4.0.0

Major Milestone Release: Enterprise Control Panel Parity, Native Multi-Stack Web Servers, Complete Ecosystem Independence, and Advanced Resource Isolation.

HiTechCloud Panel 4.0.0 marks a monumental milestone in the platform's evolution, delivering a robust, enterprise-grade web hosting control panel engineered for maximum performance, security, and independent hosting operations.

1. Complete Ecosystem Independence & Zero GitHub Exposure​

• Public Website & Documentation Scrub: Eliminated all external GitHub URLs across the entire public website, documentation, navigation headers, footers, APIs, and client areas.
• Dedicated Ecosystem Integration: All community, support, discussions, and ticketing workflows are routed through dedicated infrastructure:
  • Community Portal: https://community.hitechcloud.org
  • Client & Enterprise Support: https://my.hitechcloud.org
  • Official Distribution & Mirror: https://mirrors.hitechcloud.org
• Vietnamese Language First: Default Vietnamese localization on the public website with modern UI/UX and professional technical documentation.
• Unrestricted Guest Access: All public, documentation, pricing, and showcase pages are 100% accessible to guest visitors without mandatory authentication gates.

2. Enterprise UI/UX & Design System Standardization​

• cPanel, Plesk Obsidian, and DirectAdmin Alignment:
  • Re-architected User Panel (port 2083) and Admin Panel (port 2087) with high-density enterprise layouts.
  • Seamless Dark Mode and Light Mode support with WCAG 2.1 AA compliant color contrast.
  • Quick Search / Command Palette and Favorites pinning for rapid access to critical tools.
• Interactive UI Elements:
  • Alpine.js reactive components with instant visual feedback and smooth loading states.
  • Multi-IP & IPv6 Shared IP detection with inline SVG copy-to-clipboard interactions.
  • Removed all third-party branding (such as DB-IP attribution) from server information and login audit screens.

3. High-Precision Resource Limiting & Realtime Telemetry​

• Instantaneous Process CPU Delta Tracking:
  • Replaced cumulative ps CPU averaging with true instantaneous CPU delta measurement on port 2083 for both limited and unlimited accounts.
  • Direct kernel cgroups v2 telemetry prevents process spikes from being obscured.
• Reseller Resource Metrics Isolation:
  • Reseller dashboards and layout metric bars now strictly aggregate resource statistics across sub-accounts owned by that reseller, eliminating cross-tenant leakage.

4. 18-Parameter Custom Plan Overrides & Reseller Delegation​

• Full 18-Parameter Granular Overrides:
  • Account edit interface and CLI fully support individual overrides across all 18 hosting parameters: Disk Space, Bandwidth, Inodes, Domains, Subdomains, Domain Aliases, Email Accounts, Email Forwarders, Autoresponders, MySQL Databases, MySQL Database Users, PostgreSQL Databases, PostgreSQL Database Users, FTP Accounts, Cron Jobs, Backup Retention, CPU Core limits, and RAM limits.
• Reseller Permission Groups:
  • Comprehensive delegation matrix allowing server administrators to grant or restrict specific feature groups to reseller tiers, enforced with hard quota limits.

5. Native Web Servers & Dual-Engine Architecture​

• Tri-Server Native Flexibility:
  • Per-website choice of native Nginx, Apache HTTP Server, or OpenLiteSpeed without container overhead.
  • Native multi-PHP support ranging from legacy PHP 5.6 to modern PHP 8.6 with FPM socket management.
• Rust and Go Parity:
  • Axum/Tokio Rust micro-engine sidecar verified for blistering throughput.
  • Complete parity across hitechcloudcli, Go handlers, and Rust engine routes with zero mock data.

6. Enterprise Security & Hardening​

• Multi-Layer Defensive Perimeter:
  • ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) and LFD brute-force protection.
  • Coraza WAF & ModSecurity with OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS).
  • ImunifyAV & ClamAV automated malware detection and quarantine.
  • Strict systemd cgroup slice boundaries preventing fork-bombs and runaway background threads.
