Deploy VoxelSite
for everyone.
VoxelSwarm turns one VoxelSite installation into a multi-tenant platform. Each user gets their own instance. Their own hosting account. Their own AI website builder. No SaaS required.
VoxelSwarm is free. To get a VoxelSite ZIP to deploy, a VoxelSite license is required.
VoxelSwarm is in early access
VoxelSwarm requires extensive testing across different hosting environments and control panels. We are actively working on compatibility, but you will likely encounter issues on untested setups. Please report any issues, questions, or control panel incompatibilities — we address them one by one.
For testing, the regular VoxelSite license is all you need. Don't purchase the extended license yet — get Swarm running on your setup first, report issues, help us stabilize it. Early testers are granted extended license use.
Once VoxelSwarm is out of beta, the extended license is required per VPS/server for unlimited instance deployments.
The shift
Why not just build
a SaaS?
You could run VoxelSite as a centralized SaaS — one app, shared database, monthly subscriptions. That's the traditional playbook. But the traditional playbook comes with traditional problems.
Running it as a SaaS
What it takes to offer VoxelSite as a centralized platform
- Build and maintain a multi-tenant codebase — shared database, user isolation, access control
- Ongoing infrastructure costs — scaling servers, CDN, backups, monitoring, uptime guarantees
- You handle all user data — GDPR, compliance, security breaches become your problem
- Billing, subscriptions, churn — revenue depends on retaining paying users month to month
- One bug affects everyone — a single deployment serves all customers
- One shared AI API key — if one user breaches provider terms, your entire platform gets suspended
Deploying with VoxelSwarm
What it takes to offer VoxelSite with isolated instances
- No multi-tenant codebase — each client gets a full, isolated VoxelSite installation
- One VPS, one license — simple hosting, predictable costs, your terms
- Each client owns their files — standard PHP/CSS/JS they can download and host anywhere
- No billing system needed — charge per project, per month, or give it away. Your business model
- Isolated by design — one instance breaking never affects another
- Each user brings their own AI API key — no shared key, no single point of failure
The AI era doesn't need middlemen. When building a website takes a conversation instead of a committee, the infrastructure should match — lightweight, personal, owned. Swarm makes that possible.
How it works
Four steps to your
own platform.
VoxelSwarm is a standalone PHP application. Clone it, configure it, and you have a multi-tenant AI website builder running on your infrastructure.
Get VoxelSwarm
Download VoxelSwarm from GitHub and upload it to your VPS or shared hosting.
Drop in VoxelSite
Place your VoxelSite ZIP in the template directory. VoxelSwarm prepares it for deployment.
Configure
Set your domain, choose a control panel adapter, and create your operator account.
Instances go live
Users sign up, get their own hosting account, and start building. Starts on a subdomain, custom domains can be linked.
What you get
Two users.
One platform.
The Operator
You. The person who runs the Swarm. An agency owner with ten clients. A freelancer offering managed websites. Anyone who wants to offer VoxelSite as a service.
- Dashboard with all instances at a glance
- Provision, pause, resume, and delete instances
- Provision logs with step-by-step visibility
- Settings for adapters, email, and limits
The Tenant
Your client. Your student. Your colleague. They sign up, get their own hosting account with an instant subdomain, and start building their website with AI. Custom domains can be linked later. They just create.
- Name and email → instant workspace
- Full VoxelSite Studio — AI chat, visual editor, code editor
- Isolated files — nothing shared between tenants
- Downloadable output — standard PHP/CSS/JS files
Licensing
How licensing works.
VoxelSwarm itself is free and open source. VoxelSite is a commercial product. The license you need depends on how many instances you deploy.
Regular License
One VoxelSite deployment. Perfect for testing VoxelSwarm on your hosting setup before committing to the extended license.
Start here. Get Swarm running first.
Extended License
Unlimited VoxelSite deployments on one VPS/server. Required for production multi-site use once VoxelSite is out of beta.
Not needed yet. Test with the regular license first.
Early testers are granted extended license use with a regular license. Help us test, and you're covered.
Compatibility
Control panels we're
working on.
VoxelSwarm uses an adapter system to create hosting accounts and configure your control panel. Each account starts with a subdomain and supports custom domains. We're building and testing support for each major panel. Your testing and feedback is critical — every environment is different.

Open source
Free because
we mean it.
If we say instances are better than SaaS, we should prove it by letting anyone run their own Swarm. VoxelSwarm is MIT licensed. Inspect the code. Modify it. Contribute back.
Inspect everything
Every line of provisioning, routing, and deployment logic is visible. No black boxes.
Contribute adapters
Run Swarm on hosting we haven't tested? Write an adapter. Submit a PR. Help others.
Report edge cases
Every hosting environment is different. Your bug reports make Swarm better for everyone.
Use cases
Who runs a Swarm?
