Why we build AdminBolt
The hosting panel market hasn't evolved in 20 years. Running on a legacy panel is no longer a guarantee of the best product - it's slowly turning good hosters into old-school providers. We're building AdminBolt to help hosters escape that path before it pushes them to the margins of the market, and to let them compete on product quality again - not just on price.

Leave your legacy panel without leaving your data behind
One tool moves everything to AdminBolt: accounts, websites, databases, email, DNS, and SSL. Convert your current server in place, migrate to a fresh one, or hand the whole move to our team. Either way, nothing is switched off until you say so.
Convert your server in place
Keep the hardware, swap the panel.
- The tool scans your server and shows exactly what will move, before anything changes.
- AdminBolt installs alongside your current panel, so both coexist while you review.
- On your go-ahead, the switchover happens in one step - mailbox and database passwords unchanged.
- Roll back at any point, until you confirm you are done.
Migrate to a new server
Fresh hardware, same setup.
- Point the tool at your new server - it handles the rest, including installing AdminBolt.
- Accounts, plans, and resellers are recreated on the new server exactly as they were.
- Websites, databases, and mail copy over with live progress, while your current server keeps serving traffic.
- DNS switches to the new server when everything is in place - the old machine stays untouched as your fallback.
We migrate it for you
Hands-off. Our team runs it.
- Book a free migration call and tell us what you run today.
- We map and scope the move, and answer every question before anything changes.
- Our team runs the migration alongside your live setup - nothing is switched off until it is verified.
- We cut over when you are ready, with zero downtime, and stay on hand afterwards.
What moves with you
Websites and files, MySQL databases, email accounts with every stored message, forwarders and autoresponders, DNS zones, SSL certificates, cron jobs, FTP accounts, hosting plans, and resellers. Your customers keep their mailbox and database passwords, so nothing needs to be reset or reconfigured on their side.
running in production on the modern open stack
Your panel should get cheaper as you scale.
Most do the opposite
The per-account tax per-account panels
They bill by account. At 200 accounts a legacy panel runs roughly $119/mo per server, and every account past 100 now adds $0.35. AdminBolt is flat - $20 per server, unlimited accounts.
Annual price hikes +26% in 2026
Legacy panels have climbed about 55% in seven years; Plesk raised prices 26% in January 2026. Their bill grows while your margin shrinks.
One login, one invoice - per box single-server panels
Ten legacy-panel servers means ten logins and ten invoices. AdminBolt runs all your servers from one panel and one bill.

Run and automate every server from one place
AdminBolt manages every server you run through one panel and one API - add servers, push changes, and automate provisioning across all of them at once, instead of logging into each box. A complete production stack ships in the box, light enough to fit more customers on the same hardware.
Multi-server control
Manage many servers from one dashboard with SSO, federated through the Hub. Attach dedicated email and database nodes when you need them.
- DNS clustering across your servers and external Plesk, DirectAdmin and other panels, with conflict detection
- Server health monitoring across every node, at a glance
- Migrate account configuration between servers
- Pin PHP and stack versions per node
Performance
Apache or LiteSpeed, switchable from the panel. Multi-PHP per domain across REMI, CloudLinux Alt-PHP and LSPHP, with PHP-FPM, OPcache, Git deploy and Softaculous.
Security
Full CloudLinux with per-plan LVE resource limits and CageFS isolation, ModSecurity with OWASP CRS - included, not an add-on. Imunify360 available as an integration.
Postfix, Dovecot and Rspamd with automatic DKIM, SPF, DMARC and mail autodiscovery. Separate email nodes to protect deliverability.
WordPress
WordPress Toolkit for staging, cloning and bulk updates, with AI assistance for routine fixes.
Databases
MySQL and MariaDB with phpMyAdmin. Create databases and users with per-account quotas from the panel - no extra product or fee.
Automation and AI
Complete REST API and native WHMCS, plus AI-assisted operations connected through MCP.
- AI assistant on every client dashboard - in the browser or over WhatsApp
- Slack / Discord alerts on server and account events
- Reseller system with per-plan resource limits
- JetBackup scheduled backups and one-click restore
Your entire hosting stack - in the box, not a marketplace of add-ons
Every capability below ships in every plan, on every server. No per-feature licenses, no bolt-ons to buy, no enterprise tier to unlock.

Multi-server management, from one login
One Hub links every server you run into a single dashboard - health, services, engine versions and accounts across every node, instead of logging into each box.
01
Federate every server with SSO
Pair servers to the Hub and jump into any of them from one dashboard - web, email and database nodes, all in one place.
02
Pin engine versions per server
Watch server health at a glance and pin PHP and stack versions per node, so an upgrade on one box never surprises another.
03
Move accounts between servers
Migrate an account's configuration from one server to another without leaving the panel - rebalance load or retire a box on your schedule.
The first panel you can just talk to
A built-in assistant on every client dashboard runs real panel actions from plain requests - list sites, change PHP, read logs, manage mailboxes - in the browser, or over WhatsApp.
switch example.com to PHP 8.3
PHP 8.3 active on example.com
why is mail bouncing on shop.co?
rspamd: SPF=fail, sender not in policy
→ add include:_spf.adminbolt.com to fix
→ add include:_spf.adminbolt.com to fix
delete mailbox [email protected]
confirmation word required before delete
Scoped to what the account can do
The assistant only runs actions the signed-in user already has permission for - read, write and delete stay inside the same permission model.
A confirmation word on anything destructive
Deletes and other irreversible actions pause for an explicit confirmation, so a fast question never turns into an accident.
Continues on WhatsApp
Pair the same scoped assistant to a WhatsApp number through the AI Agent Hub - the session that starts in the browser carries on from your phone.
Three advantages a legacy panel can't copy by shipping a feature
A clean screen is easy to build. These change the economics and the risk of running your hosting business, and they are structural - not cosmetic.
Pricing
Flat pricing a legacy panel can't follow
Legacy panels are built on per-account revenue and carry the cost structure to match. Cutting your bill would cut theirs - so their prices keep rising. Flat per-server isn't a promotion, it's the model.
Migration
Switch from a legacy panel in place
The Converter installs alongside your legacy panel on the same server - run both, compare side by side, and move accounts in waves. No new hardware, no big-bang cutover, and a roll-back path the whole way.
Operations
AI-assisted operations, today
AdminBolt is built to be driven by AI: manage hosting and fix WordPress sites through your AI tools, not a roadmap promise. The routine work that fills your support queue starts to handle itself.

Competitor figures from published list prices and documentation, early 2026; verify before publishing. DirectAdmin and AdminBolt both use flat per-server licensing - the cost gap is widest against cPanel.
One flat price per server. Unlimited accounts
You only choose the server type - the platform is identical on both. No per-account fees, no feature paywalls, 30-day free trial without a credit card.
