WebDeck manages websites, email, DNS, databases, backups, security and apps — properly, on every supported distribution and web server. Here's the whole list.
Customers confined to their own files, unable to see each other, and unable to hog the box. Kernel-enforced resource caps — the thing people buy CloudLinux for, built in. Since 2.2.0 each site's caps, PHP version, modules and settings all live on one per-site environment, so isolation is complete. No CloudLinux licence, and SELinux stays enforcing.
The headline feature, and the one cPanel needs CloudLinux for. Every website
runs its own dedicated PHP process with its own version, its own extensions, its
own php.ini and its own kernel-enforced resource limits — completely isolated
from every other site on the server. No shared PHP, no bad-neighbour effect, no
CloudLinux licence.
Describe the site you want and WebDeck builds it in front of you — a full, responsive page that appears live in a preview as it's generated. When it looks right, publish puts it live in one click.
Four roles, real quotas with overselling protection, and branding that cascades — your reseller's customers see your reseller's brand, never yours.
Decide exactly what each package includes — and how much AI it can use on your key, with the cost in front of you before you sell it.
Clone a WordPress site to a staging subdomain, work on it in peace, then push it back to the live site in one go.
.htaccess
WebDeck finds every WordPress install on a site — even ones in subfolders that it didn't create — and tells you which ones need attention.
Twelve one-click hardening options for every WordPress site, a nightly check for known holes, and one button to update everything.
Connect a GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or other Git repository to a website, then deploy with one button — or automatically every time you push.
.git folder never goes live.webdeck.yml can run commands like composer install, as the website's own account, with time and memory limits
Not "we tar your files up". WebDeck rebuilds an entire server onto bare metal — and tests its own backups to prove they'd actually work.
Deleted an account by mistake? Bring it back from a panel backup, websites and all. Or put a website back as it was on a chosen day.
The panel knows how the server is doing — and fixes most problems before you find out about them.
Sensible defaults, not a checkbox exercise.
Point the importer at a cPanel backup and it recreates the account properly — not a half-import that leaves you fixing things for a week.
Not a token WordPress button. Fifty-seven applications, each installed properly — database created, permissions set, config written, SSL live from the first request. Apps that need Composer get their dependencies installed too, so they actually run.
Multiple versions side by side, and — since 2.2.0 — a complete PHP environment per website: each site's version, modules and settings are its own, isolated from every other site. Works on every OS and every web stack, not just Debian.
Site owners tune their own PHP-FPM — how long a request may run and how many run at once — within the limits you set and the resources their plan allows.
A full mail server — Postfix and Dovecot — with the deliverability records set up for you. Most panels leave DKIM as homework. WebDeck does it on day one, then checks its own work.
A modern spam filter (rspamd) that you switch on with one click. Spam lands in Junk, nothing is deleted, and each mailbox can be tuned on its own.
Every mailbox gets automatic replies and simple rules, set up in plain English — no scripts to write.
A search-engine check-up for every website, right in the customer panel — a score, a plain list of what to fix, and a quick way to get listed.
sitemap.xml built from the site’s pages
Visits, pages, referring sites and errors for every website, by day and by month — long after the raw logs have rotated away.
Built from the server's own access logs — so it works on every site with no tracking script, no third-party JavaScript, and nothing added to the page.
Every name is checked before Let's Encrypt is asked, so a domain that isn't pointed here yet doesn't hold up the rest — or burn through Let's Encrypt's limits.
The bit every other panel gets wrong. A fresh WebDeck install gets a free hostname with a browser-trusted certificate — so the panel has a padlock before you've pointed a single domain at the box.

One nameserver is a single point of failure. Add a second machine and WebDeck puts a full copy of every zone on it, so your customers' DNS keeps answering even if the main server is offline. You run one command on the new box — it installs PowerDNS, configures itself as a secondary and registers back with the panel on its own.
Run your own nameservers with PowerDNS. Zones are created automatically when you add a site, and WebDeck watches them to make sure they stay healthy.
Make WebDeck yours. Your name, your logo, your colours — customers never see ours.
Customers can set their own daily or weekly backups for each website, at the time they choose — on top of your nightly backups, never instead of them.
A real file manager in the browser. Fix a config typo, upload a logo, check permissions — without opening a terminal or making your customer install FileZilla.
Real monthly web traffic, per site and per account, counted by the web server itself — and your choice of what happens when someone runs out.
MySQL and MariaDB, with phpMyAdmin one click away and single sign-on so nobody has to remember another password.
A mailbox's size is now a real limit. A full mailbox refuses new mail politely instead of quietly filling the server's disk.
Create a site and WebDeck does the lot: virtual host, document root, PHP pool, DNS zone, SSL certificate. Then hands you the tools to run it.
Stop SSHing in to read a log file. Access and error logs for every site, plus mail and panel logs, right where you're already working.
Scheduled tasks without the cron syntax anxiety. Common schedules are presets; the fields are there if you know what you're doing.
Free to download, installs in minutes, and you can run a 14-day trial on any host.
