Add a domain

create domain:shop.example.com + kind=addon account=alice

Then, from alice's plan:

  2. web PHP 8.3 site, checked with nginx -t and php-fpm -t
  3. ssl Certificate for shop.example.com and www

Example: the plan for a new domain, and what the other modules do once you apply it.

Websites

Sites that protect themselves.

nginx and PHP-FPM per account, a web application firewall per site, rate limits and a bot challenge. Each account is a real Linux user with its own limits.

  • Firewall: off, detect or block
  • Changes validated, then swapped in at once
  • Back to the last good version if a check fails

Up and running in three steps.

  1. Install in one command

    On a fresh Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux or Rocky server. It shows its plan and asks once before it changes anything.

    sudo bash install.sh

  2. Bring your sites

    Import a cPanel or Plesk backup, or add a domain. A report shows what converts, then a dry run you can test.

  3. Click it, or ask for it

    Use the panel and the Ctrl K palette, or ask the assistant. You approve every plan before it runs.

Move from cPanel or Plesk in minutes.

The importers are real: a report of what converts, a dry run that fetches each site and probes each mailbox, the commit, and a rollback that removes everything. They have run end to end on archives we built, not yet on a customer's production backup.

TopicRespireCloudWhen you move
PricePer server, by number of accounts. Price coming soon. Importers, backups and the mobile app are free.cPanel lists one account from $29.99 a month (cpanel.net, read 12 October 2026). Compare it with your own bill.
SecurityThe web part cannot run commands. Changes are previewed. Passkeys. An audit log nobody can quietly edit.Each account becomes a real Linux user with its own limits. Isolation is not an extra licence.
Modern panelOne fast app on desktop and phone. Ctrl K for everything. Dark and light. An API for every action.Administrators, resellers, customers and sub-users map onto the same model.
AIAn assistant that writes a plan you approve. RespireSoft AI with every licence, or your own model.The assistant itself costs nothing extra on any licence.

Coming from cPanel Coming from Plesk What is not there yet

Or run it by asking.

The assistant is on every screen. It looks things up with your permissions, writes a plan with the exact changes, and waits. Nothing runs until you approve it.

  • Why is this site slow?Checks load, PHP limits and errors for one site.
  • Why did this bounce?Reads a bounce message and finds what to change.
  • Why did this certificate fail?Finds why a certificate order or renewal failed.

AI comes with your licence. With RespireSoft AI the panel turns AI on by itself: no provider account, no key to paste. Every licence includes a monthly allowance in credits. Or bring your own model.

Everything the assistant does

Why did this message bounce, and what do I change so it is delivered?

  • Looked up mail.domain.dns.check
  • Looked up dns.record.list

The receiving server refused the message because example.com has no SPF record that allows this server. I prepared one change. Nothing has been done yet.

Plan, 1 step low Waiting for you

Set the SPF record of example.com dns.record.set

- TXT  "v=spf1 mx ~all" + TXT  "v=spf1 mx a:mail.example.com ~all"
An illustration with sample data. The lookups and the action are the ones this job may use.

From one server to a fleet.

Cluster is in preview today. These four areas are being built, and are labelled until they ship.

  • Coming in 1.1

    Cloud servers

    Create servers at Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS and seven more. They join the cluster by themselves.

    Kubernetes

    Connect a cluster, run k3s or create a managed one. Deploy from YAML or Helm.

    Load balancers

    Your HAProxy and your cloud's balancers on one page, with health checks.

    See what is coming

Built so that a panel bug does not become a server breach.

Most control panels let their web interface run commands as root. RespireCloud splits the panel in two, and the half that faces the internet has nothing to run.

  1. Browser, CLI or API token

    Signs in with a passkey or a scoped token. Every method and path is denied unless an action allows it.

  2. respirecloudd unprivileged user

    Checks permission, plan limits and risk; validates parameters against the action's schema; writes the audit row.

  3. Bus TLS 1.3, per-server keys

    Each server can only receive its own operations. A compromised server cannot see another's.

  4. respirecloud-agent root, minimal

    Runs typed operations from module manifests only. Commands are argument lists, never shell strings.

Changes are previewed, validated and reversible

A website change goes through these six steps. Mail, SSH and the firewall are checked the same way, and a firewall change undoes itself unless you confirm it.

  1. Preview. Ask for a dry run and get the per-file diff before anything happens.

  2. Render. The change becomes a new, complete configuration generation beside the live one.

  3. Validate. nginx -t and php-fpm -t check the exact files that would go live.

  4. Swap. One atomic switch makes the new generation live.

  5. Health check. Every changed site is requested through the server's own nginx.

  6. Keep or roll back. Any failure flips back to the previous generation on its own. The last 30 stay available.

Every account is a real Linux user

Its own systemd slice with CPU, memory, IO and process limits, its own PHP-FPM pool, and disk quotas where the filesystem supports them. Not an extra licence.

Every action is on the record

Who did what, from where, as whom, in a hash chained log. A check names the first row that does not match. Secrets are redacted before anything is written.

Questions, answered.

Is RespireCloud available now?

It is in early access. The installer and the panel are built and tested in our lab and on a first real server. There is no public download yet: ask for early access and we send you the installer.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. Press Enter at the licence question of the installer for a free 14 day trial of the Pro edition, with RespireSoft AI included for the same 14 days. You can also request a live demo.

Can I move from cPanel or Plesk?

Yes. The importers read a backup, report what converts, build the account in a dry run, and commit only when you say so. A rollback removes everything they created. So far they have run end to end on archives we built, not on a customer's production backup.

How much does it cost?

Prices are not set yet. A licence is per server, by number of accounts, with add-ons for Cluster, Cloud, Kubernetes, a CDN network, AI credits, Security Pro and white label. Importers, backups and the mobile app are free.

Does the AI run things by itself?

No. It writes a plan with the exact changes and waits. Nothing runs until you approve it. Use RespireSoft AI from your licence or your own model.

Which systems does it run on?

Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04, Debian 12 and 13, AlmaLinux 9 and 10, and Rocky Linux 9 and 10.

See it on a real server.
