Sleipnir Web Server

Sleipnir is Unicorn's proprietary software, engineered exclusively for Alpine Linux and written in raw C to provide high-performance, purpose-built infrastructure for the websites hosted on Unicorn Panel.

The entire server weighs about 215 kilobytes. No bloat. No sprawling dependencies. Just a single, self-contained binary that boots faster than the blink of an eye and gets out of the way - leaving every ounce of horsepower for the only thing that matters: your site.

Sleipnir reads .htaccess natively. Your WordPress sites, your permalinks, your rewrite rules, your redirects: they all run exactly as they are. 

This is just the first stride

Sleipnir is already live, already serving (it's serving this discussions forum), and already getting faster.

Because we built it ourselves, we own every inch of the track. Every optimization, every feature, every fix lands on our schedule, tuned for our users, not the lowest common denominator. That's a promise no off-the-shelf server can make.

We named it after the fastest horse in mythology. Now we're going to prove it. 🐎

Sleipnir is part of our relentless push to make hosting faster, leaner, and tougher. Keep your eyes on Developmental Updates - the best is yet to come.
