A New Standard for Server Management

Today, we're excited to introduce Panelica — a security-first server management platform built from the ground up with native kernel isolation at its core.

Unlike traditional hosting panels that bolt on security as an afterthought (often requiring expensive third-party add-ons), Panelica enforces 5 layers of isolation directly at the Linux kernel level. No overhead. No compromises.

Why We Built Panelica

The hosting industry has a security problem. Traditional panels like cPanel and Plesk rely on shared environments where a compromised account can affect every other account on the server. Solutions like CloudLinux CageFS help, but they add cost, complexity, and another vendor dependency.

Panelica now matches CloudLinux's legacy-PHP coverage (PHP 5.6 through 7.4) on Ubuntu and Debian through a transparent Docker shim — without the per-server license cost or RHEL-family lock-in. The same per-domain dropdown selects either modern PHP 8.x (native PHP-FPM) or legacy 5.6/7.x (Docker-isolated runtime).

We asked: What if isolation wasn't an add-on, but the architecture itself?

5 Layers of Account Isolation

Every user on a Panelica server runs inside five nested isolation boundaries — enforced directly by the Linux kernel:

  1. Resource Limits — Each account gets its own CPU, RAM, and I/O allocation. One account can never slow down another.
  2. Process Isolation — Users cannot see each other's running processes or files. Complete visibility separation.
  3. SSH Sandboxing — SSH users land in a restricted environment. No access to system files, no escape.
  4. PHP Isolation — Every website runs in its own PHP environment with strict security boundaries.
  5. File System Protection — Each user has its own unique identity on the server. No cross-account file access.

Everything Included — No Hidden Costs

Every Panelica license includes the full security and management stack at no additional cost:

  • Firewall Protection — Blocks SQL injection, XSS, and other web attacks automatically
  • Malware Scanning — Real-time file scanning with automatic quarantine
  • Brute-Force Protection — Automatic blocking of repeated failed login attempts
  • Free SSL Certificates — Auto-provisioning and auto-renewal for every domain
  • Two-Factor Authentication — Secure panel access with 2FA

Switch from Any Panel

Panelica's migration tool supports one-click migration from cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, CloudLinux, or any custom setup. Live progress tracking, automatic rollback on failure, and zero downtime.
