No panel on your server
No control panel exposed to the internet, and nothing eating your server’s memory and CPU. Captanel connects straight from your computer over SSH.
Take the helm of your servers.
Captanel manages your Linux servers from one window on your computer: backups you can actually restore, a live terminal, files, 24/7 alerts, firewall, SSL, databases, e-mail and game servers. No control panel to install, nothing to rent.

Why Captanel?
Six things that set Captanel apart.
Unlimited servers, no per-server fee
One license for all your servers and game servers. You pay per person and device, not per server.
From your pocket, even when your computer is off
If a server goes down you get a phone alert within 1–2 minutes; with Captanel Mobile you see the problem and restart the service or the server.
12 game servers in one click
Minecraft, CS2, FiveM, Palworld, Rust, Valheim and more. Who is online, announcements to players, scheduled restarts and a Discord bot.
We never see your passwords
Server passwords and keys stay only on your computer, in Windows’ encrypted store. Connections never pass through our servers.
Backups you can actually restore
Sites, databases and files come down to your computer; if something breaks, you restore in one click.
Stop paying rent per website.
The era of panels whose bill grows with every account, that install heavy software on your server and lock you into their rules, is over. Captanel runs on your computer. It forces nothing onto your server and never counts your servers or domains.
For gamers
Run your own server and play with your friends. Minecraft, FiveM and CS2 in one click. No command line, no middleman’s cut.
- Minecraft, CS2, FiveM and 9 more games in one click
- Live backups without stopping the game
- Start and restart from your phone
For webmasters
Unlimited servers and domains. WordPress and your own sites are not counted; only sites built with the Captanel site engine count toward your plan. Backups, SSL, e-mail and databases in one window.
- Push to GitHub, the server updates itself in minutes
- WordPress, SSL, backups and e-mail in one window
- A backup before every update, rollback if it fails
$ git commit -am "New homepage" $ git push origin main # your code reaches the server by itself captanel-autodeploy: new version 4f2c9e1 New homepage — updating captanel-autodeploy: npm ci && npm run build captanel-autodeploy: updated ✓
For agencies
Your bill shouldn’t grow with your client list. With a team plan your server list is shared end-to-end encrypted, and the passwords stay with you.
- Team plan for 5 people, server list shared end-to-end encrypted
- Every client site in one list
- The app with your own logo and name
Everything a server owner does every week, in one place
Each button runs a tested command on your server and shows you exactly what happened.
Ready-made sites
Pick one of 400+ ready-made designs and your site goes live on your own server in English, Turkish, German or Spanish. The site owner edits texts, photos and pages in the browser, with an AI writing assistant built in.
Online store
Your own store with no commission on sales: products, categories, promotions, coupons, gift cards, customer accounts, returns and shipment tracking. Payments via Stripe and PayPal (iyzico and PayTR in Turkey); card details never touch your site. WooCommerce, OpenCart and PrestaShop in one click too.
WordPress
One-click setup; move a site from another server, speed it up with caching, try changes on a staging copy before publishing, reset a forgotten password. A backup is taken before updates, and the site rolls back by itself if it does not open.
Phone control
Monitor and manage your servers from your phone: start games, restart services, clear RAM and renew SSL. Connect with a QR code; it works even with your computer off, and your passwords never reach the phone.
Free SSL certificates
Let’s Encrypt certificates for nginx or Apache in one click, renewed automatically, with expiry alerts.
E-mail and domains
Install your own mail server (Mailcow), create and manage mailboxes, check DNS records and manage Cloudflare DNS and domain expiry dates.

The 24/7 monitor on your server checks disk, memory, sites, SSL and services every five minutes and messages your phone when something goes wrong, even when your computer is off.

- Any Linux server: Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky, from any provider
- See the price before you choose: location, size and monthly cost at a glance; every paid step asks you first

- Urgent fixes in one tap: games, services, RAM, SSL, reboot
- Your passwords stay with you: never sent to the phone, messages end-to-end encrypted
Security on by default
Free SSL, firewall and a 24/7 watchdog in one window. When something goes wrong, your phone hears about it even if your computer is off.
- Free SSL: installed in one click, renews by itself, warns before expiry
- Firewall: see open ports, manage attack bans, two-step login for SSH
- Your passwords stay with you: in an encrypted vault on your computer; no panel on the server
Your data stays yours
Captanel is not a hosted panel. Your server passwords and keys are stored only on your computer, encrypted by the operating system. We never see your servers, your files or your customers.

Frequently asked questions
Do you see my server passwords?
No. Captanel is a desktop app. Your passwords and keys are stored only on your computer, encrypted by Windows, and connections go directly from your computer to your servers.
Which servers does it work with?
Any Linux server you can reach over SSH: VPS, VDS or dedicated, from any provider (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Contabo, OVH, AWS and others). Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky, CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE, Alpine and Arch are supported.
Do I need to install a panel on my server?
No. Captanel does not install a web panel. It only adds small helpers when you ask for them, like the 24/7 monitor.
Is there a limit on servers?
No. Every plan includes unlimited servers and game servers. Plans differ in users, devices and how many sites you can set up with the Captanel site engine (3, 25, 100 or unlimited). Your own WordPress and other sites are never counted.
What happens when the trial ends?
Connecting to servers is paused until you enter a license. Your saved servers, settings and backups on your computer stay where they are.
Ready to take the helm?
Try every feature free for 14 days. If Captanel is not for you, simply uninstall it.
