KekaiHost – Subdomain Hosting Management System

KekaiHost is a PHP-based subdomain hosting management system designed for operators who want to offer free or paid hosting accounts through subdomains on their own server.

Users can register, receive a subdomain, manage files, and access hosting-related tools through a web dashboard. Administrators can manage users, hosting plans, storage limits, domain pricing, payment methods, and platform settings from a central control panel.

Hosting Management

The system supports subdomain-based hosting with individual storage folders for users. Its file manager includes common file operations, while hosting plans allow administrators to configure storage and domain limits.

Payments and Monetization

KekaiHost includes payment integrations for Razorpay, PayPal, and Stripe, along with manual payment approval and a wallet system. Administrators can configure hosting plans, currency settings, and affiliate program options.

User Experience and Administration

The platform provides responsive dashboards, Google OAuth support, password reset functionality, user management, analytics, notifications, and a live chat system. A multi-currency interface supports displaying prices in different currencies.

Important Hosting Model

KekaiHost runs customer subdomains on your own shared server. It is not a VPS provisioning system or a traditional reseller hosting platform that supplies separate servers. You are responsible for server capacity, isolation, security, backups, DNS configuration, and ongoing operations.

The package includes installation documentation and a setup wizard. Before using it for a commercial hosting service, test the complete workflow—including subdomain creation, file permissions, database tools, payments, and account isolation—on a staging server. The supplied product page includes negative reviews reporting bugs and incomplete functionality, so thorough testing is particularly important.

Operational Considerations

• All hosted users share your server resources.

• Review file isolation and permissions before allowing customer uploads.

• Configure backups, monitoring, and recovery procedures.

• Test database tools, payment flows, and account creation end to end.

• Confirm that the system safely handles untrusted user-uploaded files.

The product is not a replacement for separate VPS infrastructure. Commercial use requires careful server configuration and ongoing maintenance.
