OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT MANAGEMENT
What Is ProjectPier?
ProjectPier is a free, PHP-based project management application you self-host on your own web server. It gives your team a private workspace to organize projects into milestones and tasks, share files, and communicate through built-in messaging, all without paying a monthly SaaS fee.
Because it runs on your hosting account, you own your data entirely. There is no vendor lock-in, no per-seat pricing, and no data living on someone else's platform. It's a good fit for small businesses, freelancers, and development teams who want full control over their project tools.
Host ProjectPier on HostPapa and ditch the per-seat subscription. Free open-source project management on NVMe hosting with an easy 1-click install.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH PROJECTPIER
Everything Your Team Needs in One Place
ProjectPier organizes your work into projects. Inside each project, you can build out milestones, assign tasks to team members, attach files, and keep the conversation going with threaded messages. It's a straightforward tool with no steep learning curve. You install it once through your cPanel, and it runs on your server from that point forward.
Tasks & Milestones
Organize work by milestone and task. Assign tasks to team members, set due dates, and track progress toward each project milestone from a single dashboard.
File Sharing
Attach files directly to projects and tasks. Your team can upload documents, images, and other assets, so everything stays in one place, no hunting through email threads.
Team Messaging
Send messages inside each project. Keep your project communication separate from email by using ProjectPier's built-in messaging to discuss tasks and share updates in context.
Powerful ProjectPier Hosting
If for any reason you’re not satisfied with our services, you can cancel at any time in the first 30 days of signup to receive a full refund for the service.
Domain fees are non-refundable.

THE PROJECT PIER ADVANTAGE
ProjectPier vs. Paid Project Management Tools
ProjectPier gives you solid project management features without a monthly per-seat bill. It's a real option for teams that don't want to pay $10-$25 per user every month just to share tasks and files.
No Monthly SaaS Fees
Paid alternatives like Trello, Asana, and Monday.com all charge per user per month once you need features like milestones or team messaging. With ProjectPier, you pay for hosting once, and all the project management features are included.
Own Your Data Completely
Cloud-based tools store your project data on their servers. ProjectPier runs on your hosting account, so your files, tasks, and messages never leave your own server. That matters for teams handling confidential client work.
No Vendor Lock-In
Because ProjectPier is open source, you can export, modify, or migrate your data at any time. There's no subscription to cancel and no data to negotiate your way out of.
Because ProjectPier is open source, it doesn't come with a dedicated support team or automatic update service. You're responsible for keeping it current. That's why choosing a host with expert support like HostPapa makes a real difference when you need help.

What is ProjectPier?
ProjectPier is a free, open-source project management application built on PHP and MySQL. You install it on your own web hosting account, giving your team a private workspace to manage tasks, milestones, files, and messages. Because it runs on your server, you own your data completely and pay no monthly per-user subscription fees.
Does HostPapa support ProjectPier?
Yes. ProjectPier is available as a 1-click install via Softaculous on all HostPapa shared hosting plans. Our expert support team can help with server-side questions, PHP configuration, and general hosting issues related to your ProjectPier install.
What hosting plan do I need to run ProjectPier?
Any of our shared hosting plans will run ProjectPier. You need a plan that includes PHP 5.2 or higher and at least one MySQL database, both included on every HostPapa plan. For teams, we recommend the Elite plan for unlimited websites and automated daily backups.
Can I install ProjectPier without technical experience?
Yes. Softaculous handles the entire install for you. Log in to cPanel, search for ProjectPier in the Project Management category, fill in a few basic settings (your domain and an admin password), and click Install. The whole process takes under two minutes and doesn't require any coding or manual file uploads.
Is ProjectPier really free?
How do I update ProjectPier after it's installed?
Softaculous can notify you when a new version of ProjectPier is available. You can update through the Softaculous dashboard in cPanel with a single click. We also recommend backing up your installation before any update, which our automated daily backup feature handles on Business plans and above.
Can I migrate an existing ProjectPier install to HostPapa?
Yes. Our free white-glove migration service covers PHP applications like ProjectPier. Our migration team transfers your files, MySQL database, and configuration to your new HostPapa account. Your data stays intact, and your workspace picks up exactly where it left off.
Is my ProjectPier data secure on HostPapa servers?
Yes. Every HostPapa plan includes a Free SSL certificate to encrypt data in transit. Your ProjectPier database and files are stored on our servers, and Business plans include automated daily backups. We also offer additional security products like SiteLock and Protection Power if you need extra coverage.
Does ProjectPier work with cPanel?
Yes. ProjectPier installs directly through Softaculous inside cPanel. Once it's running, you manage your database, files, and backups through the same cPanel dashboard you use for everything else on your hosting account.
