Deploy a CentOS Web Panel (CWP) Cloud VPS with Host4Fun. AMD Ryzen, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD, 10 Gbps. Install CWP free hosting control panel on your Cloud VPS. From $3/mo.
CentOS Web Panel (CWP) is a free web hosting control panel designed exclusively for RHEL-based Linux distributions — AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and CentOS. It provides a comprehensive hosting management suite with web server management, email, DNS, databases, FTP, and security tools from a single browser-based interface.
CWP includes an unusually wide range of built-in features compared to other free panels — a built-in CSF firewall, ModSecurity WAF, automatic malware scanner, CloudLinux-like process isolation (CageFS), and a PHP version switcher with support for multiple PHP versions simultaneously.
On a Host4Fun Cloud VPS running AlmaLinux 8, CWP delivers a feature-rich free hosting panel on isolated KVM hardware with dedicated AMD Ryzen cores, DDR5 RAM, and NVMe SSD — a solid choice for RHEL-based hosting environments.
CWP installs via a single command on AlmaLinux 8. The installer configures the full hosting stack — Apache or Nginx (or both), PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, Postfix + Dovecot mail, Bind DNS, ProFTPD, and CSF firewall — within 15-20 minutes.
Host4Fun delivers the Cloud VPS with full root access. SSH in, run the CWP installer on AlmaLinux 8, and access the admin panel at port 2030. No license required for the free edition.
A complete feature set tailored for the CentOS Web Panel control panel on a high-performance Cloud VPS.
CWP includes ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) as a built-in component — one of the most powerful Linux server firewalls available. Configure firewall rules, IP whitelist/blacklist, brute-force detection, and port management directly from the CWP panel.
ModSecurity Web Application Firewall is integrated into CWP's web server stack. Protect all hosted sites from SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and other common web attacks with CWP's built-in WAF configuration interface.
CWP supports Apache, Nginx, and LiteSpeed as web server options. Choose your preferred stack during setup or switch later. Apache + Nginx dual-stack is also supported for combining static file performance with .htaccess compatibility.
Automatic SSL provisioning and renewal via Let's Encrypt for all hosted domains. Force HTTPS, manage wildcard certificates, and configure HSTS from the CWP SSL management interface.
Install and switch between multiple PHP versions with per-domain PHP version selection. CWP supports PHP 5.x through 8.x with PHP-FPM isolation — switch PHP versions per domain without service interruptions.
Postfix MTA with Dovecot IMAP/POP3, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and Roundcube webmail. Manage email accounts, forwarders, DKIM/SPF/DMARC, and spam policies per domain from the CWP email interface.
CWP supports admin, reseller, and end-user account tiers with configurable resource packages. Resellers can manage their own client accounts independently — disk quotas, bandwidth limits, email counts, and database limits per account.
Create and manage MySQL and MariaDB databases with CWP's database management interface. phpMyAdmin available directly from the panel with per-account database quotas configurable through user packages.
Real-time CPU, RAM, disk, and bandwidth monitoring per account. Built-in Munin integration for historical performance graphs. Admin-level overview of all hosted accounts with resource usage summaries.
