The Easy Hosting Control Panel (EHCP) is a fully functional, advanced, free, and open source website panel platform that provides a user interface for creating and managing multiple administrators, resellers, users, websites, FTP accounts, MySQL databases, email accounts, and more!  EHCP works on most Debian based operating systems.  EHCP Force Edition works best on and has been tested thoroughly on all supported versions of Ubuntu.

EHCP even installs and configures your web server software (by default, EHCP Force uses Apache2) for you while also providing additional security by slip streaming and including fail2ban and DDoS automatic banning (against Apache).  EHCP Force now properly supports nginx (SSL and Non-SSL) integration should you wish to choose more efficient web server software.

Latest Updates & Changes

To see what has changed in the latest version, please read our update log.

Force Edition

EHCP Force Edition is a forked version of the original EHCP.  The original version can be downloaded and installed from www.ehcp.net.

The Force Edition slightly differs from the original version.  In fact, both the lead developer of the original EHCP release and I collaborate on updating EHCP and fixing bugs.  In my version, custom FTP accounts to a custom file path can be created.  Also, php chmod and FTP chmod should both work out-of-the-box since the Apache user has been changed.  The code is managed and maintained within SVN (it is not in the original EHCP).  As new versions of Ubuntu are released, the Force Edition is quickly updated to work with the latest versions of packaged software within the main repositories.

Themes
