Hosting Control Panels
A hosting panel for a company, an agency or your own IT infrastructure
Do you have several, a dozen or several dozen websites, domains and mailboxes? Instead of managing everything by hand on the server or paying high costs for commercial panels, we can prepare your own hosting environment based on OpenLiteSpeed, ISPConfig or DirectAdmin.
We configure the panel, domains, user accounts, email, SSL, backups, monitoring and security. As a result, your company gains greater control over its infrastructure, lower running costs and more convenient handling of many projects in one place.
- OpenLiteSpeed / ISPConfig / DirectAdmin
- Multiple domains + PHP versions per domain
- Email + Roundcube + SPF/DKIM/DMARC
- Client / project accounts + limits
- Backups + monitoring + documentation
- Migration from cPanel / Plesk / hosting
Your own hosting panel is for
- agencies hosting clients’ sites
- IT companies handling many projects
- owners of several or a dozen WordPress sites
- companies with many domains and mailboxes
- teams that want to create separate accounts for clients or staff
- companies that want to move away from cPanel/Plesk and cut costs
- administrators who need a tidy panel instead of configuring each domain by hand
What does your own hosting panel give you?
Six concrete benefits — especially for agencies, software houses and companies managing many projects.
More order in your infrastructure
All domains, sites, databases, mailboxes and SSL certificates managed from one place. You do not have to remember what was configured by hand on the server.
Lower fixed costs
OpenLiteSpeed and ISPConfig are free; DirectAdmin requires a separate licence. You do not pay for a panel whose features you do not use — as with cPanel/Plesk.
More convenient client management
An agency or IT company can create separate accounts for clients, assign domains, configure email and separate projects. Less risk of mistakes.
Faster deployment of new sites
A new domain, SSL, database, FTP/SFTP account or PHP version can be prepared faster than with manual server configuration.
Greater control over your infrastructure
The company is not entirely dependent on external hosting. It can manage the server, users and services itself — with a tidy panel instead of a raw VPS.
Better operational security
Well-configured backups, monitoring, administrative access and documentation reduce the risk that only one person knows how the whole server works.
Which panel to choose?
Not every panel is good for every project. The choice depends on the number of domains, email, users and technical requirements.
| Panel | Best for | Main benefit | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin | WordPress, WooCommerce, speed-focused sites | Very good performance and integration with LiteSpeed Cache | Less of a typical hosting panel for end clients |
| ISPConfig | Companies with many domains, email and users | An extensive open-source panel for hosting many services | Requires good configuration and administration |
| DirectAdmin | Companies wanting a simpler panel similar to classic hosting | A more convenient interface for users | Requires a paid licence |
A simple recommendation: OpenLiteSpeed — when WordPress and WooCommerce speed matters most. ISPConfig — when you need many domains, email and users. DirectAdmin — when you want a simpler panel close to classic commercial hosting.
What can we configure?
Seven areas of implementation — from the panel and domains, through SSL and email, to backups and team training.
Panel and server environment
- Linux system installation
- VPS or dedicated server configuration
- installation of OpenLiteSpeed / ISPConfig / DirectAdmin
- admin panel configuration
- permissions and user accounts setup
- resource limits
- basic security
Benefit: A ready environment for managing many sites and domains.
Domains and sites
- adding multiple domains
- vhost configuration
- subdomain handling
- separate environments for clients / projects
- site directory configuration
- PHP versions per domain
- an environment for WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP apps
Benefit: Clients / projects are separated, and PHP versions can be matched to a specific site.
SSL and security
- automatic Let's Encrypt certificates
- securing the admin panel
- firewall
- SSH hardening
- protection against brute force
- access recommendations
Benefit: Less risk of simple attacks and forgotten SSL certificates.
- mail server configuration (Postfix + Dovecot)
- mailboxes in your domain
- mail forwarding
- webmail (Roundcube)
- SPF, DKIM, DMARC
- basic anti-spam (Rspamd / SpamAssassin)
- a recommendation on when Google Workspace / Microsoft 365 is better
Benefit: Domain email works reliably and has better deliverability.
Databases
- MariaDB / MySQL
- separate databases per project
- separate database users
- database backups
- basic configuration optimisation
Benefit: Databases are separated — less risk of one project overloading another.
Backups and monitoring
- automatic backups
- backup retention
- local or off-site backup
- service availability monitoring
- alerts on problems
- basic recovery procedure documentation
Benefit: In case of failure you know where the backups are and how to restore clients’ projects.
Migration and training
- moving domains and sites
- database migration
- mailbox migration (where it makes sense)
- post-migration testing
- administrative documentation
- panel usage training
Benefit: The team knows how to use the panel — without being dependent on a single technical person.

| Post-launch support | 14–30 days | you are not left alone with a freshly deployed panel |
How does implementation work?
Seven stages — from needs analysis to administrative care after launch.
Needs analysis
We check how many domains, sites, mailboxes, databases and users the panel is to handle. We establish whether WordPress performance, email, panel simplicity or low running cost matters most.
Effect: You know which panel and configuration will be best for your company.
Choosing the panel
We recommend OpenLiteSpeed, ISPConfig or DirectAdmin. We explain the differences, costs and technical consequences so the client does not pick a panel at random.
Effect: A conscious panel choice — with a business rationale, not just a technical one.
Server configuration
We prepare the system, security, the panel, PHP, the database, SSL, email, backups and monitoring.
Effect: A ready hosting environment for real projects — not a “bare panel”.
Migration of domains and services
We move sites, domains, databases and selected mailboxes. For larger migrations we agree on the order of work to limit the risk of downtime.
Effect: Clients / projects land on the new panel without chaos or long outages.
Testing
We check that domains, sites, email, SSL certificates, databases, backups and the admin panel all work.
Effect: The environment is ready for day-to-day work — issues found are fixed before launch.
Documentation and training
We hand over documentation and show how to add domains, users, email accounts, databases and SSL certificates.
Effect: The team can manage the panel on its own.
Post-launch care
After implementation we can keep looking after the server: updating services, responding to incidents, monitoring operation and helping with changes.
Effect: Peace of mind — without having to hire your own administrator.
The most common implementation scenarios
Four typical situations in which we help companies tidy up their hosting infrastructure.
Agency hosting clients’ sites
The agency has 10–30 client sites, some on WordPress, some with domain email. Managing a VPS by hand becomes inconvenient.
Benefit: The panel lets you organise clients, domains, SSL, backups and user accounts in one place.
Company with many domains and mailboxes
The company has several brands, branches, landing pages and email accounts.
Benefit: The panel tidies up managing domains, mailboxes, forwarding and databases.
Migration from cPanel / Plesk
The company uses a paid panel but does not use all of its features.
Benefit: Moving to ISPConfig or OpenLiteSpeed reduces fixed and licensing costs.
An IT team wanting more control
The company no longer wants to rely solely on shared hosting. It needs its own environment with a panel, documentation and procedures.
Benefit: Your own infrastructure with tidy management instead of a raw VPS.

A manual VPS or a hosting panel?
With 1–2 sites, manual configuration may be enough. With many domains, clients and projects, a panel cuts down the daily admin work.
| Area | Manual VPS | VPS with a hosting panel |
|---|---|---|
| Adding domains | Manual vhost configuration | From the panel, a few clicks |
| SSL | Manual settings or scripts | Automated in the panel |
| User accounts | Harder to keep tidy | The option to create accounts and limits |
| Requires manual configuration | Can be managed from the panel | |
| Databases | Manual administration | More convenient to create and assign |
| Backups | Individual configuration | The option of central management |
| Client management | Not very convenient | Much easier for an agency |
| Scaling | Requires admin knowledge | Easier operationally |

You do not have to choose a panel on your own
Tell us how many domains and clients you want to handle, whether you need email, which panel you use today and what your budget is. We will propose a solution and prepare a migration plan.
We do not start by installing the “first panel that comes along” — first the analysis, then choosing the technology for real needs.
