A PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOL YOU CONTROL
What Is dotProject?
dotProject is a free, open-source, web-based project management application written in PHP. It's been around since 2001, built and maintained by a community of volunteers. Because it runs on PHP and MySQL, it fits naturally on shared hosting with no special server setup, no licensing fees, and no vendor lock-in.
You get a full project management workspace in your browser: task tracking, Gantt charts, time logging, file sharing, a team forum, a helpdesk, and a calendar, all in one place. It's a good fit for small businesses, agencies, and project teams that want a self-hosted solution they can control.
dotProject is released under an open-source license, so the software itself is always free to download and use. You only pay for the hosting that runs it.

Still have questions?
Click below and directly reach one of our awesome support people.
Is dotProject free to download and use?
Yes. dotProject is free, open-source software. You download and use it at no cost. You only pay for our Web Hosting plan that runs it.
What PHP version does dotProject need?
dotProject runs on PHP 5.6 and above. Version 2.1.9 added full PHP 7 support. All HostPapa Web Hosting plans include many PHP versions, including all the latest ones, so you're covered not only for dotProject, but for other web applications supported by Softaculous, too.
Can I install dotProject with one click?
Yes. HostPapa includes Softaculous with every cPanel hosting plan. Find dotProject under the Project Management category in Softaculous and install it in about a minute.
Is dotProject still actively maintained?
dotProject is a community-maintained, volunteer-supported project. It's not under active commercial development, but the codebase is stable, and community-contributed modules are still available online. For teams that need a lightweight, cost-free project management tool on a mature codebase, it's a reliable choice.
Can I migrate my existing dotProject site to HostPapa?
Yes. Our PapaSquad migration team will move your dotProject database, files, and settings. Request a migration after signing up, and we'll take care of everything.
What's the difference between dotProject and WordPress?
WordPress is a content management system for websites and blogs. dotProject is a project management application for tracking tasks, Gantt charts, time logs, and team communication. Both run on PHP and MySQL, but they serve completely different purposes. HostPapa supports both with one-click installation via Softaculous.
Can I use dotProject to manage client projects?
Yes, its main purpose is exactly that. dotProject supports multiple companies, departments, and users. You can give clients a limited-access role that lets them view project status and submit tickets without accessing your internal data.
What other project management apps does HostPapa support?
HostPapa's Softaculous installer supports many other project management applications, including ProjectPier, Collabtive, qdPM, and Feng Office. You'll find them under the Project Management category in Softaculous.
