Web-CP 0.8.0 — The Big Update

2025-10-15 · David Taran release feature

We’re excited to announce web-cp 0.8.0, the biggest release in years. This version brings several long-requested features and modernizes the platform for current hosting needs.

What’s New

Responsive Admin Interface

The admin interface has been completely redesigned to work on screens of all sizes. Whether you’re managing your server from a desktop or checking on things from your phone, the control panels now adapt to your screen.

The design stays true to web-cp’s philosophy — clean, fast, and functional. No JavaScript frameworks were added; it’s all server-rendered HTML with responsive CSS.

Let’s Encrypt SSL Automation

You can now issue and renew SSL certificates directly from the domain control panel. Web-CP handles the ACME challenge verification and certificate renewal automatically via cron.

Improved Backup System

The backup system now supports remote storage destinations including S3-compatible storage, SFTP servers, and local directories. Scheduled backups can be configured per-domain or server-wide.

IPv6 DNS Support

DNS zone management now fully supports AAAA records and other IPv6-related DNS entries.

REST API

A new REST API allows automation of common tasks. The API uses token-based authentication and covers domain, user, and email management endpoints.

Upgrading

Important: This release drops support for PHP versions below 8.1. Make sure your server meets the new requirements before upgrading.

See the upgrade guide for detailed instructions.
