AdminBolt Licenses Now Available for Cloud VPS

Posted on Fri Oct 16, 2026 by Tony Baird

AdminBolt VPS hosting licenses now available from Hawk Host.

AdminBolt VPS Licenses Now Available

A modern control panel at a fraction of the price.

Flat per-server pricing, multi-node architecture, and an API-first design.

We understand that managing a virtual private server can be challenging, but there are many cases where you may require more than shared web hosting can provide. You may even have no problem navigating a Linux server, but you do not want the daily maintenance. There was a time when the conventional choice would be cPanel/WHM. We understand, though, that there is a growing number of affordable control panels that compete with cPanel/WHM at a fraction of the price. Last year, we added Webuzo, and this year, we’re happy to announce that we now offer AdminBolt licenses as well.

FreshRSS Tips: Build Feeds for Sites Without RSS

Running a feed reader creates a very specific annoyance: you find a site you want to follow, look for the little orange icon, and come up empty. Now you are supposed to remember to check the page yourself, which means you probably will not.

Some of the sites you gave up on already publish a feed and simply do not advertise it. For the rest, FreshRSS can build one from the page itself.

FreshRSS Tips: Turn Search Into a Rules Engine

FreshRSS Tips: Turn Search Into a Rules Engine

It is easy to treat the FreshRSS search box like every other search box: type a word, scan the results, move on.

That misses most of what it can do. The box accepts a small query language, and FreshRSS builds its best automation on top of it. The same expression that finds articles can run automatically on everything a feed receives. Save it and you have a virtual feed; share it and another application can subscribe to the result as RSS.
