Start a web hosting business with OrbixPanel

OrbixPanel isn’t just a control panel — in Reseller mode it’s a complete platform for running a hosting business: sell plans, take payments, and give each customer their own isolated portal.

The pieces

  1. Install in Reseller mode. Choose the Reseller profile when you install (it enables multi-tenancy, the storefront, and billing). Personal mode doesn’t include these.
  2. Create packages — the plans you sell, each with its own resource limits and price. → Create hosting packages
  3. Set up a storefront — a public pricing page where visitors sign up. → Set up your storefront
  4. Connect payments — Stripe and/or PayPal. → Accept payments
  5. Onboard customers — each gets an isolated tenant portal. → Onboard a customer
  6. Bill and support them — invoices and a support desk.

Why self-hosted hosting is a good business

  • Near-zero marginal cost. One server hosts many customers; each additional tenant costs you almost nothing until you need more hardware.
  • You own the platform. No per-seat SaaS fees eating your margin.
  • Recurring revenue. Hosting is subscription-based by nature.

What a customer (tenant) gets

Their own portal to manage websites, databases, email, DNS, files, and more — isolated from every other customer on the server.

Start with creating your packages.
