About CloudPanel
CloudPanel is a modern server control panel designed for performance and simplicity. It combines NGINX and PHP-FPM into a fast hosting stack for PHP applications such as WordPress, Laravel or Symfony, and includes database management, free Let’s Encrypt certificates and a clean, responsive interface. Unlike cPanel or Plesk, CloudPanel has no licence fees or legacy baggage. With Managed CloudPanel Hosting, you receive the control panel and server as a managed environment – we take care of server maintenance.
Who is CloudPanel suitable for?
CloudPanel is ideal for web agencies and freelancers who want to host multiple client websites on a single server: unlimited domains, separate sites and databases per client, and one-click SSL make management straightforward. SMEs wishing to manage their own WordPress company website and other PHP applications will also find this a streamlined alternative to expensive cPanel or Plesk licences. Developers working on Laravel or Symfony projects appreciate the pre-configured NGINX/PHP-FPM stack, which delivers good response times without the need for manual server tuning.
CloudPanel hosting in Switzerland
OpenHosting operates your CloudPanel server in Swiss data centres in the Zurich region. This means your clients’ websites and databases remain in Switzerland and are processed in accordance with the nDSG – a point you can highlight to your own clients. Daily backups based on the 3-2-1 principle safeguard the control panel, websites and databases; the Business Plan adds hourly backups, remote backups and the ability to manage multiple servers under a single administration.
System updates and ongoing monitoring are included in the managed hosting service, ensuring that the server remains secure and up to date without you having to worry about operating system patches. Our support team is on hand to assist you with migrating existing websites from cPanel, Plesk or another hosting provider. Managed CloudPanel hosting is available from OpenHosting from CHF 9 per month – with unlimited domains, daily backups and email support.
