Stack
Nginx (SSL, static files, in front) → Apache 2.4 (so .htaccess works; or Nginx only per website) → PHP-FPM pool per account · MariaDB · Postfix + Dovecot (Sieve) + OpenDKIM + SpamAssassin · BIND · Pure-FTPd · Let's Encrypt · phpMyAdmin · HostFog Webmail · Node.js · SQLite (panel data).
The panel runs as its own unprivileged user. Everything that needs root goes through one helper, hf-agent, which checks every argument it's given.
