For Hosting Providers

Scale Your Hosting Business Without Scaling Costs

FlatRun lets you offer modern Docker-based hosting to your customers without paying per-account license fees to panel vendors.

The Hosting Panel Problem

📈

Costs Scale With Customers

Every new customer means higher cPanel or Plesk bills. Your margins shrink as you grow.

🏚️

Legacy Architecture

Traditional panels use shared hosting models from the 2000s. Customers expect modern containers.

🔐

Vendor Dependencies

Your business depends on companies that can raise prices or change terms at any time.

⚙️

Limited Customization

Proprietary panels limit how you can differentiate your hosting offering.

The FlatRun Advantage

💰

Zero License Costs

Host 10 accounts or 10,000—your FlatRun cost stays at zero. Keep your margins healthy at any scale.

🐳

Modern Docker Architecture

Each customer gets isolated containers. Better security, better performance, better resource management.

🛠️

Fully Customizable

Open source means you can modify everything. White-label the UI, add custom features, integrate with your systems.

🔓

No Lock-in

Standard docker-compose configurations. If you ever need to migrate, your customer sites are portable.

📊

Resource Isolation

Container-based limits mean one customer can't impact others. Better stability, fewer support tickets.

🔌

API-First Design

Full REST API for provisioning automation. Integrate with your billing system and customer portal.
