HELM Control Panel
HELM is a web-based Windows hosting automation control panel used by hosting providers to manage web hosting services, customer accounts, reseller management, billing, and server configuration through an intuitive graphical interface accessible via web browsers..
HELM (Hosting Enterprise Linux Manager) is a Windows-based hosting control panel designed primarily to automate hosting server management. By providing a web-based interface running on port 8086, it enables hosting providers and resellers to administer websites, configure DNS, email accounts, databases, as well as manage customer relationships all from a central point.
The control panel leverages standard web technologies, including ASP.NET, to deliver its user interface over HTTP connections, typically unencrypted unless manually configured with SSL proxies or tunnels. Its backend connects with various services to provision and manage hosting resources across multiple servers. HELM supports automation for a broad range of Windows hosting features, including IIS management, mail server integration, and database provisioning.
Port 8086 is commonly used for accessing the HELM control panel interface. Since it is not a default HTTP or HTTPS port, it may avoid some automated scans, but it also means administrators often retain the default port, which can be well known to attackers scanning for administrative panels.
