What is OpenSupports?

OpenSupports is an open-source ticket system for managing customer support requests. It has a PHP and MySQL back end, a JavaScript front end and an API, and is licensed under GPL-3.0. The project also sells a hosted service. Its last tagged release dates from January 2022.

How to install OpenSupports on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, OpenSupports is live

Project status: Latest tagged release on GitHub is v4.11.0 (11 January 2022); the repository was last pushed to in April 2024. The official documentation states that PHP 8 is not supported yet. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.

License: GPL-3.0 · Built with: PHP + JavaScript + MySQL · Official site: www.opensupports.com

Common uses

  • Small company customer support tickets
  • Simple support portal for a product
  • Department-based ticket handling
  • Self-hosted alternative to a paid ticket SaaS

OpenSupports requirements

  • PHP: PHP 7 or newer per the installation guide, which also notes that PHP 8 is not supported yet
  • Database: MySQL 4.1 or newer
  • PDO extension
  • Apache 2.4+ (AllowOverride enabled so .htaccess works)

OpenSupports documents PHP 7 with MySQL and Apache, and states PHP 8 is not supported yet, so on cPanel you would keep the account on a PHP 7 version. That reflects the project, which has had no release since 2022.

Why host OpenSupports with Hostripples

  • One-click OpenSupports install from Softaculous inside cPanel, with no manual upload or database setup
  • All-NVMe storage and LiteSpeed Enterprise with LSCache for quick page loads
  • Selectable PHP versions per site and CloudLinux account isolation with CageFS
  • Free SSL, daily JetBackup backups and Imunify360 malware protection
  • Free migration of an existing OpenSupports site, and 24×7 support in English

OpenSupports Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

The installation guide lists PHP 7 or newer (noting PHP 8 is not supported yet), MySQL 4.1 or newer, the PDO extension and Apache 2.4 or newer with .htaccess overrides allowed. A web installer checks the server first.
Yes, provided the account can run a PHP 7 version, MySQL and Apache with .htaccess overrides. cPanel lets you select the PHP version. Because PHP 7 is old, weigh the security implications before using it for customer data.
From cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, choose OpenSupports, fill in the site details and press install. It is usually a few clicks and needs no manual file upload or database setup.
The latest tagged release on GitHub is v4.11.0 from January 2022, and the last repository activity we saw was in April 2024. The repository is not archived, but the documented PHP 8 gap is worth weighing before adopting it.
Yes. OpenSupports is open-source software released under the GPL-3.0 license, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.
Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run OpenSupports alongside other apps in its category (Customer Support), such as HESK and osTicket, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.
Check the requirements listed above against the plan resources. Every plan can be upgraded at any time, so you can start small and grow.
Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.
