Roadmap

Where Reqad is headed

Reqad is in active early-access development. Here's the build plan step by step, what's working today, and what we're exploring. Plans evolve - this isn't a fixed commitment.

Ready for the next release In progress Next Planned

Secure web login

core ready for the next release
  • Login page for the admin panel, with brute-force protection and automatic firewall bans
  • Two-factor authentication with recovery codes, and passkeys
  • Confirmation before sensitive changes, remembered devices, email codes for new devices and login alerts
  • Firewall allowlist for the panel port, with automatic rollback if you lock yourself out
  • Brute-force protection for webmail logins

Account isolation

core ready for the next release
  • Hardened kernel settings and tighter file permissions between sites
  • Accounts see only their own processes
  • CPU, memory and process limits for SSH, cron and the browser terminal
  • Shell access per account: full, jailed (own home only) or SFTP only
  • MySQL connection limit per account
  • Check and fix the owners and permissions of an account's files, with an undo script

Foundations

core in progress
  • Per-account scope, limits and events - the base for hosting packages and the account panel
  • Groundwork for more web server stacks
  • "Needs attention" on the dashboard: certificates, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, PHP versions, WordPress updates, disk, services and backups
  • REST API with scoped, expiring access tokens - accounts, databases, mailboxes, WordPress, services, mail queue and logs (off by default)

Deployments

core ready for the next release

Off by default; one switch turns on both.

  • Git deployments from GitHub, GitLab, Gitea or Bitbucket, on every push by signed webhook, with build steps, atomic releases, a health check and one-click rollback
  • Node.js and Python apps, run as the account's own user in their own sandboxed service and served through nginx with SSL and websockets
  • Presets for PHP, Laravel, static sites, Node.js and Python, and managed Node.js and Python versions
  • Deploy with git push to the server itself

AI integration via MCP

core ready for the next release

Manage your server from your own AI assistant: Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients. Off by default.

  • Connects over SSH, with nothing new opened to the internet; works from Linux, macOS and Windows (PuTTY / Pageant)
  • Server status, what needs attention, logs, the mail queue, services, accounts, databases, mailboxes, deployments and apps
  • WordPress: versions and available updates, core / plugin / theme updates with a database backup first and caches emptied after
  • Tokens for the whole server or one account, read-only or not, expiring; deletes need your confirmation, and every call is logged
  • Connections over HTTPS, for assistants that cannot use SSH

Reqad Hosting Pro

premium in progress
  • Hosting packages: limits for mailboxes, databases, addon domains, subdomains, aliases, cron jobs, SSH keys, deployments and apps, plus session limits, database connections and shell access
  • Disk quotas, and a size for each mailbox with warning mails at 90% and when it is full
  • Monthly bandwidth per account; over it, the package decides: warn, slow the sites down or suspend the account
  • Account suspension: the sites show a suspended page and logins are refused, while mail keeps arriving
  • Dedicated IP addresses per account, IPv4 and IPv6 (also behind NAT): its sites, outgoing mail with a matching reverse DNS, and DNS records
  • Scheduled malware scanning per account with ClamAV and ImunifyAV
  • nginx in front of Apache with php-fpm: full .htaccess support, static files served by nginx

Account panel on port 2083

premium planned

A separate control panel for each hosting account: a familiar card layout, issues that need attention up front with one-click fixes, and WP Toolkit.

Account-level MCP

premium planned

MCP access for hosting customers, scoped to their own account.

Migration from cPanel

premium planned
  • Import accounts from a cPanel backup archive, with no SSH access to the old server needed
  • Improved migration of whole cPanel/WHM servers
