Instead of paying monthly bills to rented platforms, run the same experience on your own VDS: a single server management panel that doubles as your control panel and hosting panel.
Six project types: Java (JAR), Node, PHP (including Laravel), Python, static sites and Docker images; delivered via Git push or file upload. Each type deploys to K3s with its own optimised flow; a preflight check runs before going live and a smoke test right after.
Let's Encrypt certificates are issued and renewed automatically; a smart backoff mechanism keeps you clear of rate limits. Local CA support is included.
Integrated DNS zone management, subdomain vhost generation and Cloudflare integration. Every project goes live on its own subdomain.
A full Postfix/Dovecot/Rspamd mail stack: DKIM/SPF/DMARC DNS records, spam filters, forwarders, catch-all and one-click webmail sign-in (SSO), all managed from the panel.
Per-project PostgreSQL/MySQL with PgBouncer (connection pooling keeps your DB calm under heavy traffic), multi-DB backups and one-click restore. Portable per-domain archives; optional AES-256 encryption, GFS retention (daily/weekly/monthly generations) and SFTP / S3 / Google Drive off-site targets.
Under-attack mode, PoW challenges (browser verification that filters bots), fake-Googlebot detection and automatic IP bans via nftables (attacking IPs are blocked at the firewall instantly). On top: ModSecurity WAF, virus/CVE scanning and a 140+-test pentest suite.
Reseller accounts, tenant isolation, quota and limit enforcement. If you run a hosting business, keep your customers safely separated.
Import your existing cPanel accounts and WiseCP installation; sites, mailboxes and databases migrate automatically.
CPU, RAM, disk and per-site metrics in real time; the audit log tracks every action. vSpeedCache micro-caching, Brotli compression and image optimisation make your sites faster.
In many organisations every subdomain and internal app gets its own Windows VM: licence costs, maintenance burden and provisioning requests that take days. With VDS Panel you do the same job on a single Ubuntu server, with isolated environments, in minutes.
Code, databases, mail and backups never leave your company server; no third-party data transfer for GDPR and internal audit requirements.
Pick a service in the panel; a few minutes later it is running on K3s.
The list below shows the real screens of the server management panel in today’s release; not a single line inflated for marketing.
Copy the single ~17 MB .run file we email with your licence to your server. No dependencies to install.
sudo bash vdspanel.run installs K3s, PostgreSQL, nginx and the panel automatically; a unique admin password is generated. The panel opens under your own domain (vdspanel.your-domain.com).
Sign in, connect your repo or upload your files. SSL, subdomain and reverse proxy are configured for you.
Not a promise — the current state. These are the capabilities running in production today:
Competitors do some things well and we don’t hide it. Where we stand out is bringing the modern PaaS flow and classic hosting management under one roof.

The comparison is based on the generally published, typical feature sets of the relevant product categories; it may vary by version and add-ons. Category names are used to avoid targeting any specific brand. What sets us apart from open-source container panels: hosting, mail, DNS, backup and security come under one roof with single-vendor support and guaranteed regular updates.
Yes, it is a paid product: you buy one licence per server and pay nothing extra for the accounts/sites you create. For current pricing contact us at info@vdspanel.com . Since the panel runs on your own hardware there is no hosting fee either.
You need a Linux-based VDS or bare-metal server. Installation is a single .run file; K3s, PostgreSQL, nginx and the panel install automatically. Windows servers are not supported.
Java (JAR), Node.js, PHP (including Laravel), Python, static sites and Docker images are supported. You can also connect a Git repo for push-to-deploy; WordPress installs in one click.
Yes. With the cPanel/WHM and WiseCP import tools, sites, mail accounts and databases can be moved into the panel.
Entirely on your server. VDS Panel is self-hosted; we host none of your data. There is no third-party data transfer for GDPR or internal audit requirements. Backups also go to targets you choose.
No - we currently focus on single-node K3s, and we say so openly. Multi-node cluster management is being evaluated on our roadmap.
Licensing is per server. The term model, update and support scope, and licence transfer terms when changing servers are all put in writing with your quote. The panel is actively developed (290+ published releases); updates arrive through the in-panel "Update" flow. For details write to info@vdspanel.com.
Partly. Classic hosting panels (cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, CyberPanel) are mature at hosting and mail management, while modern PaaS tools (Coolify, Dokku and similar) are strong at container deploys. VDS Panel merges both under one roof: K3s-isolated deploys alongside hosting, mail, DNS and backups in the same panel. So it is not purely a cPanel alternative nor purely a Coolify alternative - it is a server management panel that covers both jobs. You can migrate existing cPanel/WHM and WiseCP setups with the built-in import tools.
