About Vanta Panel

Hosting you actually own.

Vanta Panel is a self-hosted web hosting control panel – a modern cPanel/WHM alternative – that you install on your own Ubuntu or Debian VPS with one command. Vanta Panel is not related to Vanta (vanta.com, compliance software), Vantablack or Vantaa.

We are new, so instead of asking you to take our word for anything, this page lists what you can check yourself: the signed release manifest, the live demo, the public documentation and a free tier that is the identical build.

The idea

Why does Vanta Panel exist?

Because a control panel should not cost more for every customer you add. Traditional panels are powerful, but they license per account and fix what a server may run. Vanta Panel is one panel you install on your own VPS, priced per server: $10 a month on Unlimited whether it hosts ten accounts or a thousand, and every tier is the whole product.

  • Priced by the server, never the account

    The number stops moving as you grow, because the thing we count is servers, and you already know how many of those you have. See the pricing

  • Every tier is the whole panel

    Free, Basic and Unlimited differ in three numbers only: accounts, mailboxes and databases. No feature is held back for a higher plan.

  • Your server, your customers’ data

    Because it is self-hosted, your customers’ files, mail and databases never leave a server you control. We have no access to it.

  • Built for how applications run today

    Beyond PHP sites, Node.js, Python and Java apps run as managed services on the same server, next to a real mail server and authoritative DNS.

At a glance

What are the key facts about Vanta Panel?

Everything in one place: what Vanta Panel is, how it installs, what it costs, how releases are signed and whom to contact. The same facts appear everywhere on this site, because every page reads them from one source.

Two panels, one install

What does Vanta Panel do?

Vanta Panel ships as two faces of one install. vWHM is your admin console for provisioning accounts and setting limits; vPanel is the dashboard each account logs into to manage its domains, email, databases, files, SSL and backups. Beyond the basics it runs Java apps as services, a shared Apache Kafka broker with per-account logins, and Redis.

  • Runtimes most panels don’t offer

    Java apps run as managed services, a shared Apache Kafka broker gives each account its own SCRAM login and ACLs on prefixed topics, and Redis is enabled per account.

  • Plain and dependency-light

    It manages stock Apache, PHP‑FPM, MariaDB, Postfix, Dovecot and PowerDNS, with two-factor authentication, isolated accounts and automatic HTTPS on every site. Every feature in detail

Current release

Which version is shipping now?

Vanta Panel v5.48, released 6 Oct 2026. This block is read from the same release manifest every installed panel checks for updates, so it cannot drift from what actually shipped.

What changed: Smaller customer package: release-server tooling (release/) and internal developer notes are no longer included, and servers upgrading to 5.48 remove the copies older packages left behind. The panel never used these files.

What does Vanta Panel promise in writing?

Because Vanta Panel is self-hosted, nothing you host depends on us being reachable. These are the commitments that follow from that, written down in advance, including what happens when we are the thing that has gone wrong.

If you stop paying, nothing goes offline

DayWhat happens
Day 0The panel reverts to free-tier limits, so you cannot create new hosting accounts, mailboxes or databases, and a renewal banner appears in vWHM. Nothing existing is deleted.
Day 3Automated backups pause. Restoring an existing backup keeps working the whole time.
Day 7Your customers see a service notice in vPanel.
Day 14vWHM locks to the renewal screen.
Pay againEverything is restored on the next licence check, within minutes.

Sites, mail and DNS keep serving throughout.

  • Nothing we run sits in front of what you host

    Sites are ordinary Apache vhosts. Mail is Postfix and Dovecot in standard Maildir. DNS is PowerDNS. Databases are MySQL/MariaDB. Certificates are ordinary Let’s Encrypt certificates. The panel manages those services; it is not a proxy in their path.

  • There is no lock-in to unlock

    Backups are plain .tar.gz archives with mysqldump .sql files inside: open one with tar and read it. You can rsync the server elsewhere without asking us for anything. We hold no encryption key.

  • If we disappeared, your servers would not

    The panel is PHP source running on your own machine, with no hosted control plane to switch off. If our licensing server stopped answering, the panel keeps your paid limits for a 7-day signed grace window, then falls back to free-tier limits. It never locks you out of the machine.

  • The lapse schedule on the pricing page

Straight answer

What doesn’t Vanta Panel have?

No customer list, no certifications, no 24/7 rota and no uptime SLA. Most vendor About pages leave this section out, which is exactly why it is here: if any of these is a blocker for you, better that you learn it now than in month three.

  • We do not have a customer list to show you. We are a young product, and any logo wall we put here would be either borrowed or made up.
  • We are not SOC 2, ISO 27001 or PCI certified, and we do not run a bug bounty. Security reports go privately to security@vantapanel.com, as the security page describes.
  • We do not offer 24/7 support. We are a small team in one time zone and we aim to reply within one business day. A rota we cannot staff is worse than an honest number.
  • We do not publish an uptime SLA for the licensing service, because nothing you host depends on it: see the grace window above.
  • We have no star ratings, review-site scores or “trusted by N companies” figures anywhere on this site, because we have not earned any that would mean something.

What we offer instead: a free tier that is the same build, a demo you can click through before you talk to us, documentation that includes the migration guide in full, and a 14-day money-back window on your first payment. Put one real customer on it before you move fifty. Questions go to support@vantapanel.com, and a person answers them.

Install it and judge it yourself.

One command on a fresh Ubuntu or Debian VPS. The free tier needs no card and no trial clock.
