Zero complex installation. Double-click the executable and start managing your local stack immediately.
Download cPanel-Localhost.exe (132 MB). Place it anywhere on your Windows PC (e.g. Desktop or root folder).
Run the executable. The built-in supervisor detects your local XAMPP Apache and MySQL services, tests connectivity, and initializes port 2083.
Your default browser instantly opens http://localhost:2083. Log in with your local credentials and begin managing databases, files, and domains.
Choose between the single standalone binary executable or automated PowerShell script installation.
Zero configuration, self-contained single binary with embedded Node runtime and supervisor.
Automate setup on fresh developer environments via a single command-line execution.
More than a GUI skin — an enterprise local orchestrator combining security, speed, and AI readiness.
Automatically inspects C:\xampp, locates Apache httpd.conf, binds MySQL socket on 3306, and syncs phpMyAdmin without manual tweaks.
Prevents directory traversal attacks (`../`). Every user file operation is strictly sandboxed inside htdocs with full ZIP compression & extraction.
Equipped with OpenAPI 3.0 specs and Bearer API tokens. LLM agents (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT Actions) can manage databases, files, and domains programmatically.
Provision custom domains like myshop.test or api.app.local with 1-click. Automatically writes Apache virtual host configs and loopback DNS.
Create databases, generate cryptographically secure passwords, and assign granular SQL privileges via high-concurrency connection pooling.
Schedule scheduled background tasks using standard 5-part cron syntax (* * * * *). View execution outputs, exit codes, and timestamps live.
Why developers, students, and agencies choose cPanel Localhost over plain XAMPP or expensive cloud licenses.

Everything you need to know about installation, dependencies, and configuration.
While cPanel Localhost can run standalone as an independent Node-powered control panel, pairing it with XAMPP (Apache, MariaDB, and PHP) gives you the complete hosting experience with real database creation and virtual host routing. The launcher automatically detects C:\xampp upon boot.
If port 2083 is occupied, the application gracefully provides HTTP fallback on port 2082 or prompts you in the terminal. If Apache port 80 is occupied by Skype or IIS, you can configure alternative ports in config.js or Apache's httpd.conf.
Navigate to Security > Manage API Tokens inside cPanel Localhost, create a token, and select desired permission scopes. You can then provide the OpenAPI 3.0 specification found at /api/ai/openapi.json to your AI assistant to allow autonomous server manipulation.
Because cPanel-Localhost.exe is a newly packaged open-source binary without an expensive Microsoft EV code-signing certificate ($400/yr). You can safely click "More info" > "Run anyway", or inspect the SHA-256 checksum and open-source codebase yourself.
Absolutely! Click the cPanel Guide button in the navigation bar or refer to DEPLOY_TO_CPANEL.md. We've included the complete production .htaccess and step-by-step instructions for creating a subdomain and hosting this exact landing page.
