An Open-Source cPanel & Plesk Alternative

Commercial panels charge per server, and the price rises with every account. Laranode is a free hosting control panel under the MIT license, so the only thing you pay for is the VPS.

No license fees

cPanel starts at $29.99 a month for a single account. Laranode costs nothing, whether you host one site or a hundred. Laranode vs cPanel

Focused on websites

Accounts, sites, per-site PHP versions, SSL, MySQL, the firewall and off-server backups. Email and DNS aren't included, so keep those with a dedicated provider. Laranode vs Plesk

Open source you can read

It's a standard Laravel and React app, MIT licensed, so you can audit, fork and extend it. Compare open-source panels
