Unicorn Panel is a comprehensive self-hosted web hosting control panel designed for managing multiple servers efficiently. Its primary interface oversees a variety of workload hosts, allowing you to provision and monitor all aspects of your websites, databases, mailboxes, and DNS zones from a single dashboard without the need for separate logins for each server.
Each website operates within its own container, complete with distinct user permissions, port configurations, and resource limits. You can choose from different web engines such as Sleipnir, NGINX, Apache, or OpenLiteSpeed, along with PHP versions ranging from 5.6 to 8.5. The database options include popular choices like MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Mimir. Additionally, the Hermes mail suite features essential services like IMAP/SMTP, DKIM/SPF/DMARC, spam filtering, and Roundcube webmail, while Heimdall offers authoritative DNS management across multiple hosts.
Server roles and the control panel can be upgraded fleet-wide with a single click, ensuring streamlined management. The system also incorporates comprehensive malware scanning, a robust firewall, per-resource backups with the option for selective restoration, and white-label branding for resellers. Built on Alpine Linux and utilizing Podman for both amd64 and arm64 architectures, the platform is equipped with a REST API and CLI, while maintaining a commitment to user privacy by avoiding any usage telemetry. Furthermore, this architecture enhances scalability and flexibility, making it an ideal solution for both small and large hosting operations.
