Its flat per-server licensing model also removes the per-account pricing that can make a traditional control panel increasingly expensive as a server grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For oXnames customers, this means there is now another credible choice when ordering a virtual or dedicated server, together with help from our team when it is time to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A control panel built around the way servers are used today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AdminBolt is not simply a different skin over an old hosting panel. It has been designed as a modern platform for managing one server or an entire group of servers from a central dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It supports the services customers expect from a production hosting environment, including multiple PHP versions, MySQL and MariaDB databases, DNS management, email, automatic SSL, WordPress tools, account-level backups and integrations with widely used hosting software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Server operators can use Apache, LiteSpeed Enterprise or OpenLiteSpeed, while security options include two-factor authentication, activity logging, ModSecurity and integrations with platforms such as CloudLinux and Imunify360.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also native WHMCS support and a REST API, making AdminBolt suitable for customers who need to automate account provisioning or connect the panel to an existing hosting operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A more predictable alternative to per-account licensing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Control panel licensing has changed significantly over the past few years. For customers hosting a growing number of websites, per-account charges can make the monthly cost difficult to predict and can eventually cost more than the server resources themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AdminBolt takes a different approach with flat pricing per server and support for unlimited hosting accounts on its VPS and bare-metal plans. That makes the cost easier to understand from the outset and allows customers to grow without seeing the panel bill rise each time another account is added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cost is not the only reason to choose a panel, of course. Reliability, security, compatibility and support all matter. We partnered with AdminBolt because it brings those operational requirements together with a licensing model that makes sense for customers who want room to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Migration assistance from oXnames<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing control panels can sound daunting, particularly when a live server contains websites, databases, mailboxes, DNS records and SSL certificates that all need to continue working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers ordering an eligible oXnames <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/cloud\/uk-vps-hosting\/\">VPS<\/a> or dedicated server can ask us for assistance moving from cPanel or another supported environment to AdminBolt. We will review the existing setup, help plan the migration and work through the transfer with you so that the new environment can be checked before the final switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AdminBolt includes migration tooling for moving accounts, websites, databases, email, DNS and SSL data. Depending on the existing configuration, a server can be converted in place or its accounts can be moved to a new server while the original remains available during testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every server is slightly different, so we will assess custom applications, unusual mail configurations and third-party integrations before confirming the migration plan. The aim is simple: give customers a supported route to a more affordable panel without leaving them to work through the move alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Available with oXnames VPS and dedicated servers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AdminBolt is available as a control panel option for customers ordering a new oXnames virtual or dedicated server. It is suitable for individual server owners, agencies, developers and hosting providers that need straightforward website management without tying future growth to per-account licence increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers retain the flexibility to choose the server resources that fit their workload, while AdminBolt provides the management layer for websites, email, databases, DNS and day-to-day administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existing oXnames customers who are considering moving away from cPanel can also contact us to discuss compatibility and the best migration route for their current server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talk to us about moving to AdminBolt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are not removing choice or telling every customer that one panel fits every workload. cPanel remains familiar and appropriate for many environments. The AdminBolt partnership gives our customers a serious alternative where modern management, predictable licensing and lower ongoing panel costs are the priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To discuss an AdminBolt VPS or dedicated server, or to ask about migrating an existing hosting environment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/contact\/\">contact the oXnames team<\/a>. We will review what you run today and help you choose a sensible way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also learn more about the platform, features and current licensing directly on the <a href=\"https:\/\/adminbolt.com\/\">AdminBolt website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>oXnames Partners with AdminBolt to Offer a Modern, Cost-Effective cPanel Alternative The hosting control panel has always been an important part of running a server,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2577,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,5],"tags":[50,49,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-2574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-technology","tag-adminbolt","tag-cpanel-alternative","tag-dedicated-servers","tag-hosting-control-panel","tag-server-migration","tag-vps-hosting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2574"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2574\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2578,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2574\/revisions\/2578"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oxnames.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
