Hosting, made light.
Websites, email and domains for all your customers, in one free panel. One command to install, about fifteen minutes to go live.
Runs on AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux, with OpenLiteSpeed, MariaDB, Redis / Valkey and free SSL from Let's Encrypt.
Less to look after.
LitePanel brings your old accounts over, keeps customers apart from each other, and restarts services that stop.
Move in from cPanel
Bring your accounts over with their websites, email, databases and DNS, in a few clicks.
Secure by default
Firewall, web firewall and virus scanning are on from day one, and each customer is kept apart from the rest.
Always online
If a service stops, the watchdog restarts it and lets you know. Updates are checked before they install.
One command on a fresh server.
Paste one line and LitePanel sets up everything your customers need. About fifteen minutes later, you sign in and create your first account.
Only need nameservers?
Free · no keyInstall a DNS-only server: a small server that answers DNS for all your LitePanel servers, so your customers' domains keep working even while one server is down. 512 MB of memory is enough. How it works
curl -fsSL https://securedownloads.litepanel.dev/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --dns-only
Only need email?
Same free keyInstall an email-only server: mailboxes, webmail, calendar and phone sync for your customers' domains, without their websites. Your customers see just their email, DNS and backups. How it works
curl -fsSL https://securedownloads.litepanel.dev/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --license YOUR-KEY --mail-only

Questions
Is it really free?+
Yes, during early access. Every server gets a free key from my.litepanel.dev, with no account limit and nothing held back. Before we add paid plans, we'll tell you at least 60 days ahead.
Why do I need a key?+
The key links LitePanel to your server, so it can receive updates. It's free and takes a minute to get.
Can I install it on a server I already use?+
Start with a new server. LitePanel sets up everything itself, so it shouldn't share a server with another control panel.
Does a DNS-only server need a key?+
No. A DNS-only server is free and installs without a key. It holds a copy of your other servers' domains, so ns1 and ns2 can be different machines.
Can I use LitePanel just for email?+
Yes. Install with --mail-only and the server hosts email without websites: mailboxes, webmail, spam filtering and DNS. It uses the same free key as any server.
I'm moving to a new server.+
Open your license at my.litepanel.dev and press "Move to another server", then install on the new one with the same key.
