Hi Hunters! 👋
I'm Gabriel, the maker of Opterius. I built it because I was tired of paying cPanel ($54/mo) + WHMCS ($19/mo) per server just to run a small hosting business — and watching the prices climb every year after WebPros acquired them.
Opterius is one bundle that replaces both:
Opterius Panel — modern control panel (accounts, domains, DNS, SSL, email, MySQL, backups, file manager, cron, malware scanner)
Opterius Commerce — free WHMCS alternative (storefront, billing, customer portal, support tickets, auto-provisioning)
Opterius WebMail — open-source Roundcube replacement with a clean, modern UI
What makes it different from other "free panels" out there:
🟢 Free forever, not a trial — 5 accounts, no credit card, no countdown timer
🟢 Premium features included — wildcard SSL, multi-server, traffic analytics, uptime monitoring, white-label portal, WordPress security center — all free
🟢 Privacy-friendly analytics built in — no third-party scripts, no cookies, parsed from your access logs
🟢 Self-hosted, AGPL-licensed — your customers' data lives where you can see it
🟢 cPanel migration tool included — drop a cPanel backup, get back files, databases, email (with original passwords), DNS, SSL, cron — automatically
🟢 Two-mode UI — server admins get a WHM-style fleet view, hosting customers get a clean per-account dashboard
One-line install. Works on Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12, AlmaLinux 8/9, Rocky Linux. Done in 5 minutes.
Would love your feedback on what to build next. The roadmap is shaped by hosting companies and freelancers who use it daily.
