Live antivirus, Fail2Ban dashboard, ModSecurity WAF, CloudLinux-style resource isolation, file manager, DNS editor, PHP selector โ all built in-house. Zero add-on fees.
cPanel requires ImunifyAV ($6/mo), Imunify360 ($45+/mo), KernelCare ($4/mo), and ConfigServer Firewall. HPanel ships with all of this built in โ zero extra cost.
A complete real-time malware protection system โ not a cron-based scanner that runs once a day. HPanel scans files the moment they're uploaded and watches the filesystem continuously.
Full Fail2Ban management with a live activity feed that shows blocked IPs, brute force attempts, and security events in real time โ right from the admin panel.
Web Application Firewall with OWASP Core Rule Set. Blocks SQL injection, XSS, RFI/LFI, and other OWASP Top 10 attacks automatically. Per-domain toggle, blocked request logs, and IP whitelisting from the admin dashboard.
Block individual IPs, IP ranges, or entire CIDR blocks. Per-account and server-wide blocking with a clean, cPanel-style interface. Instant effect โ no server restart required.
Free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates โ auto-issued and auto-renewed for every domain. One-click issuance, wildcard support, and certificate status monitoring from the dashboard.
cPanel needs CloudLinux ($12/mo per server) for resource isolation. HPanel does it natively โ no extra license, no extra kernel.
Every hosting account runs in its own isolated environment with hard limits on CPU, RAM, IO, disk, and bandwidth. One account cannot crash the server or affect other accounts.
Every user is isolated in a virtual filesystem. They cannot see other users' files, system binaries, or server configs. Mount-based isolation with chroot โ like CloudLinux CageFS but built natively into HPanel.
Replaces: CloudLinux CageFS ($16.80/mo)
Per-user MySQL resource limits: max queries/hr, max connections/hr, max updates/hr. Prevents a single user's heavy queries from slowing down the entire database server for everyone else.
Replaces: CloudLinux MySQL Governor ($16.80/mo)
Create hosting packages instantly with one-click presets: Light (1 CPU, 512MB), Standard (2 CPU, 1GB), Power (4 CPU, 2GB), and Unlimited (VPS-style). All limits auto-filled โ disk, bandwidth, CPU, RAM, IO, processes, PHP workers, and more.
cPanel users pay $25.00/mo+ for LiteSpeed Web Server. HPanel achieves equivalent or better performance with Nginx + FastCGI Cache + Redis โ all free and built in.
High-performance web server with per-account PHP-FPM pools. Per-account PHP version selection (7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4). No Apache overhead.
Replaces: Apache + LiteSpeed ($25.00/mo)
Server-level full-page caching. Nginx serves cached pages directly โ bypasses PHP entirely. Sub-millisecond TTFB for WordPress and dynamic sites.
Replaces: LiteSpeed Cache (requires LS license)
In-memory object caching for database-heavy applications. Dramatically reduces MySQL query load. Per-site Redis instance isolation.
PHP bytecode caching with Just-In-Time compilation enabled. PHP 8.x performance with zero code changes. Admin-configurable memory allocation.
Brotli compression for modern browsers with Gzip fallback. Up to 30% smaller payloads vs Gzip alone. Enabled by default for all accounts.
Real-time server status monitoring โ CPU, RAM, disk, load average, uptime, and per-service status (Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB, Redis, Postfix, Dovecot).
HPanel detects total RAM and CPU on first boot and auto-tunes Nginx workers, FastCGI cache zones, PHP-FPM pool sizes, and timeouts. A 2GB VPS gets tight, efficient settings. A 128+ GB server gets aggressive caching and high concurrency. Zero manual tuning needed.
Automatic, no config files to edit
When a user switches PHP version, HPanel only reloads that user's active PHP-FPM pool, not all 6 versions. Graceful reload instead of restart means zero dropped requests, no OPcache flush, and no 3-5 second cold-start delays for other users.
Zero-downtime PHP version switching
WordPress's built-in wp-cron.php fires on every page load, adding 1-5 seconds of latency when background tasks queue up. HPanel disables wp-cron and installs a real Linux system cron job per site. Background tasks run on schedule without blocking visitor requests.
Eliminates random WP slowdowns
FastCGI cache keys_zone and max_size scale dynamically based on server RAM. A 2GB VPS gets 10m/128m, a 128+ GB server gets 200m/4g. No manual nginx.conf editing, no swap pressure, no wasted memory. HPanel figures out the optimal size automatically.
Prevents swap thrashing on small VPS
Every system command (SSL, DNS, PHP, email, backups) runs through a hardened execution layer. No shell interpolation, no injection surface. HPanel uses Node.js native APIs and array-mode spawnSync for all operations. User inputs never touch a shell.
Zero shell injection attack surface
All service changes (Nginx config, PHP-FPM pools, Postfix maps, SSL certs) use graceful reload, not restart. Active connections finish serving, new config loads seamlessly. WordPress sites never see a blip during account provisioning or config changes.
No dropped connections, ever

The hosting account dashboard โ everything an end-user needs for their website, email, databases, and more.
Three migration methods โ worker-based architecture with progress tracking, logging, and parallel execution.
Upload a cPanel full backup (.tar.gz). HPanel extracts and migrates websites, databases, emails, SSL, and DNS records automatically.
Best for: Single account migrations
Connect to a remote cPanel server via SSH. HPanel creates a backup remotely, downloads it, and migrates the account โ all from the panel.
Best for: Remote server migrations
Migrate all accounts from a remote server at once. Select accounts, migrate in parallel with real-time progress tracking (5% โ 100%).
Best for: Full server migrations
