What we handle so your team can focus on the work
dotProject is installed, cached and secured before you create your first project, and it stays that way.
Install dotProject in one click
dotProject is in the Softaculous installer in cPanel on every plan. Pick it, enter your admin details and it's installed in about a minute, with the database and configuration created for you.
There's no archive to download, no FTP client and no database to set up by hand. Updates, backups and staging copies are handled from the same installer.
- One click from cPanel
- Database and config created for you
- Latest stable version
- Updates and backups from Softaculous
Fast Gantt charts and task lists
Task lists, Gantt views and reports load from NVMe storage with OPcache, so the interface stays responsive as project history builds up.
Every plan runs on AMD EPYC servers with NVMe SSD storage and LiteSpeed's server-level cache, so your workspace stays quick with nothing to install or tune. Need more headroom? Switch on PHP OPcache with one click in cPanel.
- Server-level caching, no plugin needed
- Free CDN with global edge locations
- Unmetered traffic on every plan
- NVMe SSD storage
Project data secured and backed up daily
You get free SSL, firewall rules, login protection and hourly malware scanning, with daily off-server backups of files and database.
Your workspace is also backed up off-server every day and kept for 30 days. If an update goes wrong or an edit breaks something, restore a single file or the whole account from cPanel in a few clicks.
- Firewall rules tuned for dotProject
- Malware found and cleaned automatically
- Off-server backups every day, 30-day history
- Restore points kept for 30 days
Your team relies on it, so we set it up right
Uptime, backups and mail delivery matter more for a project tool than for a brochure site.
File repository set up properly
The upload directory is writable and kept outside the web root, so attachments work straight away and stay private.
Email notifications that arrive
Mailboxes on your own domain come with spam filtering and correct records, so task assignments and reminders reach your team.
Private by default
Put the whole installation behind SSL and, if you like, an extra directory password, so only your team can reach it.
Free daily backups
We back up off-server every day and keep 30 days of copies. Restore one file or the whole account from cPanel in a couple of clicks.
Free SSL and a real firewall
HTTPS is issued automatically, with web application firewall rules, brute-force protection and hourly malware scanning in front of it.
Support that knows dotProject
Tickets and email 24/7, answered by engineers who work on this stack every day. You get a person, not a script or a bot.
Greener hosting for your project space
We're a fully remote team, we fund reforestation every month, and our data centres run on renewable power with efficient hardware. Your project space wastes fewer watts here.
Your dotProject install, moved for free
Projects, tasks, users, permissions and every attached file come across intact. You can test the whole system before your team switches over.
Same project space, nothing rebuilt or flattened 
Check it on a temporary URL before DNS changes 
Zero downtime and no migration fee
Migration checklist
-
Projects, tasks and users Copied from your old host and checked against the original, so every record is there. -
MySQL database Exported from your old host, imported here and checked against the original so nothing is missing. -
File repository Every file copied across with its folders and permissions kept, so nothing has to be uploaded again. -
Permissions and modules Users, roles and access rules checked so everyone can do exactly what they could before. -
Switch DNS to go live Your site is ready and tested on a temporary address. We switch it over whenever you say, with no downtime.

What is dotProject?
What the software does, how it works and who it suits, in plain English.
About the software
dotProject is free, GPL-licensed project management software written in PHP. Projects, tasks, Gantt charts, files and tickets live in one place, with no per-seat licence and no data held by a third party.
How dotProject works
Companies contain projects, and projects contain tasks with dependencies. The Gantt view is built from those dependencies. Permissions decide who sees which company or project, and email notifications keep people up to date as tasks change.
Who uses it
Small agencies, in-house teams and contractors who want self-hosted project tracking instead of a per-user SaaS subscription.
What it costs to host
dotProject is free. Hosting starts at $1.79/mo on a 12-month term with SSL, daily backups, free migration and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
