What your HestiaCP customers will get

The BrandForge platform is live today. The HestiaCP plugin is on the roadmap. Once it ships, your HestiaCP customers get an AI website builder, logo maker, brand builder and social media tool, under your brand and billed through HestiaCP.

HestiaCP website builder

A complete, on-brand website generated from the customer's brand strategy and logo. Inline editing, ready to publish on the customer's own domain. A white-label site builder that carries your brand, not ours.

HestiaCP logo maker

Vector logo concepts in the customer's brand style, previewed on signage, packaging and screens before they commit. Ready to export or drop straight onto their new site.

HestiaCP brand builder

Positioning, audience and personality, generated as an editable brand strategy. Every choice comes with the reasoning behind it, so the result is something a business can actually use.

Business name and domain finder

Name ideas checked against domain availability, so a new business can go from idea to registered domain in one flow.

HestiaCP social media tool

A social media co-pilot that turns the brand into on-brand posts, so customers keep using the product long after their site is live.

Explore the social co-pilot

HestiaCP is built by and for its community, so the BrandForge plugin is planned the same way: open source and built with the community. It gives HestiaCP customers a sitebuilder, logo maker and brand builder, one click away and under your brand. The plugin is designed to push every published website's static files to the customer's hosting account on your server, so the whole brand builder runs on-prem.

On-prem publishing

Websites publish to your own HestiaCP servers

This will not be a hosted sitebuilder that sends your customers somewhere else. The HestiaCP plugin is built to push each website's static files automatically to the customer's hosting account in HestiaCP. The site runs on your infrastructure, so you can offer a complete brand builder on-prem.

Your servers, your hosting revenue. The website lives in the customer's HestiaCP account, not on a third-party platform.
Pushed automatically. Every publish sends the static assets straight to the hosting environment. No FTP, no manual uploads.
Fast, simple static sites. Static files are light to serve and easy to back up with the tools you already run.
One place for everything. Domain, email, hosting and website sit together, on your platform.

HestiaCP integration FAQ

When will the HestiaCP plugin be live?

It is planned. Register interest and we prioritise the build based on partner demand.

Will the plugin be open source?

That is the plan. We intend to publish the HestiaCP plugin as open source and build it with the community.

Is the customer experience white-labelled?

Yes. Customers see your domain, logo, colours and SSL end to end. Emails, notifications and PDFs run under your brand. The BrandForge name never appears.

How does billing work with a control panel?

You decide. Bundle BrandForge into your HestiaCP hosting plans, or sell it through your billing platform, such as WHMCS, and let HestiaCP handle access. BrandForge invoices you monthly at wholesale.

Who handles customer support?

You handle L1 with your customers, which keeps the relationship yours. BrandForge handles L2 and L3 platform issues through your named partner manager.

Is there a website builder for HestiaCP?

BrandForge is building one. The HestiaCP plugin is on the roadmap. Once it ships, your customers can generate and publish a complete website from HestiaCP, plus a logo, brand strategy and social media content, all under your brand. The integration is already live for AdminBolt, Blesta, Enhance, Upmind, WHMCS and WiseCP.

Will HestiaCP customers be able to create a logo and brand identity?

Yes. The same BrandForge platform that is live today includes a logo maker and a brand builder covering positioning, audience and personality. The HestiaCP plugin will give your customers access to all of it under your brand.

Will it include a social media tool?

Yes. The social media co-pilot is part of the BrandForge platform, so HestiaCP customers get on-brand social content alongside their website, logo and brand strategy.

Where will the websites be hosted?

On your servers. The HestiaCP plugin is built to push each website's static files automatically to the customer's hosting account in HestiaCP, so the site runs on your infrastructure and you can offer a complete on-prem brand builder and website builder.
