A cPanel alternative priced per server.

KLYRN is a hosting control panel for Ubuntu 24.04. It runs nginx, keeps root off the network, and reads cPanel's own backup archives.

PHP versions, and the sites still on each.

One price for the server.

cPanel sells four tiers by account, from $29.99 a month for one account to $69.99 for up to a hundred. 1 KLYRN Pro is $9 a month per server, or $90 a year, with no limit on sites or accounts. Free covers one server and five sites.

nginx is the web server.

cPanel runs Apache through EasyApache 4, with nginx available as a reverse proxy in front. 2 KLYRN runs nginx only and tests every configuration with nginx -t before loading it. It does not run .htaccess. On migration it translates the rules it understands into nginx for you to review, and lists the rest by file and line.

Your accounts come with you.

Upload a pkgacct archive or give KLYRN an SSH login. You read the plan before anything is written, and preview each site on the new server before DNS moves. Mailboxes, forwarders and FTP logins are copied too. The old server keeps serving until you change a record.

How migration works

KLYRN runs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, x86_64 only.
Sites with unreviewed .htaccess rules need a review before they move.
