'''Domain Technologie Control''' (DTC) was a [[web hosting control panel]] aimed at providing a graphics-oriented layout for managing commercial hosting of [[web servers]], intended for [[Shared web hosting service|shared web hosting]] servers, [[virtual private server]]s (VPSes), and [[Dedicated hosting service|dedicated servers]]. Domain Technologie Control is [[free software]] released under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License|GNU LGPL v2.1 license]]. It is fully [[skin (computing)|skinnable]] and translated into several languages.

Domain Technologie Control allows the administrator to create [[Web hosting service|web hosting plans]] that provide [[email]] and [[File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] accounts, domain purchasing, subdomains, [[Secure Shell|SSH]], and [[MySQL]] databases to the end users under controllable [[Disk quota|quota]] for the web sites that these users own. DTC also maintains the automation of [[bill (payment)|billing]], generates backup scripts, and monitors traffic (per user and per service) using a single system, [[User identifier (Unix)|UID]] or [[Group identifier (Unix)|GID]]. Also integrated into DTC are the support ticket system and customizable [[List of HTTP status codes|HTTP error pages]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ticket system: a tool for communication between clients and tech support |url=https://www.sim-networks.com/en/blog/online-support-ticket-system |access-date=2023-09-20 |website=www.sim-networks.com |language=en}}</ref>

DTC itself manages its own MySQL database to store its setup configuration, web hosting plans, and users. It has support for many other free software: [[MySQL]], [[Apache HTTP Server|Apache]], [[PHP]], [[qmail]], [[Postfix (software)|Postfix]], [[Courier Mail Server|Courier]], [[Dovecot (software)|Dovecot]], ProFTPd, [[Webalizer]], [[mod-log-sql]], and more. It also connects to dtc-xen to manage and monitor the usage of [[Virtual private server|Virtual Private Servers]] (VPS).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ticketing System Integration |url=https://www.manageengine.com/products/passwordmanagerpro/help/ticketing-system-integration.html |access-date=2023-09-20 |website=www.manageengine.com}}</ref>

DTC is fully open source (LGPL). DTC is also the first web hosting control panel that has reached inclusion in major distributions like Debian (since Lenny in 2009), Ubuntu (since 2008) and FreeBSD.
