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.

The Short Version

  • AdminBolt licenses are now available for Hawk Host cloud VPS
  • Two tiers: 2 users for $9.00/mo, or unlimited users for $20.00/mo — features are identical
  • A multi-node, API-first panel you can run standalone or scale across servers
  • Covers the usual account, domain, database, and email jobs, plus AI bot blocking, Cloudflare integration, and an AI assistant

What Is AdminBolt?

A control panel built by hosting industry veterans.

AdminBolt was launched by industry veterans with a long history of developing software for the web hosting space. It offers a flat fee per server, a multi-node architecture, and an API-first driven design. You can run it as a standalone panel, as you would with many competing panels, but also scale beyond a single server.


Simple Licensing

Both tiers include every feature.

LicenseAccountsPrice
AdminBolt Standalone2 users$9.00/mo
AdminBoltUnlimited users$20.00/mo

Each license offers the same features and access; the only difference is the number of accounts you’re able to create with that license.
