Deploy a KeyHelp Cloud VPS with Host4Fun. AMD Ryzen, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD, 10 Gbps. Install KeyHelp — the modern free hosting panel with elegant UI — on your Cloud VPS. From $3/mo.
KeyHelp is a modern, free web hosting control panel developed by Keyweb AG, a German hosting company. It features a clean, polished interface that stands out among free panels for its design quality and user experience. KeyHelp is completely free for self-hosted VPS deployments — no license fee, no domain limits, no per-user charges.
KeyHelp provides a complete hosting management suite — Nginx or Apache web server, multi-PHP version management, MySQL/MariaDB databases, Postfix + Dovecot email hosting, Bind DNS, Let's Encrypt SSL automation, and FTP management — all from a visually clean, responsive dashboard.
On a Host4Fun Cloud VPS, KeyHelp runs on fully isolated KVM hardware with dedicated AMD Ryzen cores, DDR5 RAM, and NVMe SSD. KeyHelp's elegant interface and zero licensing cost make it an excellent choice for developers, agencies, and hosting businesses who want a polished panel experience without the cPanel price tag.
KeyHelp installs via a single command on a fresh Debian or Ubuntu VPS. The installer configures Nginx (or Apache), PHP-FPM, MySQL/MariaDB, Postfix mail, Dovecot IMAP, Bind DNS, and the KeyHelp panel within 10-15 minutes.
Host4Fun delivers the Cloud VPS with full root access. SSH in, run the KeyHelp installer, and access the clean, modern panel at port 8443. No license key required — KeyHelp is completely free for VPS deployments.
A complete feature set tailored for the KeyHelp control panel on a high-performance Cloud VPS.
KeyHelp is widely praised for the quality of its UI design — clean, modern, and significantly more polished than most free hosting panels. The responsive dashboard provides a professional hosting management experience comparable to paid panels.
One-click SSL provisioning and auto-renewal via Let's Encrypt for all hosted domains. Force HTTPS, configure HSTS, and manage wildcard certificates from KeyHelp's SSL management interface. Automatic renewal requires no manual intervention.
Install and run multiple PHP versions simultaneously with per-domain version selection. KeyHelp manages PHP-FPM pools per domain — switch PHP versions without downtime or affecting other hosted sites.
Postfix MTA with Dovecot IMAP/POP3, SpamAssassin spam filtering, and Roundcube webmail included. Manage email accounts, forwarders, aliases, DKIM/SPF/DMARC per domain from KeyHelp's clean email management interface.
Per-user database management with a clean interface. phpMyAdmin available directly from the panel. Create databases, manage users, and configure permissions without CLI database administration.
KeyHelp supports multiple user accounts with configurable resource limits. Admin creates user accounts with disk quotas, bandwidth limits, email account limits, and database quotas — suitable for agencies managing multiple client sites.
Schedule automated backups of websites, databases, and email with configurable retention. Configure backup destinations (local storage, FTP) and restore individual accounts or files from KeyHelp's backup manager.
Built-in fail2ban integration for brute-force protection of SSH, FTP, SMTP, and panel login. KeyHelp's security module provides a clean interface for managing protection rules without editing fail2ban configuration files directly.
Choose Nginx or Apache as your web server during KeyHelp installation. Nginx delivers faster static file serving and PHP-FPM efficiency. Apache provides full .htaccess compatibility. Both are well-supported by KeyHelp.
