Developers have specific requirements from a cloud hosting control panel: flexible PHP version management across multiple applications, Git-based deployment workflows, the ability to connect to their cloud provider of choice, and a panel that handles the operational overhead of server management efficiently without imposing interface friction. DevPanel is a cloud hosting control panel designed by developers, for developers.
Multi-Cloud Flexibility
DevPanel connects with the major cloud platforms — AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, and others — allowing teams to deploy their preferred infrastructure without changing their management panel. This multi-cloud flexibility provides negotiating leverage with cloud providers, allows different workloads to be deployed on the most cost-effective infrastructure, and insulates teams from the impact of provider-specific outages.
PHP Management Depth
Multiple PHP versions can run simultaneously on the same server, with per-site PHP version assignment that allows different applications to run on the version they require without interference. Switching a site's PHP version is a matter of seconds. This matters practically for agencies managing heterogeneous client portfolios where a single server might host legacy applications requiring PHP 7.4 alongside modern applications targeting PHP 8.3.
Git-Based Deployment Workflows
DevPanel's Git integration enables push-to-deploy configurations allowing code changes committed to a specified branch to trigger automatic deployment to the associated environment. The ability to provision staging environments mirroring production configuration allows code to be tested in realistic conditions before deployment.
Security Defaults Built for Production
Automatic Let's Encrypt SSL, UFW firewall configuration, fail2ban brute force protection, and SSH key-based authentication are enabled and configured through the DevPanel interface rather than requiring manual server-level setup. Two-factor authentication for DevPanel account access and role-based access controls for team members complete a production-appropriate security architecture.
