I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable, self-hosted hosting control panel that supports the OpenLiteSpeed stack. I’ve been exploring CyberPanel, OpenPanel and aaPanel, but I’d like to know if there are better alternatives worth considering. My requirements: OpenLiteSpeed support. Easy management of multiple WordPress websites. PHP version and database management. SSL certificate automation. Website, database and file management. Reliable updates and active development. Good security practices. No dependency on third-party managed hosting services. I’m particularly interested in solutions suitable for production environments rather than panels designed only for experimentation. Which control panel would you recommend and why? What has been your long-term experience with it? submitted by /u/Sad_Pie227 [link] [comments]

My ISP (Jio, in India) puts me behind CGNAT, so I have no public IP and port forwarding is just… not a thing. I wanted to self-host a few web apps from an old Dell laptop running Ubuntu Server, and I kept seeing people say “you can’t self-host behind CGNAT” — which isn’t true. The trick is to stop thinking about inbound connections. CGNAT only blocks inbound. A Cloudflare Tunnel dials outbound from the laptop to Cloudflare and holds that connection open; public traffic flows back down that pipe. No port forwarding, no public IP, nothing exposed on the router. If the box can browse the web, it can serve apps. I paired it with Dokploy (a self-hosted Heroku/Vercel-style PaaS with a built-in Traefik proxy) so I get a clean UI for deploying apps and mapping domains. Traffic path ends up being: browser → Cloudflare edge (TLS) → Cloudflare Tunnel (outbound) → cloudflared → Traefik → container One tunnel serves any number of apps and even multiple domains — Traefik routes by Host header, so adding an app is one ingress line + one DNS record + the domain field in Dokploy. I wrote the whole thing up as a step-by-step guide (prep, swap for low-RAM boxes, cloudflared install/auth, config, DNS, running as a service, SSL mode, and a troubleshooting table for the usual 1033 / 502 / redirect-loop gotchas). It’s also packaged as an agent “skill” if you use AI coding agents, but it’s just as usable as a plain README. Repo: https://github.com/yash-thakur/selfhost-without-public-ip Running it on an 8GB laptop; it comfortably handles a few small apps. Happy to answer questions, and open to feedback on the setup — curious how others here handle CGNAT (Tailscale Funnel, WireGuard to a VPS, etc.). submitted by /u/YThakur [link] [comments]

I was planning to use vercel for hosting my admin portal on a subdomain. Is vercel hobby plan fine for this? I will be handling razorpay transaction data and mostly backend stuff via admin portal. Because the Vercel plan strictly says that if you’re using the hosting for any commercial purposes/project, you would not be allowed to continue on the hobby plan. Please suggest! submitted by /u/That-Film-3139 [link] [comments]

I’ve been using the same web hosting provider for years. My legacy plan includes 100 free email accounts per domain. I’m considering renewing for another 4 years, but support won’t confirm whether these benefits will remain throughout the renewal period. Has anyone experienced something similar? Can a provider remove legacy benefits during a prepaid hosting term? Would you renew or switch providers? submitted by /u/Fire_airlord [link] [comments]
