WHY PANELICA

Built Different From the Ground Up

Not a fork. Not a reskin. A completely new server management platform designed for modern hosting.

Modern Architecture

Built with Go 1.24 and React 19 from scratch. No legacy code, no technical debt. Fast, efficient, and designed for today's hosting requirements.

5-Layer Isolation

Every account is protected by Cgroups v2, Namespaces, SSH Chroot, per-user PHP-FPM, and Unix permissions. No other panel offers this level of isolation.

Everything Included

Firewall, malware scanner, monitoring, Docker, WordPress toolkit, backups, migration tools -- all built in. No paid add-ons or third-party plugins required.
