How do you get a cloud-platform experience on your own server?
Instead of paying a monthly bill to a rented platform, you run the same experience on your own server: per-project isolation with K3s, git push deploys, automatic SSL, mail, DNS and backups in one panel. Licensing is per server, with unlimited sites and users.
Multiple Deploy Lanes
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.
Automatic SSL
Let's Encrypt certificates are issued and renewed automatically; a smart backoff mechanism keeps you clear of rate limits. Local CA support is included.
DNS & Domain Management
Integrated DNS zone management, subdomain vhost generation and Cloudflare integration. Every project goes live on its own subdomain.
Mail Server
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.
Databases & Backup
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.
DDoS Shield & Scanning
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.
Resellers & Multi-Tenant
Reseller accounts, tenant isolation, quota and limit enforcement. If you run a hosting business, keep your customers safely separated.
cPanel & WiseCP Import
Import your existing cPanel accounts and WiseCP installation; sites, mailboxes and databases migrate automatically.
Live Monitoring & Speed
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.
Does every project need its own VM?
A separate Windows VM for every subdomain means licences, maintenance and idle capacity. VDS Panel reduces that to a single Ubuntu server: each project runs in its own isolated container, resource limits apply per project, and a new environment takes minutes.
Today: one VM per project
- proje1.firma.com → Windows VM #1
- proje2.firma.com → Windows VM #2
- test.firma.com → Windows VM #3
- intranet.firma.com → Windows VM #4
VDS Panel: one server
- Every subdomain in its own isolated box (K3s)
- Java, Node, PHP, Python and Docker on the same server
- New project environments in minutes; no VM requests
- DNS, SSL and reverse proxy automated
Code, databases, mail and backups never leave your company server; no third-party data transfer for GDPR and internal audit requirements.
Where does VDS Panel run today?
The panel is used in production both inside corporate infrastructures and by hosting operations serving their own customers.
Which system services install in one click?
Pick the service you need in the panel; a few minutes later it is running on K3s. Connection details are generated for you and attach to your projects in one click, with no SSH required to install anything.

One file, one command: the installer sets up K3s, PostgreSQL, nginx and the panel itself; the panel opens on your own domain, ready to deploy.
Get the installer
Copy the single ~17 MB .run file we email with your licence to your server. No dependencies to install.
Run it
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).
Deploy
Sign in, connect your repo or upload your files. SSL, subdomain and reverse proxy are configured for you.
What does VDS Panel do today?
Not a promise, the current state. The capabilities below exist in the release running in production today, and we are equally clear about what is out of scope.
Working today
- Full-stack install from a single installer (K3s + DB + nginx + SSL)
- Java / Node / PHP / Python / Static / Docker deploys
- Mail, DNS, FTP, backups and security scanning in one panel
- DDoS Shield + ModSecurity WAF + a 140+-test pentest suite
- Off-site backups: SFTP, S3/MinIO and Google Drive targets
- One-click WordPress and a 50+ ready-made app catalogue
- Data migration from cPanel & WiseCP
- Multi-tenant + reseller infrastructure
- Active development: regular updates and fixes across 290+ published releases (v1.0.290+)
Where does VDS Panel differ from the alternatives?
Competitors do some things well and we do not hide it. Classic panels (cPanel, Plesk) are mature at hosting; rented platforms like Vercel and Netlify are good at deploys. Where we differ is combining both in one panel, on your own server.

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. If you are looking for a self-hosted alternative to rented PaaS platforms (Vercel, Netlify, Railway), the same panel covers the deploy side too - the difference is that your application runs on your own server with no usage-based billing.
