Hello everyone,

I have been using CWP Pro for several years, and overall it has served me well. However, over the past year I have become increasingly concerned about the future of the project, and I would really like to hear the opinions of other users.

As a system administrator, I need a control panel that is actively maintained, secure, and able to keep pace with modern hosting requirements. Unfortunately, I have the feeling that CWP is falling further behind compared to other control panels.

Some of my main concerns are:

New PHP versions seem to take a long time before becoming available.
Some updates appear to fix issues but also introduce new bugs or regressions.
The backup and restore system has caused me several problems. In my opinion, backups are one of the most critical features of any hosting panel, and reliability is absolutely essential.
Development seems slower than it used to be, and new features are released less frequently.
Communication regarding the project's roadmap and future plans is quite limited.
Technical support has also become a concern for me. Although I pay for a support plan, I have experienced response times of 5 to 10 days for some tickets. For production servers, such delays can be difficult to accept when an issue requires prompt attention.

This leads me to a simple question:

What is the long-term vision for CWP?

Many competing panels such as Webuzo, DirectAdmin, and Plesk seem to be evolving much faster, with quicker PHP support, frequent updates, and more modern backup solutions.

I am not trying to criticize CWP or start an argument. I genuinely want to understand whether other administrators share the same concerns or if my experience is unusual.

I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts:

Are you still confident in CWP's future?
Do you trust it for production environments?
Have you experienced issues with backups or restore operations?
How has your experience with technical support been?
Are you satisfied with the current development pace?
Are you planning to stay with CWP, or are you considering moving to another control panel?

Personally, I am at an important decision point. I am preparing to deploy a new production server and must decide whether to continue investing in the CWP ecosystem or migrate to another platform.

I sincerely hope CWP continues to grow and improve because it has many strengths. However, I believe the project needs to demonstrate a stronger development roadmap, faster adoption of new technologies, more reliable backup and restore features, and more responsive technical support if it wants to remain competitive in today's hosting market.

I look forward to reading your experiences and opinions.

Thank you.

Backup / problem with the local beta backup
« on: July 08, 2026, 01:37:42 PM »
I notice this problem with the local beta backup


I am encountering an issue with the local backup restore feature (beta version).

Hello,

We are experiencing a problem with the new local backup restore feature on our server.

The backup files are present on the server and appear to be complete and intact. However, the restore process does not start correctly.

Whenever we attempt to restore an account, the process consistently gets stuck at the "Detecting files" stage and makes no further progress.

The restore log repeatedly shows the following information:

2026-07-07 14:14:06 UPDATE restore SET ST='20260707201406' WHERE ST='1'
2026-07-07 14:14:06 >>>>>>>>> [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,grizzy,2026-06-27_17-15-04,0,,1,1,1,1,1]
2026-07-07 14:14:06 Detecting files

We have verified that the backup directory exists and that all backup archives are available.

Based on our investigation, it appears that the restore utility is generating an incorrect path and attempting to locate a non-existent backup archive, even though the backup data is available at the correct location.

Could you please check if this is a known issue with this new local backup restore feature?

If so, is there a fix, a workaround, or an updated restore procedure available to successfully restore the accounts?

Backup / Backuply compatible (Coming soon) with CWP. Jetbakcup development
« on: November 26, 2025, 12:51:11 PM »
Hello, I learned that Backuply (Softaculous) is actively working on making it compatible with CWP servers very soon.

This feature should be available in the next update, making Backuply the first software to offload CWP backups.

Backuply is already compatible with WordPress, but will be compatible for server backups in the next update.

Regarding JetBackup, I've been told that cooperation from José remains difficult, which is delaying its development process.

Suggestions / Collaboration with Jetbackup for a reliable backup system
« on: October 21, 2024, 09:31:57 AM »
It would be cool in the very near future to be able to integrate directly into the CWP control panel the possibility of having Jetbackup, this very advanced backup system and a lot of requests from the Jetbackup community to have it on CWP, could you get closer to their team to study a possible implementation? I put the relevant topic here https://request.jetapps.com/topic/add-support-for-cwp
