What's new in PanelHost
What is new in each PanelHost release. The current release is 1.0.1, the one serving this very site from a phone.
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.
