Run your hosting server without paying per account.

Sites, email, DNS, apps, backups and security in two panels: a user panel for your customers and an admin panel for you.

The Community edition is free for up to 3 accounts. No license, no card.

bipanel admin panel, server status: CPU, memory and disk use on an AlmaLinux 9 server, account count, 24-hour charts and running services.

The user panel on a phone: the overview screen of the example.com account.

Ubuntu 22.04 · 24.04 · 26.04Recommended 24.04 LTSDebian 12 · 13AlmaLinux 9 · 10Recommended 9Rocky Linux 9 · 10RHEL 9 · 10 SELinux on Docker

For a new server we recommend Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: the widest package and repository support, with security updates until 2029. If you prefer the Red Hat family, choose AlmaLinux 9: SELinux in enforcing mode, supported until 2032. Both run the same panel with the same features.

One command, about 15 minutes.

The script downloads the package, verifies its SHA-256 hash, and sets up the web server, PHP, MariaDB, email, DNS, the firewall and SSL. On Enterprise Linux, SELinux stays in enforcing mode.

On a clean server, as root:

$ curl -fsSL https://bipanel.io/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --hostname server.example.com --email [email protected]

Signed releasesEvery package is signed with Ed25519, and bipanel won't install a line it can't verify.
Reversible updatesIf a new version fails its health check, bipanel rolls back on its own.
Your data stays with youSites, databases and email never leave your server.

Two panels, laid out the way you know

Your customers manage their own accounts; you manage the server, packages and resellers. One click takes you into a customer's panel to see exactly what they see.

User panelFile managerDNSEmailAdmin panel

User panel overview: the tools of the example.com account in groups, with disk, bandwidth, domain, database and email usage. — Tools in groups, with usage and limits alongside.

File manager: the public_html folder with upload, compress, permissions and search tools. — Code editor, search and trash, hardened against symlink attacks.

DNS zone editor: the A, MX, TXT, CAA and CNAME records of the example.com zone, with the add-record form. — Every record type, templates and Cloudflare sync.

Email accounts: the example.com mailboxes with their quotas and usage. — Mailboxes, quotas, spam and virus filtering, webmail.

The account list in the admin panel: each account's domain, package, owning reseller, disk use and status. — Accounts, packages and resellers, with one-click login as the customer.

Vulnerability alerts for every server

Every bipanel server reports its installed package versions, and we compare them with published vulnerabilities. When something affects your server, you see it in the panel and update in one click.

installed package versions issues affecting the server CVE, OSV and KEV sources

CVE alertsSeverity, the fixed version and known exploitation. In the Community edition too.
SELinux in enforcing modeOn AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and RHEL, the rules are set up at install time.
Firewall and CrowdSecUFW or firewalld, Fail2Ban, community blocklists and country blocking.
ModSecurity and scanningOWASP CRS, malware scanning with 64 rules, and a security score.

Vulnerabilities in the admin panel: packages that affect the server, with severity and installed and fixed versions.

All security features Vulnerability alerts

The AI assistant: a chat screen for questions about the server and accounts, with ready-made prompts.

An AI assistant inside the panel Pro

Ask about the server and accounts in plain language and have problems diagnosed. The assistant only uses the panel's own tools with your permissions, and you approve every step that changes something.

Questions you can ask

Why is example.com returning a 500 error?
Which accounts use the most disk?
Are any certificates about to expire?
Failed logins in the last 24 hours

Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini with your own API key

AI assistant and MCP: all features

Incremental, encrypted backups and live transfers Pro

Snapshots store only what changed, stay encrypted and are copied to remote destinations such as S3, B2 or SFTP. Users restore a file, a database or a mailbox themselves. Move accounts live from another bipanel server, passwords included.

Backups and migration: all features

Incremental backup schedule: primary and copy repositories, daily times, concurrent accounts and what gets backed up.

Resellers, white label and themes Pro

Multi-level resellers, a brand, logo and panel address per reseller, and light and dark themes. Resellers manage their sub-resellers, IP pools and own nameservers, and users pick from the themes you allow.

Resellers, teams and branding: all features

Branding, themes: the light and dark palettes of the built-in themes, with font and density.

Apps, WordPress and Laravel

From WordPress to Moodle and from Next.js to Django, apps install in one click and update with a backup. Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, Java and .NET apps run next to your PHP sites with zero-downtime deploys.

170 features in one panel

Every section shows what is Community and what is Pro, and which install method it works on.

All features

Runs wherever you want it

The same code installs two ways. Pick the one that fits; your license works with all of them.

Full shared hosting

Your own server

Installs on a clean Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux or RHEL server with a single command. Everything works, including email, DNS, FTP, SSH, the firewall and automatic updates.

Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 / 26.04, Debian 12 / 13
AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, RHEL 9 / 10 (SELinux on)
At least 1 vCPU and 2 GB RAM

One VPS, isolated

Docker + Caddy

A single container on your own VPS or any Docker host, with Caddy in front issuing HTTPS for every domain. Web, database and app hosting.

Docker Engine 24+, Compose v2
2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)
No mail server, DNS server or FTP

Features by install method

Partial: in Docker, DNS records sync to Cloudflare, updates are a redeploy with the new image, and vulnerability alerts cover only bipanel's own components where the container has no package database.

Simple per-server pricing

With per-account pricing, the bill grows with your customer list. bipanel is licensed per server, so adding accounts never costs extra.

Frequently asked

How is it different from traditional hosting panels?

Licenses are priced per server, so the bill doesn't climb with every account; Node.js, Next.js and Python apps work without add-ons; spam filtering, a web application firewall, malware scanning and vulnerability alerts need no extra products; the same panel runs on Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and RHEL, and in Docker; and updates arrive signed and roll back if something breaks. We list what we haven't built yet openly on the Why bipanel page.

Can I use it without a license?

Yes. The Community edition needs no license and gives you every core feature for up to 3 hosting accounts, including files, databases, email, DNS, apps, the security tools and vulnerability alerts. Pick a Pro plan for more accounts, resellers, white label, incremental and remote backups, live transfers, the AI assistant and clusters.

Which operating systems are supported?

Server installs run on Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04, Debian 12 and 13, AlmaLinux 9 and 10, Rocky Linux 9 and 10, and RHEL 9 and 10. For a new server we recommend Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, or AlmaLinux 9 if you prefer the Red Hat family. On Enterprise Linux, SELinux stays in enforcing mode and the installer sets up the rules it needs. Both x86_64 and ARM64 (aarch64) are supported. We recommend 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM. The Docker install runs on any Linux VPS with Docker Engine 24+.

How do vulnerability alerts work?

Every bipanel server regularly reports the versions of its installed packages, and we compare them with published vulnerabilities (CVEs and distribution advisories). When something affects your server, the admin panel lists it with its severity, the fixed version and exploit data, and critical items arrive as notifications. You apply the update with apt or dnf in one click. It works the same in the Community and Pro editions.
