If you're already running HiTechCloud on Docker, you stay on Docker - there is no forced migration. This is purely a change for fresh installs going forward, and it's the single biggest performance change we've shipped since launch.</p>\n<p>The short version: Podman gets rid of the Docker daemon overhead, and that overhead was being paid <strong>per user, on every server, all the time.</strong></p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"why-were-doing-this\">Why we're doing this<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/podman-switch-hitechcloud-2/#why-were-doing-this\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Why we're doing this\" title=\"Direct link to Why we're doing this\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>Docker's architecture assumes one daemon (<code>dockerd</code>) per host, running as root, managing every container for every user through a single long-lived process. HiTechCloud runs Docker rootless per user to keep tenants isolated, which means every single user account on a server gets its own <code>dockerd</code> instance, its own containerd shim, and its own copy of every image it needs.</p>\n<p>That's a lot of duplicated weight for a hosting panel where a server might have 10, 100, or 200+ user accounts, each running a handful of lightweight services.</p>\n<p>Podman doesn't have a daemon at all. Containers are launched as regular child processes (fork/exec) directly by the podman command, supervised by systemd. No background service sitting there per user, no daemon socket, no container manager process idling in RAM waiting for work.</p>\n<p>We tested this directly on idle, freshly created accounts with zero

On a memory-constrained VPS host, that's the difference between needing to upgrade the box and not.</p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"the-bigger-number-image-storage\">The bigger number: image storage<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/podman-switch-hitechcloud-2/#the-bigger-number-image-storage\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to The bigger number: image storage\" title=\"Direct link to The bigger number: image storage\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>The idle-account overhead above is just the runtime itself. The bigger cost shows up once users actually start services, and it comes down to how each engine stores images.</p>\n<p><strong>Docker rootless duplicates images per user.</strong> Every user has their own isolated Docker root, so if user A and user B both run PHP 8.2, the PHP 8.2 image is downloaded and stored twice - once per user. There's no sharing between rootless Docker instances by design. If a user spins up every service HiTechCloud offers - all 30+ available images (multiple PHP versions, webservers, databases, mail, DNS, monitoring, etc.) - that user alone can account for <strong>~11 GB of duplicated images</strong>, entirely on their own.</p>\n<p><strong>Podman uses shared image storage.</strong> Images are pulled once into a shared, read-only store and every user's containers reference the same layers instead of re-downloading and re-storing their own copy. The full image catalog for the whole system - every version of every service HiTechCloud supports - comes to about <strong>10 GB total</strong>, shared across every user on the box, regardless of how many accounts exist.</p>\n<p>For a typical active user - not a power user running all 30+ services, just a normal site with 2 PHP versions, a webserver, cron, MySQL, and Redis - that duplication costs about <strong>2 GB per user</strong> on Docker that Podman simply doesn't need, because those images are already sitting in the shared store.</p>\n<h3 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"typical-active-user-2-php-versions--webserver--cron--mysql--redis\">Typical active user (2 PHP versions + webserver + cron + MySQL + Redis)<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/podman-switch-hitechcloud-2/#typical-active-user-2-php-versions--webserver--cron--mysql--redis\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Typical active user (2 PHP versions + webserver + cron + MySQL + Redis)\" title=\"Direct link to Typical active user (2 PHP versions + webserver + cron + MySQL + Redis)\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h3>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><table><thead><tr><th>Users</th><th>Docker (duplicated images)</th><th>Podman (shared store)</th><th>Saved</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>10</td><td>20 GB</td><td>~10 GB (shared, flat)</td><td><strong>~10 GB</strong></td></tr><tr><td>100</td><td>200 GB</td><td>~10 GB (shared, flat)</td><td><strong>~190 GB</strong></td></tr><tr><td>200</td><td>400 GB</td><td>~10 GB (shared, flat)</td><td><strong>~390 GB</strong></td></tr></tbody></table></div>\n<h3 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"power-user-scenario-all-30-services-running\">Power user scenario (all 30+ services running)<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/podman-switch-hitechcloud-2/#power-user-scenario-all-30-services-running\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Power user scenario (all 30+ services running)\" title=\"Direct link to Power user scenario (all 30+ services running)\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h3>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><table><thead><tr><th>Users</th><th>Docker (duplicated images)</th><th>Podman (shared store)</th><th>Saved</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>10</td><td>110 GB</td><td>~10 GB (shared, flat)</td><td><strong>~100 GB</strong></td></tr><tr><td>100</td><td>1.1 TB</td><td>~10 GB (shared, flat)</td><td><strong>~1.09 TB</strong></td></tr><tr><td>200</td><td>2.2 TB</td><td>~10 GB (shared, flat)</td><td><strong>~2.19 TB</strong></td></tr></tbody></table></div>\n<p>The Podman number barely moves as user count grows, because the images are shared, not duplicated.

Podman has no daemon - each container is a direct child process of the user that started it, supervised by systemd.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>True rootless isolation.</strong> Podman was built rootless-first. User namespaces, container processes, and storage are isolated per user without needing a privileged background service to broker access.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>systemd-native.</strong> Podman generates systemd unit files (<code>podman generate systemd</code> / Quadlet) so containers restart, log, and get managed the same way as every other service on the box, instead of through a separate container supervisor.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Drop-in CLI compatibility.</strong> <code>podman</code> accepts the same commands and Compose-style workflows as <code>docker</code>, so the switch doesn't mean relearning tooling.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>OCI-compliant images.</strong> Podman uses standard OCI images and registries - nothing proprietary, nothing that locks images to one engine.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>No single point of failure.</strong> Because there's no central daemon, one user's container problems can't take down container management for every other user on the server the way a wedged <code>dockerd</code> can.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>For a panel where hundreds of independent user accounts share one host, \"no shared root daemon\" isn't a nice-to-have, it's the whole point.</p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"still-in-beta\">Still in beta<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/podman-switch-hitechcloud-2/#still-in-beta\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Still in beta\" title=\"Direct link to Still in beta\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>To be upfront: Podman support in HiTechCloud is still in <strong>beta</strong>. It's what new installations will default to once HiTechCloud 2.0 ships at the end of the year, but we're actively hardening it against edge cases before then.</p>\n<p>Existing HiTechCloud installations keep running on Docker - nothing changes for you, and there's no forced migration path being pushed on current servers. If you want to try Podman ahead of the 2.0 release to kick the tires, or you hit something that doesn't behave the way Docker did, we want to hear about it.

The WebPros licensing model: per-account, annually increasing, no ceiling -has pushed a lot of small-to-medium hosting operators to start looking around.</p>\n<p>The problem is that most \"cPanel alternative\" roundups are thin affiliate content that lists five panels, praises all of them equally, and doesn't actually help anyone make a decision.</p>\n<p>This post is different. It's written by the HiTechCloud team, so you know where we stand, but we've tried to be direct about where cPanel still wins, where migration is genuinely painful, and who should probably stay put. If HiTechCloud isn't the right fit for your operation, we'd rather you know that upfront.</p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"first-lets-talk-about-what-happened-to-cpanel\">First, Let's Talk About What Happened to cPanel<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/honest-cpanel-alternative-hitechcloud/#first-lets-talk-about-what-happened-to-cpanel\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to First, Let's Talk About What Happened to cPanel\" title=\"Direct link to First, Let's Talk About What Happened to cPanel\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>If you've been in hosting for more than a few years, you remember when cPanel was a flat-fee product. One price, unlimited accounts. Around $45/month and you were done.</p>\n<p>Then <a href=\"https://www.oakleycapital.com/news-and-insights/oakley-capital-to-invest-in-cpanel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Oakley Capital acquired cPanel in 2018</a>. In 2019, they scrapped the unlimited model completely and switched to per-account pricing. Hosts with thousands of accounts saw their bills jump 500% overnight. The community was furious. Nothing changed.</p>\n<p>Since then, the price has gone up every single year without exception:</p>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><table><thead><tr><th>Year</th><th>Premier (100 accounts)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>2019</td><td>$45/month</td></tr><tr><td>2023</td><td>~$55/month</td></tr><tr><td>2025</td><td>$47–49/month (NOC)</td></tr><tr><td>2026</td><td>$69/month (retail)</td></tr></tbody></table></div>\n<p>And here's the part that should concern you: in 2020, <a href=\"https://www.oakleycapital.com/news-and-insights/acquisition-of-plesk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Oakley Capital also bought Plesk</a> - cPanel's main competitor. Both are now owned by the same company, WebPros. There is no competitive pressure anymore. Prices will keep going up because there's no reason for them not to. 🤷🏻‍♂️</p>\n<p>If you're a small operator running 10–50 client sites, you're paying for a product that was designed for enterprise hosting companies, built by a team that doesn't care much whether you stay or go.</p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"what-to-actually-look-for-in-a-cpanel-alternative\">What to Actually Look for in a cPanel Alternative<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/honest-cpanel-alternative-hitechcloud/#what-to-actually-look-for-in-a-cpanel-alternative\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to What to Actually Look for in a cPanel Alternative\" title=\"Direct link to What to Actually Look for in a cPanel Alternative\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>Most operators migrating away from cPanel have the same checklist, even if they haven't written it down:</p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Multi-user support.</strong> Not just one site — multiple clients, each with their own login, file manager, and databases, with no visibility into each other's accounts.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Real isolation.</strong> On traditional shared servers, one compromised site can pivot to the entire box. This is an area where cPanel has always relied on third-party add-ons (CloudLinux, primarily) to patch a fundamental architectural gap.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>WordPress management.</strong> The majority of hosted sites run WordPress. <a rel=\"noopener dofollow\" href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/docs/panel/applications/wordpress/\">Auto-installs, caching integration, debugging tools, and backup management</a> all need to work without custom scripting.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Billing integration.</strong> Automated provisioning via WHMCS or equivalent is non-negotiable for operations running more than a handful of accounts.</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Predictable, proportional pricing.</strong> The whole point of running your own hosting is margin. A licensing model that grows with your success destroys that.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Most alternatives fail at one or two of these. Below is how HiTechCloud addresses each one — and where the gaps still exist.</p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"what-hitechcloud-actually-is\">What HiTechCloud Actually Is<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/honest-cpanel-alternative-hitechcloud/#what-hitechcloud-actually-is\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to What HiTechCloud Actually Is\" title=\"Direct link to What HiTechCloud Actually Is\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>HiTechCloud is a hosting control panel built around Docker containers. That's the core idea that makes it different from everything else.</p>\n<p>In a traditional setup — cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin — all your users share the same server environment. The same PHP installation, the same MySQL, often the same web server configuration. Isolation is bolt-on, not built-in.</p>\n<p>HiTechCloud gives each user their own Docker container. Their own MySQL instance. Their own PHP version. Their own web server — you can run Nginx for one client and Apache for another on the same machine. None of them can see each other's files or processes, because they're genuinely separated at the container level, not just at the filesystem permission level.</p>\n<p>This matters more than most people realize. It means:</p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\">One client can't accidentally take down another's site by hammering resources</li>\n<li class=\"\">A compromised WordPress install on Client A's account can't pivot to Client B's files</li>\n<li class=\"\">You can give clients actual root-level access to their container without worrying about what they'll break</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The admin interface (HiTechAdmin) is where you manage everything from the server side: create users, set plan limits, monitor resource usage, manage the firewall, configure branding. The user-facing panel (HiTechCloud) is what your clients log into — it's clean, modern, mobile-responsive, and has dark mode if that matters to your clients.</p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"the-feature-by-feature-comparison\">The Feature-by-Feature Comparison<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/honest-cpanel-alternative-hitechcloud/#the-feature-by-feature-comparison\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to The Feature-by-Feature Comparison\" title=\"Direct link to The Feature-by-Feature Comparison\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>Here's a direct look at what operators gain and what they trade when switching from cPanel to HiTechCloud.</p>\n<h3 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"what-hitechcloud-does-better\">What HiTechCloud does better<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/honest-cpanel-alternative-hitechcloud/#what-hitechcloud-does-better\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to What HiTechCloud does better\" title=\"Direct link to What HiTechCloud does better\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h3>\n<p><strong>Security architecture.</strong> The Docker-per-user model is genuinely better than what cPanel offers. cPanel's security is largely CloudLinux-dependent — you often need to pay for CloudLinux on top of cPanel to get real isolation. HiTechCloud includes this by design, for free.</p>\n<p><strong>Web server flexibility.</strong> With cPanel you're largely stuck with Apache (or Nginx in front of Apache via EA-Nginx). HiTechCloud lets you assign Nginx, Apache, OpenResty, or OpenLiteSpeed per user. Not per server — per user. If a client needs OpenLiteSpeed for caching reasons, fine. Everyone else can stay on Nginx.</p>\n<p><strong>MySQL per user.</strong> Each user gets their own MySQL/MariaDB/Percona instance with configurable limits. In cPanel, all databases live in the same MySQL server, which means one runaway query can affect every other user on the box.</p>\n<p><strong>Resource limiting.</strong> You can set hard limits on CPU, memory, disk, port speed, and inodes — per plan, not just per user. So your \"Basic\" plan literally cannot exceed the resources you've allocated, regardless of what's running inside the container.</p>\n<p><strong>Price.</strong> HiTechCloud Community Edition is free for up to 3 users and 50 websites. The Enterprise Edition — which adds email, FTP, Docker management, and removes all limits — is €14.95/month. Flat. No per-account fees. No annual hikes (so far). For a 30-account operation, you're looking at roughly $16/month vs. $53/month for a comparable cPanel license.</p>\n<h3 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"where-cpanel-still-wins\">Where cPanel still wins<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/honest-cpanel-alternative-hitechcloud/#where-cpanel-still-wins\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Where cPanel still wins\" title=\"Direct link to Where cPanel still wins\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h3>\n<p><strong>Ecosystem and familiarity.</strong> cPanel has been around since 1996. Your clients might already know it. Your junior staff might already know it. That's real. Switching panels means a learning curve for everyone involved, including you.</p>\n<p><strong>Third-party integrations.</strong> cPanel integrates with more billing platforms, more registrars, more DNS providers. HiTechCloud has WHMCS, Blesta, FOSSBilling, and an API — which covers most cases — but if you're deeply embedded in a more obscure stack, check first.</p>\n<p><strong>Email hosting.</strong> This is worth flagging honestly: HiTechCloud's email features are in the Enterprise Edition and are newer than the rest of the product. If email hosting is a core part of your business, test it thoroughly before committing.</p>\n<p><strong>Established documentation.</strong> Seven years of Stack Overflow answers, YouTube tutorials, and forum threads exist for cPanel. HiTechCloud's docs are good and actively maintained, but the community knowledge base is obviously smaller.</p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"real-numbers-running-10-client-sites\">Real Numbers: Running 10 Client Sites<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/honest-cpanel-alternative-hitechcloud/#real-numbers-running-10-client-sites\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Real Numbers: Running 10 Client Sites\" title=\"Direct link to Real Numbers: Running 10 Client Sites\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>Here's what a small hosting operation actually costs with each panel, using real 2026 pricing.</p>\n<p><strong>cPanel Pro (up to 30 accounts)</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\">License: $53/month</li>\n<li class=\"\">Hetzner CX31 VPS (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM): ~$15/month</li>\n<li class=\"\">Total: ~$68/month</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>HiTechCloud Enterprise</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\">License: €14.95/month (~$16)</li>\n<li class=\"\">Same Hetzner CX31 VPS: ~$15/month</li>\n<li class=\"\">Total: ~$31/month</li>\n</ul>\n<p>That's $37/month back in your pocket. Per year, that's $444 — nearly half a cPanel license just handed back to you. If you're charging clients $10–15/month for hosting, that difference pays for 3–4 extra client slots before you even break even on cPanel.</p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"how-migration-actually-works\">How Migration Actually Works<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/honest-cpanel-alternative-hitechcloud/#how-migration-actually-works\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to How Migration Actually Works\" title=\"Direct link to How Migration Actually Works\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>Migration from cPanel to any other panel has a reputation for being painful, and that reputation is partly earned. But HiTechCloud has a meaningful advantage here that most alternatives don't: <strong>native cPanel backup import</strong>.</p>\n<p>If you've generated a full cPanel backup (the <code>.tar.gz</code> files produced by cPanel's backup wizard), HiTechCloud can import them directly. That means your files, databases, email accounts, and DNS records come across without manual extraction or restructuring. For most sites, this alone cuts migration time from hours to minutes per account.</p>\n<p>The overall process looks like this:</p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"\"><a rel=\"noopener dofollow\" href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/install/\"><strong>Install HiTechCloud</strong> on a new VPS</a></li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Generate full cPanel backups</strong> for each account you're moving (<a href=\"https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/files/backup-for-cpanel/#generate-a-full-backup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">cPanel → Backup Wizard → Full Backup</a>)</li>\n<li class=\"\"><a rel=\"noopener dofollow\" href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/docs/admin/plans/hosting_plans/#create-a-plan\"><strong>Create matching hosting plans</strong></a> with equivalent resource limits</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Import the backups</strong> directly into HiTechCloud <a rel=\"noopener dofollow\" href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/docs/articles/transfers/import-cpanel-backup-to-hitechcloud/\">via the admin interface</a> or CLI</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Update nameservers or DNS A records</strong> once you've verified each site loads correctly</li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Cancel the old server</strong> after a 24–48 hour overlap period to catch anything missed</li>\n</ol>\n<p>For a 5–10 account operation, this is realistically a few hours of work, not a weekend. For larger migrations, batching by 10–20 accounts per session keeps it manageable.</p>\n<p>A few things worth knowing before you start: DNS propagation takes time regardless of which panel you're on, so plan the cutover during low-traffic windows. And if any accounts have custom cPanel-specific configurations (EasyApache-compiled modules, custom WHM hooks), those will need manual review as the backup import handles data, not bespoke server config.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://dev.hitechcloud.org/cli/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">HiTechCloudCLI</a> can also automate plan and account creation at scale, which is useful if you're migrating dozens of accounts and want to script the provisioning step rather than clicking through the UI for each one.</p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"who-should-actually-switch\">Who Should Actually Switch<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/honest-cpanel-alternative-hitechcloud/#who-should-actually-switch\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to Who Should Actually Switch\" title=\"Direct link to Who Should Actually Switch\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>HiTechCloud is a strong fit for:</p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\">Freelancers and small agencies managing 5–50 client sites who want real per-user isolation without paying for CloudLinux on top of cPanel</li>\n<li class=\"\">Operators starting a hosting reseller business who want to avoid the per-account licensing trap from day one</li>\n<li class=\"\">Homelab and dev environments that need multi-user isolation without enterprise pricing</li>\n<li class=\"\">Anyone already on the fence about cPanel whose 2026 renewal invoice made the decision for them</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It's probably not the right move for:</p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\">Operations where clients are contractually entitled to cPanel access specifically</li>\n<li class=\"\">Large managed WordPress platforms that have years of tooling built against the cPanel/WHM API</li>\n<li class=\"\">Teams where cPanel muscle memory is deeply embedded and there's no bandwidth for retraining right now</li>\n</ul>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq\" id=\"the-bottom-line\">The Bottom Line<a href=\"https://hitechcloud.org/blog/honest-cpanel-alternative-hitechcloud/#the-bottom-line\" class=\"hash-link\" aria-label=\"Direct link to The Bottom Line\" title=\"Direct link to The Bottom Line\" translate=\"no\">​</a></h2>\n<p>cPanel is a capable product with an increasingly difficult business model. Since the WebPros acquisition, it has been on a consistent upward pricing trajectory — and with Plesk under the same ownership, there's no competitive pressure to change that. Small operators are effectively subsidizing infrastructure and licensing costs designed for companies 100x their size.</p>\n<p>HiTechCloud was built specifically to address this gap. The Docker-per-user architecture provides genuine isolation that cPanel requires third-party add-ons to approximate. The feature set: multi-user management, web-server-per-user, MySQL-per-user, WHMCS integration, cPanel backup import.. covers everything a small-to-medium hosting operation needs. And at €14.95/month flat, the pricing doesn't punish growth.</p>\n<p>Also, the Community Edition is free to install:</p>\n<div class=\"refine-common-code-block language-bash rounded-lg bg-refine-react-light-code dark:bg-refine-react-dark-code border border-gray-300 dark:border-0 mb-6 relative refine-wider-container\"><div class=\"relative pt-3 pb-0 not-prose\"><pre tabindex=\"0\" class=\"prism-code language-bash bg-transparent !mt-0 !mb-0 m-0 px-0 pt-0 font-jetBrains-mono pb-3\"><code class=\"font-[inherit] bg-transparent inline-block min-w-full\"><div class=\"token-line px-4 text-xs sm:text-sm 2xl:text-sm\" style=\"color:#9CDCFE\"><span class=\"token plain\">bash &lt;(curl -sSL https://hitechcloud.org)</span><br></div></code></pre></div><div class=\"absolute top-3 right-3 flex items-center gap-2\"><button type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Copy code to clipboard\" title=\"Copy code to clipboard\" class=\"w-6 h-6 flex justify-center items-center bg-gray-200 dark:bg-gray-800 hover:bg-gray-300 dark:hover:bg-refine-react-dark-code rounded group transition-[background-color] duration-200 ease-in-out\"><svg xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\" fill=\"none\" class=\"w-3 h-3 text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400 transition-all duration-200 ease-in-out\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.1 0c1.05 0 1.9.85 1.9 1.9v5.2A1.9 1.9 0 0 1 10.1 9H10V8h.1a.9.9 0 0 0 .9-.9V1.9a.9.9 0 0 0-.9-.9H4.9a.9.9 0 0 0-.9.9V2H3v-.1C3 .85 3.85 0 4.9 0h5.2Zm-3 3C8.15 3 9 3.85 9 4.9v5.2A1.9 1.9 0 0 1 7.1 12H1.9A1.9 1.9 0 0 1 0 10.1V4.9C0 3.85.85 3 1.9 3h5.2ZM8 4.9a.9.9 0 0 0-.9-.9H1.9a.9.9 0 0 0-.9.9v5.2a.9.9 0 0 0 .9.9h5.2a.9.9 0 0 0 .9-.9V4.9Z\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"></path></svg></button></div></div>\n<p>If you want to test the full feature set including: cPanel backup import and WHMCS provisioning - the Enterprise Edition is available with no per-account fees and no long-term commitment required.</p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Questions about migrating from cPanel?
