Proxmox VMs
in the same panel.
Platform
What you get
for virtualization.
VmNodes, templates, and queued Proxmox tasks under one UI.
Proxmox frontend
FeatherPanel sits on your existing Proxmox nodes and adds a client-facing control panel without replacing the hypervisor.
Client self-service
End users get a scoped dashboard to start, stop, reboot, and reinstall their VMs without raw Proxmox access.
Automated provisioning
New VPS orders provision automatically. Templates, OS images, and resource limits are applied from the panel.
Credential isolation
XChaCha20 encryption, CSRF protection, 2FA, and audit logging. Proxmox credentials stay off client-facing surfaces.
Snapshots and backups
VM snapshots and scheduled backup policies in the panel. Clients can manage restore points themselves.
Same panel as game and web
Proxmox VMs, game servers, and web hosting share one login and one UI.
Comparison
Licensing and
product scope.
How FeatherPanel differs from Convoy and Virtualizor on license, scope, billing, and extensibility. We only publish performance numbers we measure ourselves.

| Product scopeWhat the panel manages | Proxmox VMs, game servers, and web hosting | VPS only | VPS only |
| BillingHow orders reach the panel | Cloud billing and API | WHMCS module | Built-in billing + WHMCS/Blesta |
| ExtensibilityAdding features without forking | Plugin SDK and marketplace | No plugin ecosystem | No plugin ecosystem |
No per-node license fee
Convoy needs a paid license for commercial use and Virtualizor is proprietary and paid. FeatherPanel is AGPL-3.0 with no per-node fees.
Game and web in the same panel
Convoy and Virtualizor manage VPS only. FeatherPanel also manages game servers and web hosting from one UI.
Live Proxmox API
FeatherPanel reads state from the Proxmox API, so changes on the node show up in the panel.

No. FeatherPanel is a management layer on top of Proxmox. Your nodes keep running KVM and LXC. FeatherPanel adds a client portal, automated provisioning, self-service VM management, and billing hooks.
You add Proxmox API credentials once. FeatherPanel then creates VMs, manages LXC containers, takes snapshots, and monitors resources through the Proxmox API.
Convoy is a Proxmox panel under a Business Source License, which requires a paid license for commercial use. FeatherPanel is AGPL-3.0 and free. FeatherPanel also manages game servers and web hosting in the same panel; Convoy does not.
Virtualizor is a paid, proprietary multi-hypervisor panel with deep WHMCS integration. FeatherPanel is free and open-source, and also covers game servers and websites in the same UI.
Yes. End users get a scoped portal to start, stop, reboot, and reinstall assigned VMs, view usage, open a console, and manage backups without raw Proxmox access.
Yes. FeatherPanel supports automated provisioning for VPS orders. Cloud customers can use built-in billing. Self-hosted users can integrate WHMCS or other systems via the REST API.
