About the Project
OSPanel is an excellent alternative to software such as Xampp, Laravel Herd, Wampserver, EasyPHP, etc. The convenience and ease of use will definitely not leave you indifferent!
Just try Open Server Panel and you'll get a truly powerful software environment where you can comfortably develop web projects without thinking about unnecessary details. Just imagine, you won't need to spend time installing all the necessary programs even if you reinstall Windows — simply launch the application and it's already working!
The idea to create a new and more advanced WAMP platform was born after many years of unsuccessful waiting for an update to the popular in the early 2000s WAMP package Denwer. The Open Server Panel project was launched on August 1, 2010, on the domain open-server.ru.
The first experimental versions were written in collaboration with a talented programmer from Ukraine. Now the project is being developed in Delphi. The program is distributed as Freeware, i.e., freely and at no cost, the license agreement does not impose any restrictions and does not imply any guarantees. In 2016, the project moved to the domain ospanel.io.
The development team expresses sincere gratitude to everyone who helps in the development of the project by promoting it through writing articles and reviews, posting notes and news on their websites and blogs. We are always enthusiastically ready to discuss your ideas and suggestions, as well as carefully consider any comments on our forum and in the Telegram channel.
