PanelHost 1.0.1 Current November 1, 2026

New design

  • Redesigned app and web panel: Geist font, light and dark mode, and on phones a menu with every section.
  • Each site shows its own icon (favicon) in the list.
  • Rotating the phone keeps the app where you were.

More kinds of site

  • Node.js and Python sites, with npm, pip and deploy from git.
  • OpenLiteSpeed with LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress, and page cache on nginx.
  • Apache, OpenLiteSpeed and mail become add-ons: the app is lighter and you only install what you use.

Your site on the internet

  • Tunnel with your own Cloudflare domain; PanelHost detects each site's domain by itself.
  • Startup puts your sites first: after a server restart, your site is back on the internet in 1.5 seconds on average.
  • Always online: the server starts with the phone and recovers by itself if Android closes the app.

Backups, traffic and limits

  • Incremental backups with the database, daily backup and restore, on the phone, the SD card or both.
  • Per-site traffic with a 30-day chart, and CPU, RAM and network meters.
  • Speed limit for the whole server and monthly transfer limit per site.

Mail and tools

  • Own mail server with mailboxes for your domains and webmail; receive mail from the internet with Cloudflare Email Routing.
  • Direct sign-in to WordPress and phpMyAdmin without typing passwords; wp-admin only from the local network.
  • php.ini editor and a log of each service to find problems.

Fixes

  • Sites keep their files in the phone's home folder, visible over USB.
  • Pages always show up to date in the browser, and links without a trailing slash no longer go to the wrong port.
  • The server no longer restarts twice in a row when the app is updated or opened while starting.

PanelHost 1.0.0 October 2026

  • First public release: nginx or Apache, PHP 8.5, MariaDB, phpMyAdmin, SFTP, one-tap WordPress, cron jobs, temporary public link and web admin from your computer.
