I didn't want to build just another hosting panel.
After years spent around servers, hosting and control panels, I wanted something simpler to use. More importantly, something built differently under the hood.
For months we mostly built what you normally don't see. Now we're building what you finally can see.
Nodavik isn't meant to be cPanel with different colours. The interface matters, but the real value is what happens underneath when you press a button.
It starts
Nodavik starts from scratch. Foundations come first: real sites, separate PHP-FPM, TLS, backup, restore and rollback. The goal isn't a pretty dashboard. It's a panel you can trust when something goes wrong.
From lab to hosting panel
Account and site management, databases, application deployment and migration arrive. In parallel, we work on the privileged boundary: the panel must manage the server without getting a blank cheque over everything.
Enough prototypes. Let's test it for real.
Clean Debian 13 VPS installs, tests on different machines and a real path from first boot to the panel. File Manager, databases, DNS, TLS, mail and backups enter the same golden path.
Where we are today
Nodavik installs on a real VPS and the panel is reachable in a browser. We're closing the remaining first-run/login issues and connecting every component in the first complete hosting smoke test.
The next goal is easy to explain.
Take a clean Debian 13 VPS, install Nodavik and do everything from the panel. When that path works from start to finish, we have our first real Nodavik.
The next steps
Internal Hosting Smoke
Close the complete path on a clean VPS, without manual workarounds.
Founder Alpha
A coherent build we can actually use and put under pressure.
First testers
Take Nodavik outside our lab and collect real-world problems.
I've worked with hosting and servers for many years. Nodavik also comes from all those times I asked myself: “do I really have to go through here, here and here just to do this?”. I want to keep what works in hosting panels and rethink what we can do better today: isolation, security, recovery, migrations and, later on, AI assistance.
It's still in development. Some things already work, others we're building right now. I'd rather show the real state of the project than sell a promise.
