AreaWP is a server control panel for developers, agencies, and hosting providers. Manage WordPress sites, Docker apps, databases, billing, and clients — all from one dashboard. Available as a self-hosted installation on your own server, or as a fully managed hosted solution where the AreaWP team handles the infrastructure for you.
