CWP, or CentOS Web Panel, is a free web hosting control panel designed specifically for CentOS/RHEL-based Linux distributions. It provides a graphical web interface that allows users—especially web hosting providers, developers, and server administrators—to easily manage their Linux servers and websites without needing to use the command line for every task.

While it is particularly designed for CentOS, CWP also supports Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux as modern alternatives, given that CentOS 8 has reached its end-of-life.
