Hosting panels are too expensive, too slow and too complex
Rising licence costs, hundreds of MB RAM usage, and features nobody asked for. Sound familiar?
Rising licence costs
Plesk and cPanel regularly increase prices. WordPress staging, reseller features and advanced backups cost extra. It adds up quickly.
Resource hogs
2 GB RAM just for the panel? On small VPS servers there is barely room for actual websites. enconf needs under 60 MB.
No real isolation
Many panels rely only on file permissions. enconf isolates every customer with a dedicated Linux user, PHP-FPM pool and AppArmor profile at OS level.
Professional Email Hosting — No External Services Required
Full mail stack with IMAP, SMTP and intelligent spam filtering — the same architecture used by large providers. Fully integrated into the panel, no separate mail server needed.
Mailboxes & Forwarding
Unlimited mailboxes and email forwarders per domain. Catch-all addresses, individual quotas, auto-responders for out-of-office messages. All managed from a single interface.
Intelligent Anti-Spam
Machine-learning spam filter with greylisting, Bayes classifier and real-time blackhole lists (RBL). Configurable score thresholds, domain-specific whitelist/blacklist.
DKIM / SPF / DMARC
Automatic DNS records for email authentication. DKIM keys per domain, SPF records, DMARC policy — all configured with one click. Prevents spoofing and improves deliverability.
Mail SNI & TLS
Individual TLS certificates per mail domain (Server Name Indication). SMTP and IMAP servers configured automatically. Your customers see their own certificate — not the server's.
Webmail Access
Integrated webmail directly accessible from the panel. Customers access their mailboxes conveniently Integrated webmail with single sign-on. Customers log into the panel and access their mailbox directly — no separate password. Signed token with 60-second validity.mdash; from anywhere, without a local mail client.
Rate Limiting & Spam Prevention
Maximum emails per hour globally, per mailbox and per domain. Prevents spam from compromised accounts. SMTP egress firewall blocks direct connections to external mail servers.
Domains, Subdomains, Aliases — All with SSL
Real 301/302 redirects at the web server level, automatic SSL certificates for every domain, wildcard support — and preview URLs for development.
301/302 Redirects with SSL
Real server-level redirects at the web server level — no JavaScript hacks, no .htaccess workarounds. Permanent (301) or temporary (302), including automatic Let's Encrypt certificate for the source domain.
Domain Aliases
Point multiple domains to one website — as a mirror or with 301 redirect. SSL certificates are automatically extended with all aliases as SANs.
Subdomains
Unlimited subdomains with optional separate document root. Automatic DNS records and individual PHP configuration per subdomain.
Preview Domains
Temporary URLs for development before DNS is switched. Perfect for migrations and new projects — customers can test the site before it goes live.
Wildcard SSL (DNS-01)
Wildcard certificates via DNS-01 challenge through PowerDNS. One certificate for *.domain.com — automatic renewal included.
Custom Error Pages
Individual error pages for 403, 404, 500, 502 and 503. HTML upload per error code — your customers keep their branding, even when something goes wrong.
16 Isolation Layers — Defense in Depth
Not one firewall, but 16 interlocking security layers. Each one must be bypassed before an attacker can reach another customer's data.
ModSecurity WAF (OWASP CRS)
Web Application Firewall in front of every website. OWASP Core Rule Set blocks SQL injection, XSS, RCE and known attack vectors. Log viewer and rule exceptions directly in the panel.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
TOTP-based two-factor authentication with QR code and backup codes. Compatible with Google Authenticator, Authy and Microsoft Authenticator. Optionally enforceable for all users.
Security Advisor
Automatic security audit: firewall, fail2ban, 2FA, SSL, PHP versions, SSH configuration, password policies. Green/yellow/red scoring with actionable recommendations.
Audit Log
Complete audit trail: logins, password changes, 2FA events, impersonation access, firewall changes, API key management. Filter by time period, user and action.
Customer Isolation (OS Level)
Separate Linux user, PHP pool, temp directory, path restrictions and function blocking per customer. Protected web roots, FTP chroot and SMTP egress firewall.
fail2ban & Brute Force Protection
Automatic IP blocking after failed attempts for SSH, mail, FTP, panel login and webmail. Recidive jail for repeat offenders. Configurable thresholds per service.
PHP 7.0 – 8.5 — with ionCube Loader
All PHP versions from 7.0 to 8.5 installable directly from the panel. ionCube Loader is automatically installed with every version. Each website can use its own PHP version.
PHP 7.0 – 8.5
