Hello, A long time ago I worked in customer support at a hosting provider. I'd get calls like: "Hi, I have this WordPress hosting package and I want to add another website." We always had to tell people they needed a whole new package for about €5/month, and if they wanted email too, that was another €3/month on top. Even back then I thought that was weird — why couldn't this just be part of what they already had. (Yeah, I know, it's a company, gotta make money) So about 2.5 years ago I started building my own control panel in my free time, with email built in from the start. I'm a Java developer during the day, and this project has been very on-and-off — some weeks 40 hours, some weeks I don't touch it at all. For now it's completely free. You can install WordPress on your VPS in 1 click. It spins up a separate Docker environment per install, sets up SSL automatically, and creates and links the database for you. Then the harder part: email. You can also create email accounts in 1 click — runs over port 587 (SSL), and it generates the DKIM, DMARC and SPF records for you so you can just copy them into your domain and keep emails out of spam. There's more I've built and I'm still improving it. The tool: https://the-wpmanager.com/ (the frontend is a bit AI-inspired... I'm a backend guy) Two videos if you want to see it in action: Installing the tool:
