What Is MantisBT (Mantis Bug Tracker)?
MantisBT, short for Mantis Bug Tracker, is a free, open-source, web-based bug tracking and issue management system. Software development teams use it to report bugs, assign tasks, track progress, and keep projects on schedule, all in one place. It's been in active development since 2000 and has a large, trusted community behind it.
MantisBT is written in PHP and works with MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL databases. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. It's available in 68 languages and supports Projects, Sub-Projects, and Categories out of the box. A built-in plugin system gives you access to more than 50 additional plugins, so you can extend MantisBT to fit the way your team works.
Self-hosting MantisBT gives your team full control over your data, your configuration, and your costs. You pick the plan that fits your team size, and you're not paying per seat.
THE BUG TRACKER YOUR DEV TEAM ALREADY KNOWS
What You Can Do With MantisBT?
MantisBT gives your team a centralized home for every bug, feature request, and task, from the moment it's reported to the moment it's closed.
Here's what you get out of the box:
- Issue tracking with unique IDs. Every bug gets its own ID, status, priority, and full history.
- Custom workflows & fields. Set your own issue statuses, resolutions, and transitions to match how your team actually works.
- Role-based access control. Assign roles like reporter, developer, and reviewer.
- Email notifications. Team members get automatic updates when an issue changes status, gets reassigned, or receives a new note.
- Plugin & integration support. Connect MantisBT to version control systems, CI/CD pipelines, and third-party tools.
- RSS feeds & saved filters. Follow specific issues or projects with RSS feeds and filter views.
- Sponsorships & bounties. Users can place bounties on specific issues, useful for open-source projects soliciting community contributions.

Why Choose HostPapa for Your MantisBT Hosting?
A lot of web hosts support PHP and MySQL, which means they technically support MantisBT. What separates us isn't the checkbox; it's what happens after you click Install.

MantisBT vs. Other Issue Trackers
A lot of teams eventually compare MantisBT to other tools before committing to self-hosted. Here's how it stacks up.
- MantisBT vs. Jira: Jira is powerful, but it's expensive at scale and takes time to configure. MantisBT is free and gets your team tracking issues on day one. You're not paying per user, and you're not locked into a vendor's pricing model.
- MantisBT vs. Redmine: Redmine and MantisBT are both free and open-source. MantisBT tends to have a simpler interface and a faster setup time for teams who just need bug tracking without project management overhead.
- MantisBT vs. Bugzilla: Bugzilla is one of the original bug trackers. MantisBT has a cleaner interface, more active development, and broader plugin support. For new self-hosted setups, MantisBT is generally the easier choice.
- MantisBT vs. hosted SaaS services: SaaS bug trackers charge per user and per month. With a self-hosted MantisBT on HostPapa, your cost is your hosting plan, not your team size. You also keep full ownership of your data.

What is MantisBT, and what does a MantisBT hosting plan include?
MantisBT (Mantis Bug Tracker) is a free, open-source bug tracking and issue management system written in PHP. A MantisBT hosting plan from HostPapa includes 1-click Softaculous installation, PHP 7.4 to 8.2 support, a MySQL or MariaDB database, a free SSL certificate, NVMe storage, and 24/7 support from our PapaSquad team.
Is MantisBT really free?
Yes. MantisBT is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). You don't pay anything for the software itself. You just need a Web Hosting account to run it.
What PHP version does MantisBT require?
MantisBT requires PHP 7.4 or higher. HostPapa supports PHP 5.6 all the way up to 8.2, and you can switch versions directly from cPanel. We recommend PHP 8.1 or 8.2 for the best performance.
Can I install MantisBT with 1 click on HostPapa?
Yes. All HostPapa plans include Softaculous, which installs MantisBT in about two minutes. Log into cPanel, open Softaculous, search for MantisBT, and click Install. No server configuration required.
Which HostPapa plan is best for MantisBT?
Our Essentials plan works well for small teams with up to around 20 active users. If you're running MantisBT for a larger team, storing many file attachments, or need multiple MantisBT instances for different projects, our Premium or Elite plans give you more CPU cores, more storage, and unlimited websites.
Can I migrate my existing MantisBT installation to HostPapa?
Yes. HostPapa includes a free website migration service. Our team transfers your MantisBT files and database from your current host, with no data loss and minimal downtime. Contact our PapaSquad team after signing up to get started.
Does HostPapa's MantisBT hosting support email notifications?
Yes. MantisBT sends notifications via SMTP, and every HostPapa plan includes SMTP access and email accounts. Your MantisBT notifications will work right after installation, with no extra setup needed.
Is self-hosted MantisBT secure on HostPapa?
All HostPapa plans include Imunify360 security, which covers automated malware detection and removal, a Web Application Firewall, and intrusion prevention. Every plan also includes a free SSL certificate, CloudLinux OS account isolation, ModSecurity, and brute-force detection. Higher-tier plans add Protection Power with real-time alerts and DDoS protection.
