A hosting control panel alternative that meters nothing you host

Websites, email, DNS, SSL, databases, backups and customer accounts on your own Linux server, for one flat price however many customers you host. If a licence renewal sent you looking for a control panel alternative, this is what Dashmox does differently.

Why people switch

Three things a control panel alternative should get right.

A price that does not grow with you

Some panels cost more as a server hosts more accounts. A Dashmox licence covers the server: Pro hosts unlimited websites for $19.95 a month, and the hundredth customer costs what the first did.

A panel people can find their way around

Every tool is one search away: type a domain, a customer or "ufw ports" and land on it. Long forms are pages, not boxes that scroll, and every page says what it does.

Safe settings from the first website

Websites are isolated, protection against scanners and password guessing is on, and the firewall refuses a rule that would cut you off from your own panel.

What comes across

The jobs your panel does today, and how Dashmox does them.

The jobIn Dashmox
Websites and PHPStatic, PHP with several versions side by side, Node.js applications and reverse proxies, each website in its own Linux account.
Email and webmailPostfix and Dovecot mailboxes, forwarding, Roundcube webmail, DKIM signing, spam filtering and automatic mail client setup.
DNS zonesAuthoritative PowerDNS with your own nameservers, created automatically with each website.
SSL/TLSLet's Encrypt for every website, renewed automatically, or your own certificate checked before it is installed.
MySQL databasesMySQL or MariaDB, chosen when the server is built, with an account per database, SQL import, backups, storage limits and phpMyAdmin. PostgreSQL too, on the same server or instead of it.
File manager and FTPA browser file manager, SFTP locked to each website, and extra file transfer accounts.
BackupsFile snapshots and recovery points with every database, on a schedule, copied to S3 or SFTP.
Installing WordPressEleven applications, each at the version its publisher has now and checked before unpacking, with website copies for staging.
Accounts and packagesCustomers with their own logins, hosting packages, allowances and roles.
Billing and automationModules for WHMCS, FOSSBilling and Blesta, so an order creates the account and the website. How the billing modules work.
TransfersWebsites pulled over SSH from any Linux server, archives and account backups imported, and whole servers moved an account at a time from the most widely used hosting panel.

Switching

Change panels without leaving your websites behind.

Give Dashmox SSH access to the old server, or upload a backup. It lists what it found before it creates anything, then moves the files, databases and domains.

Questions about switching

Is Dashmox an alternative to the panel I use now?

If your panel hosts websites, email, DNS, SSL certificates, databases, backups and customer accounts with hosting packages, Dashmox does those jobs. It runs on your own Linux server, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS today, and is priced per server rather than per account. It also plugs into WHMCS, FOSSBilling and Blesta, so the billing you already run keeps working.

Is Dashmox priced per account?

No. A licence covers a server, and Pro hosts as many websites and customer accounts as that server can hold for $19.95 a month. Adding a customer never changes the price.

Can I move my websites from my old panel?

Yes. Let Dashmox sign in to the old server over SSH and pull a website across, or upload an archive of its files. Full account backups in the most widely used hosting panel's format are read as they are, with their databases and domains. WordPress and Joomla are pointed at their new database, and before anything is created Dashmox shows what it found and what will not come across.

Your servers, with nothing on them counted.

The whole panel is free on one server, with no limit on websites, mailboxes, DNS zones or customer accounts. Pro carries five servers and Business as many as you run.
