AlternC
AlternC is a free and open-source web hosting control panel for Linux systems, primarily Debian. It provides a graphical user interface for managing various aspects of web hosting, allowing administrators and users to manage domains, email accounts, databases, FTP access, and other services through a web browser.
AlternC aims to be a community-driven alternative to proprietary control panels. Its development is focused on security, stability, and ease of use. It offers a range of features typically found in commercial web hosting panels, including:
- Domain Management: Allows users to add, modify, and remove domains hosted on the server.
- Email Management: Provides tools for creating and managing email accounts, including aliases, forwarders, and auto-responders.
- Database Management: Supports the creation and management of MySQL databases.
- FTP Management: Enables users to create and manage FTP accounts for file transfer.
- Webmail: Integrates a webmail client for accessing email accounts through a web browser.
- Statistics: Provides basic web traffic statistics for hosted domains.
- Backup/Restore: Includes functionality for backing up and restoring website data.
The control panel is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), making it free to use, distribute, and modify.
