Providers & admins
Spin up domains, mailboxes and databases in seconds. Server health, audit logs and licensing in one place.

What is HostConsole
HostConsole is a modern, self-hosted control panel for Windows Server. It turns a bare VPS into a full hosting platform: provision websites and app pools, serve DNS, issue SSL automatically, run a complete mail server with webmail, manage databases, and resell capacity to customers — all from one clean, fast interface.
The difference
HostConsole drives the real Windows stack — IIS, the DNS Server role, Let’s Encrypt (ACME), hMailServer, SQL Server and MySQL — so what you click is what the server does. Packages and licensing are enforced at runtime, not just stored.
Spin up domains, mailboxes and databases in seconds. Server health, audit logs and licensing in one place.
Sell hosting under your own brand with packages that enforce real limits — domains, mailboxes, disk and features.
A friendly self-service panel for websites, email, DNS and files — in their own language.
One panel, every job
Every capability a Windows hosting provider needs, from the first website to the thousandth mailbox — each one creating real infrastructure on your server.
Create IIS sites with the right runtime — .NET 4.x, .NET 8, PHP or static — with the apex and www bound automatically.
Per-domain zones on the Windows DNS role with a full record editor and sane defaults (A, MX, SPF, www, mail).
One-click Let’s Encrypt — HTTP-01 or DNS-01 wildcard — with auto-renew, HSTS and HTTP→HTTPS.
A full mail server (hMailServer): mailboxes, forwarders, auto-replies, aliases, quotas and webmail.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC published and verified automatically — plus DANE (DNSSEC + TLSA) for mail.
Create and manage SQL Server and MySQL databases and users per domain, with connection details.
Browse, edit and upload site files in the browser; per-site FTP accounts for traditional access.
Pick a PHP version per site, Plesk-style, and tune php.ini settings from the panel.
Scheduled and on-demand backups of site files and databases, restorable from the panel.
Pull-deploy from a Git repo with a webhook and post-deploy command — modern CI-style releases.
Hosting plans that enforce limits and features at runtime; a full reseller and customer hierarchy.
Bulk-migrate whole Plesk servers, or import a single site’s files, database and mailboxes.
Also included
Websites & SSL
Issue a free Let’s Encrypt certificate the moment a domain goes live. Choose HTTP-01 for the site, or DNS-01 for a full wildcard that also secures www, webmail and your mail subdomain — then turn on DANE for cryptographically-pinned mail. Auto-renew keeps it all green.
Professional email
Every domain gets a real mail server powered by hMailServer — mailboxes, forwarders, aliases, auto-replies and quotas — plus browser webmail. HostConsole publishes and verifies SPF, DKIM and DMARC automatically, so messages land in the inbox, not the spam folder.
Create accounts with quotas and sign in to webmail on any domain.
Route or alias addresses, with optional keep-a-copy and auto-replies.
Copy mailboxes and messages from any source IMAP server, folder by folder.
Switch without the pain
The Bulk Migration tool inventories an entire Plesk-on-Windows server over its API, then migrates the sites you select: it zips each docroot server-side over WinRM, backs up and restores each MSSQL database, provisions the domain here, and repoints connection strings — all tracked with live progress.
Multi-tenancy & billing
HostConsole is multi-tenant to the core. Define packages once; every limit and feature is enforced live as customers use the panel. Appoint resellers who manage their own customers under your roof, invoice them, and support them — all in the same system.
Plans, subscriptions and invoices.
Ticketing for customers and staff.
Admin, reseller and customer.
Usage and health at a glance.
Trust & control
Automatic SSL, verified mail authentication, IP restrictions, role-based access and a full audit trail — with ECDSA-signed, machine-bound licence keys that unlock features by edition.

Yes. It covers the same day-to-day hosting work on Windows Server — websites, DNS, SSL, mail, databases, PHP versions, FTP, backups and resellers — and includes a Bulk Migration tool that moves whole Plesk-on-Windows servers across, including files, MSSQL databases and mail.
Yes. One click issues a Let’s Encrypt certificate using HTTP-01, or DNS-01 for a wildcard that also covers www, webmail and mail. Certificates auto-renew, and HSTS and HTTP→HTTPS redirects can be switched on per site.
Sites can run .NET Framework 4.x, .NET 8, PHP (several versions, chosen per site) or static content. Databases can be created in SQL Server or MySQL, with users and connection details per domain.
