Overview
OpenPanel is a web hosting control panel built around containers, giving each user an isolated web server, database, private network, and file storage.
Features and best fit
Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:
Isolate web, database, network, and storage resources per user
Container-centered isolation creates boundaries between hosting users on shared infrastructure.
Centralize common web-hosting operations in a control panel
It manages websites, databases, files, and service configuration from a hosting-oriented interface.
For shared hosting that still requires strong per-user separation
It suits hosting environments that want multiple users on shared hardware without a shared runtime context.
Verify edition boundaries and component-specific license terms
The README states that OpenAdmin/OpenPanel UI use an EULA while OpenCLI and configuration files use CC BY-NC.

Supplemental curator note
OpenPanel stands out for per-user isolation. Its README describes different terms for UI versus OpenCLI/configuration, so verify the license terms for the components you use.
