Meet Ranjan Chatterjee
Ranjan Chatterjee is a Linux system administrator and web hosting specialist with over 10 years of hands-on experience managing complex server environments. From configuring bare-metal servers to optimizing high-traffic stacks, he has spent his career deep in the infrastructure that keeps websites online — handling everything from cPanel and WHM administration to WHMCS billing systems, security hardening, malware detection, and performance caching.
After managing thousands of hosting accounts and witnessing first-hand how cost locks capable people out of quality infrastructure, Ranjan built cpanelfree to bridge that gap. His goal was straightforward: give developers, students, and small businesses the exact same professional-grade hosting stack — real cPanel, Softaculous auto-installer, free SSL, and unlimited bandwidth — without charging a single cent for it.
For projects that eventually need more room to grow, Ranjan also runs MeraHost (merahost.org) — an Indian web hosting provider built on NVMe SSD storage, offering shared hosting, managed VPS, dedicated servers, and domain registration, backed by more than 12 years of operational experience.
