Hosting control panel you run on your own VPS.
Qadbak replaces cPanel-style workflows with a single admin and client UI: sites, mail, DNS, TLS, databases, files, and scheduled backups — without sending customer data to our servers.

Platform
Day-to-day hosting operations
Core features ship in the public repository. Install once on a fresh VPS and manage everything from the browser — as root operator or scoped client.
Mailboxes, forwarding, SPF/DKIM/DMARC helpers, delivery logs. Per-domain isolation for clients.
DNS
BIND9 records with a registrar checklist so clients know what to paste at their provider.
Databases & PHP
MariaDB users per site, phpMyAdmin shortcut, PHP version and pool settings per unix user.
Files & shell
File manager and terminal as the domain user — not shared root access.
Backups
Downloadable archives: site files, all maildirs, panel config, DNS zone, certificates, crontab.
Operator tools
Built for people who run the server
Action journal
Each change records the commands and config files touched — readable audit trail, not raw syslog hunting.
Undo (selected actions)
Reverse mailbox and DNS record changes from the UI when safety checks pass (24h window).
Health overview
Disk, memory, certificate expiry, and service status in one place with suggested fix commands.
WordPress install
One guided flow: domain, database, download, config — logged as a single journal entry.
Pricing
One-time payment in EUR
50 domains · 1 VPS per license · full Premium. Key by email after checkout. 14-day refund if the key was never activated.

Common questions
No. Clone the repo, run the installer, and use core features without payment. Premium unlocks reseller modules, webmail, white-label, and related features.
Customer sites, mail, and databases stay on your VPS. With Premium, the panel sends a short license heartbeat to license.omiiba.dev — see our privacy policy.
Deactivate on the old panel (or remove the activation in Server admin), then activate on the new server with the same key. One active VPS per license by default.
