What is iPanel

Built in-house.
Owned by imbra.

Most hosting companies pay for cPanel, Plesk, or other control panel licences — and pass that cost to you. imbra built iPanel from scratch. We own every line of it, improve it every month, and don't charge you for someone else's software.

The result: a control panel purpose-built for the way African businesses work — fast, focused, and constantly getting better. Every imbra plan includes full iPanel access at no extra cost.

iCado AI

Artificial intelligence built into your hosting panel.

iCado is the AI assistant embedded directly inside iPanel. It is not a chatbot bolted on top — it is wired into your account. It knows your websites, your domains, your email, your databases. You can ask it anything, and it can act.

Persistent AI chat

iCado remembers your conversations. Every session is saved — pick up where you left off, search your history, or start a new conversation. It builds context about your account over time.

Ask AI about your files

Import files into iPanel and tell iCado what to do with them. Deploy a zip archive, analyse a config file, ask what a script does, or let AI review changes before they go live on your server.

AI website builder

Describe the website you want and iCado builds it. Starting from scratch has never been faster — no templates to hunt through, no design skills required. Describe it, review it, launch it.

Ask about server state

Ask iCado why your site is slow, what cache settings mean, or whether SSL is configured correctly. It reads your actual server configuration and explains it in plain language.

Database & cache queries

Ask iCado to check your database, explain cache behaviour, or clear specific cache layers. It handles the most common hosting operations and learns your setup as it goes.

Security recommendations

iCado reviews your SSL setup, suggests security improvements, explains error pages and redirect rules, and walks you through hardening your website — all without leaving iPanel.

Core capabilities

Everything you need to run online.

01 Website Hosting

Launch and manage multiple websites from one place. PHP, Node.js, Python, WordPress, or static HTML — iPanel handles all of them. One-click deployments, framework-specific configuration, PHP version selection, Node environment variables, Python virtual environments, and full server configuration in seconds.

02 Domain Management

Register, transfer, and manage all your domains — including .bw and .zm — directly from iPanel. Full DNS record management, DNSSEC, custom nameservers, private nameserver creation, domain parking, auto-renewal, and expiry alerts all built in.

03 Email Hosting

Unlimited professional email accounts on every plan — no cap, no matter which plan you are on. Create accounts, configure spam filters, create auto-replies, set up forwarding, and get quick-setup guides for Outlook, iPhone, Android, and any mail client.

04 Files, Databases & Developer Access

A full web-based file manager with code editor, FTP and SFTP account management, MySQL and PostgreSQL database creation, database user management, cron job scheduling, Git deployment integration, and SSH access — everything a developer needs without leaving the browser.

05 Security & SSL

Free SSL via Let's Encrypt — installed and renewed automatically. HTTPS enforcement, HSTS headers, two-factor authentication for iPanel access, and active session management so you can see and revoke any device logged in to your account.

06 Backups & Recovery

Automatic daily backups and on-demand backups with one-click restore. Restore the entire website or just specific files from any backup point. A working version is always available, even if you make a mistake.

File manager

A code editor inside your hosting panel.

iPanel's file manager is not a basic upload tool. It is a full browser-based code editor — syntax highlighting, file tree, global search across all files, and a built-in terminal. Write, edit, and deploy code without leaving your browser.

Syntax-highlighted code editor

Edit PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and more with full syntax colouring and quick-open shortcuts.

Global file search

Search across every file in your website — find any line of code across the entire codebase in seconds.

Archive & extract

Create zip or tar archives and extract uploaded archives directly on the server — no file-by-file uploads.

Git source control panel

Commit, push, pull, and manage branches directly from the file manager — full Git workflow in the browser.

Integrated terminal

Run commands directly on your server without a separate SSH client — the terminal lives inside iPanel.

Import & migrate

Bring your existing website to imbra.

Already have a website somewhere else? Upload a zip archive of your entire site — files and database included — and iPanel deploys it. Or use the migration tool to pull from another host directly, no downloading to your computer required.

Once imported, hand the files to iCado AI. Ask it to review the codebase, check for issues, update configuration values, or explain what the code does before anything goes live.

Upload & deploy from archive

Upload a zip or tar of your entire website. iPanel extracts and deploys it automatically to your chosen domain.

Migrate from another host

Pull your site directly from an existing host — no manual file downloads, no FTP juggling on your computer.

WordPress migration wizard

Move any WordPress site to imbra. The wizard handles files, database export/import, and URL rewriting automatically.

Ask AI about imported files

After uploading, ask iCado what your files do, what needs changing, or what config values to update for your new environment.

Export any website at any time

Download a full archive of any website — files, databases, all of it — whenever you need it. Your data stays yours.

Website tools

Every tool your website needs. Already included.

iPanel goes beyond basic hosting. Every website you deploy comes with a full toolkit for performance, security, and growth — no add-ons, nothing extra to buy.

Free SSL — auto-renewed forever

Let's Encrypt certificates installed and renewed automatically. HTTPS active from day one, no manual renewal ever.

Git deployment

Connect your repository. Push code and your site deploys automatically — no FTP required.

Cron jobs

Schedule tasks to run automatically — backups, emails, data syncs, anything your application needs on a timer.

Redirects & custom error pages

301 and 302 redirects, wildcard rules, and custom 404, 403, and 500 pages — configured from the dashboard.

Cache management

Server-side, browser, and CDN cache control — all in one place to speed up every visitor's experience.

SEO toolkit

Sitemap generation, robots.txt, meta tag management, and SEO optimisation tools built directly into the panel.

Subdomains & domain parking

Create subdomains for any website and park additional domains — managed from a single clean view.

FTP & SFTP accounts

Create FTP and SFTP users with directory restrictions — give developers access to only the folder they need.

Performance optimisation

Image compression, GZIP and Brotli, HTTP/2, and script minification — performance settings without a server engineer.

WordPress management in iPanel
WordPress

WordPress,
fully managed.

iPanel makes WordPress effortless. Install in one click, manage themes and plugins directly from the panel, update WordPress automatically, and migrate existing sites from anywhere in minutes.

One-click installation

WordPress is set up in under a minute — database created, files deployed, admin account configured.

Theme & plugin management

Install, update, and remove themes and plugins from iPanel — no need to log in to WordPress admin.

Automatic updates

Keep WordPress, themes, and plugins current automatically or review updates manually before applying.

Database management

Browse, edit, and optimise your WordPress database directly from the iPanel interface.

Migrate from any host

The migration wizard handles files, database, and URL rewriting — move to imbra in minutes.

Teams

Built for teams, not just individuals.

iPanel supports multiple users on one account. Invite team members, set access levels, and let each person manage only what they need to — without giving anyone more access than necessary.

Agencies and development teams can manage every client from one organised account. Clients get read-only access. Developers get scoped to specific websites. Billing stays locked to the account owner.

Invite team members

Send invitations to colleagues. They accept and join your account instantly — no separate sign-up process.

Role-based access control

Control exactly what each team member can see and change. Granular permission settings per service and per website.

Account sharing with clients

Share full or partial account access with clients or development partners — they see only what you allow.

Customer sub-accounts

Manage multiple customer accounts from one login — ideal for agencies managing hosting on behalf of clients.

Billing

Invoices, payments, everything in one place.

iPanel handles billing natively. View invoices, manage payment methods, check your balance, and track every transaction — without leaving the panel. Local payment methods fully supported.

PDF invoices for every transaction

Every payment generates a downloadable invoice — ready for bookkeeping or tax records.

Multiple payment methods

Card, bank transfer, and mobile money — manage all payment methods from one place, including local options.

Auto-renewal for domains & hosting

Never lose a domain or service by accident — set auto-renewal and stop tracking expiry dates manually.

Expiry & billing alerts

Email notifications before anything expires — enough notice to act before anything goes offline.
