OLSPanel — Free Web Hosting Control Panel

OLSPanel is a free, open-source web hosting control panel that gives developers, system administrators, hosting providers, and website owners a single dashboard to manage websites, domains, PHP versions, databases, SSL certificates, DNS, email, and server resources — without the licensing cost of traditional panels like cPanel or Plesk. OLSPanel is built for servers running OpenLiteSpeed.

01

Free Web Hosting Control Panel

Manage websites, domains, databases, PHP, SSL, DNS, and email from a single free control panel — no per-account or per-server licensing fees, unlike traditional paid panels.

02

Free cPanel & Plesk Alternative

OLSPanel covers the day-to-day tasks most hosting providers rely on cPanel or Plesk for — account creation, domain management, SSL issuance — at zero cost, which matters most for resellers and small hosting operations running on tight margins.

03

Web Host Control Panel for Developers & Sysadmins

Deploy and manage multiple projects, staging environments, and PHP applications through a UI that exposes server-level controls (cron jobs, log access, resource limits) rather than hiding them behind simplified toggles built for non-technical users.

04

Control Panel for Hosting Providers

Run multi-tenant hosting with isolated user accounts, per-account resource limits, and centralized server monitoring — the essentials needed to offer shared or reseller hosting without building custom tooling from scratch.

05

Runs on OpenLiteSpeed Servers

OLSPanel is engineered around OpenLiteSpeed's architecture — virtual host configuration, LSCache integration, and OpenLiteSpeed's event-driven request handling — so settings map directly to the server instead of being translated through a generic abstraction layer.

06

Multi-PHP Version Management

Run different PHP versions side by side per site, switch versions without redeploying, and manage PHP extensions and configuration directives (memory_limit, upload size, execution time) per virtual host.

07

One-Click SSL (Let's Encrypt)

Issue and auto-renew free SSL certificates per domain, with force-HTTPS redirection handled at the virtual host level so certificates don't lapse silently and break sites.

08

Database & Email Management

Create and manage MySQL/MariaDB databases and users from the panel, alongside domain-based email accounts, without dropping to the command line for routine provisioning tasks.

09

DNS & Domain Control

Manage DNS zones and records, add-on domains, and subdomains from one interface, with changes reflected directly in the server's DNS configuration rather than a separate disconnected system.

10

Lightweight Resource Footprint

OLSPanel is built to run efficiently alongside OpenLiteSpeed itself, keeping panel overhead low so more server resources stay available for actually serving traffic — a real difference on smaller VPS instances.

11

Works on VPS & Dedicated Servers

Deploy on cloud VPS instances or dedicated hardware without vendor lock-in. OLSPanel doesn't require a specific hosting provider or pre-packaged server image to function.

12

FTP & File Access

Manage FTP accounts and file permissions per user, with a built-in file manager for quick edits, uploads, and permission changes without needing a separate SFTP client for minor tasks.

13

Server Monitoring

Track CPU, memory, and disk usage at both the server and per-account level, making it easier to spot resource-hungry sites or accounts before they affect other users on the same server.

14

Open Source

OLSPanel's source is open for review and modification, so you're not dependent on a vendor's roadmap or pricing changes — the code is auditable and the project can be self-hosted indefinitely at no cost.

15

No Vendor Lock-In

Standard Linux tooling underneath (MySQL/MariaDB, Let's Encrypt, standard virtual host configs) means migrating away from OLSPanel later doesn't require untangling proprietary formats.

16

Active Development

Regular updates track changes in OpenLiteSpeed itself, PHP version releases, and Let's Encrypt/ACME protocol changes, so the panel doesn't fall out of sync with the stack it manages.

Multiple Application Support

Run PHP, Node.js, Python and static websites in isolated environments at the same time.

Website Installation Wizard

Create a new website with the OLSPanel installation wizard.

Select the application type and configure the required settings, including a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate.
