Your server, your control panel
Reqad is fully open source and free to self-host. One clean dashboard to manage every domain on a single VPS - no per-account licensing, no lock-in.
- Free forever for self-hosting
- Single-admin model, built for one VPS with many domains
- Runs on Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and RHEL 8 & 9
Migration
Move from cPanel in minutes
Reqad runs on the same proven stack you already trust - nginx or Apache, MariaDB, exim/dovecot - so sites, mail and databases come across cleanly with the built-in transfer wizard.
- Guided cPanel transfer & import wizard
- Bring SSH/WHM account data, domains and databases
- Same or better technology - no surprises
PHP
Multiple PHP versions, per account
Pick a PHP version for each account and switch any time. Tune OPcache, APCu and disable_functions from the UI - every pool isolated and hardened.
- PHP 7.x & 8.x via Remi
- Per-account version switching
- OPcache / APCu / php.ini editor
SSL & DNS
Certificates and DNS, handled
Free Let's Encrypt / ACME certificates for the panel and every hosted domain, plus DNS management through Cloudflare, cPanel or PowerDNS.
- Automated Let's Encrypt issuance & renewal
- Cloudflare / cPanel / PowerDNS providers
- Wildcard & multi-domain support
Optimized & secure
Hardened and monitored by default
Dedicated isolated PHP-FPM pools, open_basedir, a recommended disable_functions set, CSF firewall and monit - fast, lean and locked down out of the box.
- Isolated per-account PHP-FPM pools
- CSF firewall + monit monitoring
- Service control: start / stop / restart
File Manager
File manager built into the panel
An account-level file manager opened straight from the Accounts list. Browse any hosting account's home directory, edit files, set permissions and compress or extract archives — all running as the account's own user, jailed to its home.
- Breadcrumb navigation with symlink awareness; size, octal permissions and mtime per entry
- Create, rename, move, chmod, upload, download and delete files or whole folders — individually or in bulk
- Built-in CodeMirror editor for text files (PHP, JS, CSS, HTML, Python, shell, SQL)
- Compress to .zip / .tar.gz; extract uploaded archives into a target folder
