Thank you to the 247 community members who took the time to fill out our 2025 survey. Your responses will directly shape the direction of web-cp as we work toward the 1.0 release.

The survey asked what features are most important for 1.0. Here are the top results:

1. Let’s Encrypt automation (89%) — Already shipped in 0.8.0!
2. Plugin/extension system (76%) — In development for 0.9
3. Multi-server management (64%) — Planned for 1.0

We also asked about deployment environments:

• Debian/Ubuntu: 62%
• RHEL/CentOS/Alma: 28%
• FreeBSD: 7%

What People Like Most

The overwhelmingly positive feedback was about simplicity and low resource usage. Many respondents specifically mentioned that web-cp’s lightweight nature is what sets it apart from cPanel and Plesk.

“I can run web-cp on a VPS with 512MB of RAM. Try doing that with any commercial panel.” — Survey respondent

Next Steps

We’ll be publishing a detailed roadmap for the 1.0 release in early 2026. Stay tuned to the blog for updates.
