What's Inside

Every hosting feature, built in

No plugins, no add-ons, no surprise fees. Opterius Panel ships with everything you need to run a hosting business.

Domains & Subdomains

Unlimited domains and subdomains per account. Each one gets its own document root, PHP-FPM pool, and isolated permissions.

Mail Server

Postfix + Dovecot + OpenDKIM + Rspamd. IMAP, SMTP, webmail via Roundcube. SPF/DKIM/DMARC configured automatically.

PowerDNS

Authoritative DNS server with full record management — A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, CAA. DNS templates apply to all accounts in seconds.

Free SSL Certificates

One-click Let's Encrypt issuance. Auto-renewal before expiry. Bulk re-check and re-issue across all accounts. Upload custom certs too.

MySQL & phpMyAdmin

Per-account MySQL databases with auto-prefixed names, password generator, remote access controls, and full phpMyAdmin integration.

Per-Account PHP Versions

PHP 8.1 through 8.4 installed side-by-side. Each domain runs its own version with isolated FPM pools — switch versions without affecting other accounts.

File Manager + SSH

Web-based file manager with editor, archive, upload. Optional chrooted SSH per account via Jailkit — users only see their own files.

Account Backups

Full account backups: files, databases, email. Restore any account from a backup in one click. Per-account backup quotas.

Security & Firewall

UFW or firewalld integration, Fail2ban for SSH/SMTP/IMAP, malware scanning for WordPress and Laravel, account lockdown on suspicion.

Cron Jobs

Schedule cron jobs per account from the panel UI. Standard crontab syntax with helpful presets. Enable/disable without removing.

Reseller Accounts

Full reseller mode with configurable account limits, package management, white-label branding, and team access with role-based permissions.

cPanel Migration

Upload a cPanel backup file and Opterius restores everything: files, databases, email accounts, DNS records, SSL certificates, cron jobs.

Two Modes, One Panel

Built for both ends of hosting

Opterius Panel adapts to who's logged in. Server admins get a WHM-style fleet view. Hosting customers get a clean cPanel-style account dashboard.

Server Mode

Server Mode (Admin / Reseller)

Manage every server in your fleet from one dashboard. Create accounts, monitor disk and CPU, issue SSL across all domains, deploy DNS templates, manage IP allocations, run security scans.

Hosting Mode

Hosting Mode (Account Owner)

A clean, modern cPanel alternative for the end-user. They see only their account, manage their domains and email, install WordPress, create databases, all from one place.
