A stack for every account
Each hosting account runs in its own set of containers. CPU and memory limits are set on each container.
// SmashPanel
One panel for every site you host.
Domains, databases, DNS, mail and SSL for the accounts you host. Each hosting account runs in its own set of containers.
Smash Hit Hosting runs SmashPanel on its own servers.
// Why SmashPanel
One panel for the work of hosting
For small hosting companies, resellers, agencies and developers who want the sites they host in one place.
Sites, DNS and SSL together
Domains, authoritative DNS and automatic Let's Encrypt certificates, issued and renewed for you.
Mail when you want it
Mailboxes and SOGo webmail from an optional Mailcow stack, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC written into DNS.
Built for resellers
A reseller portal, white-label name and logo, and a Reseller API for the accounts you provision.
// Features
What you run from the panel
See the full feature list, grouped by hosting, mail, deploy, resellers and security.
PHP 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4
Each account runs on NGINX or Apache. Apache honours .htaccess.
MariaDB for the account
A MariaDB 11 server per hosting account, plus database users and Adminer.
Files and SFTP
A web file manager with its own login, and SFTP on a port of its own.
Staging and GitHub
A staging copy of a site, and deploys from a GitHub repository on push.
// Migration
Move a cPanel account yourself
Upload a full account backup, pull a live server over SSH, or run the command-line import. Website files, a database dump and DNS can come across. Mail is a separate copy, cron jobs are recreated, and SSL is issued again.
// How it works
From the internet to a site
A request reaches the edge, then the account's own containers. DNS, optional mail and a host agent sit beside that path.
Edge
One reverse proxy terminates HTTPS and routes each hostname to the right account.
Portals
Admin, reseller and client areas, from the same panel.
Account stacks
Each hosting account runs in its own set of containers. CPU and memory limits are set on each container.
DNS
Authoritative DNS, with a zone created when the account is created.
Email
Optional Mailcow stack for mailboxes and webmail.
Host agent
A local service that applies firewall, process and IP changes on the server.
