Features
One panel. Every service.
Vanta Panel covers the full web hosting workflow and adds the modern runtimes most panels leave out — all self-hosted on a VPS you control, for one flat licence per server.

What a deploy tool cannot give you
A panel you can actually sell hosting on
The flat-price newcomers — CloudPanel, RunCloud and the rest — are deploy tools. They put a site on a server, and stop. No mail server, no authoritative DNS, and nothing for your customer to log into. Those three are not features you bolt on later; they are the product. Vanta Panel ships all three on day one.
A real mail server
Not a relay you rent by the message. Mailboxes, forwarders, autoresponders and webmail on your own box, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up for every domain you add. A deploy tool hands you a server with no mail on it at all.
Authoritative DNS & private nameservers
Point ns1 and ns2 at your own VPS and every new account gets its zone created automatically, with a full record editor beside it. No Cloudflare account in the middle of your customers’ DNS.
A panel your customers log into
vWHM is your control room, vPanel is theirs. Customers manage their own domains, email, databases, files and backups — which is the difference between selling hosting and doing everyone’s admin for them.

One install, nothing to bolt on

Questions
Feature FAQ
Does Vanta Panel include email hosting?
Yes — create mailboxes, forwarders and autoresponders per account, with webmail so customers can read and send mail from any browser.
Can I host multiple websites and domains?
Yes. Add domains, subdomains and addon domains, each with parking, redirects and its own free SSL certificate. The free tier runs one hosting account; a $10 licence makes accounts, mailboxes and databases unlimited on that server.
Does it include DNS and private nameservers?
Yes — a full DNS zone editor plus built-in authoritative nameservers (PowerDNS). Run your own ns1/ns2 on your VPS and each account's zone is created automatically, no Cloudflare needed.
What app runtimes does it support beyond PHP?
Multiple PHP versions, plus Node.js and Python apps as managed services, Java apps, Apache Kafka event streaming and Redis — with Git deploys and cron jobs for everything else.
Is SSL automatic?
Yes — one-click Let's Encrypt with automatic HTTPS on every new site, renewed for you.
Can I migrate from cPanel?
Yes. Built-in cPanel import brings over accounts, websites, databases and email, so you can move without rebuilding.
How is this different from CloudPanel or RunCloud?
Those are deploy tools: they put a site on a server and stop. They do not run a mail server, they are not authoritative for your DNS, and they give your customer nothing to log into. Vanta Panel ships all three, which is what you need to actually sell shared hosting.
Every service above is documented — see the documentation, or ask us before you install.
