Your Server, Made Simple

Panelica is a server management panel that turns a bare Linux server into a fully functional web hosting platform. If you have ever wished you could manage websites, email, databases, and security from one clean dashboard — without typing terminal commands — Panelica is built for you.

Who Is Panelica For?

  • Web hosting companies — sell hosting plans, create customer accounts, manage resources
  • Agencies and freelancers — host client websites on your own server
  • Small businesses — run your company website, email, and apps on one server
  • Developers — deploy applications with Docker, Git integration, and terminal access
  • System administrators — manage everything from a web interface instead of SSH

Everything You Need, Built In

Website Hosting

Add a domain, upload your files, and your website is live. Panelica configures the web server, creates the directory structure, and sets up the right permissions automatically. Support for PHP 8.1 through 8.5 — switch versions per domain with one click.

Free SSL for Every Domain

Every domain you add gets a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt — issued and renewed automatically. Your visitors always see the green padlock. No manual certificate management, no expiration surprises.

Email Server

Create email accounts for any domain you host. Send and receive emails, set up forwarding rules, manage spam filters, and access webmail from your browser. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are configured automatically so your emails actually reach the inbox — not the spam folder.

Database Management

Create MySQL and PostgreSQL databases with a few clicks. Built-in phpMyAdmin and pgAdmin let you browse tables, run queries, and manage data visually. No need to install separate tools.

DNS Management

Panelica includes a full DNS server. Manage A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and SRV records from the dashboard. If your domain uses Cloudflare, Panelica integrates directly — DNS changes sync automatically.

FTP and File Manager

Give clients FTP access to upload files, or use the built-in file manager right in your browser. Edit code, upload files, change permissions, and manage folders — all without leaving the panel.

Docker Applications

Run any application as a Docker container. Panelica includes ready-to-deploy templates for popular apps like WordPress, Umami Analytics, Chatwoot, and OpenVPN. Click Deploy, and the entire stack — application, database, and configuration — is set up automatically.

WordPress Toolkit

Install WordPress with one click. Enable Redis caching for dramatically faster page loads. Manage plugins, themes, and updates from the Panelica dashboard. Built-in staging environments let you test changes before going live.

Backup and Restore

Automated backups protect your data. Schedule daily, weekly, or custom backup intervals. Restore individual websites, databases, or email accounts with one click — or restore everything at once.

Security That Protects Every Account

Panelica does not just host websites — it protects them. Every hosting account runs in its own isolated environment:

  • Account isolation — one compromised website cannot affect others on the same server
  • Resource limits — each account has CPU, memory, and storage boundaries so one site cannot slow down the entire server
  • Web Application Firewall — blocks SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and other common attacks
  • Brute-force protection — automatically bans IP addresses that try to guess passwords
  • Firewall manager — control which ports are open and block unwanted traffic

Built for Hosting Businesses

If you run a web hosting company, Panelica gives you the tools to manage customers:

  • Hosting plans — define resource limits (disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, databases) for each plan
  • Reseller accounts — let resellers create and manage their own customers under your server
  • Multi-tier access — Root, Admin, Reseller, and User roles with granular permissions
  • White-label branding — 42 built-in themes, or customize colors to match your company brand

Runs on Ubuntu and Debian

Panelica supports Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12, and Debian 13. Install it on any VPS, dedicated server, or cloud instance. The installer takes about 3 minutes and configures everything automatically — web server, database server, email server, DNS, firewall, and all the tools.

Migrate from Other Panels

Already running cPanel, Plesk, or DirectAdmin? Panelica can migrate your websites, databases, email accounts, and DNS records automatically. No need to rebuild anything manually — just connect to your old server and click Migrate.

Get Started

Panelica installs in minutes on a fresh server. All features are included — SSL, email, DNS, backups, Docker, WordPress tools, security, and more. No hidden costs, no required add-ons.

One panel. Everything you need. That is Panelica.
