, Apache or OpenLiteSpeed.
