In active development

What our team is building right now, shipping in the next releases.

building now

Malware protection (CPGuard)

CPGuard integration with a full scanning console - on-demand per-account scans, per-plan enablement, and firewall and WAF controls.

building now

OpenLiteSpeed support

OpenLiteSpeed as a free, high-performance web server option alongside Apache and LiteSpeed Enterprise, with per-domain LSCache.

building now

Ticketing system integration

Connect the helpdesk you already run, so support tickets arrive with the account context attached instead of starting from a blank form.

On the roadmap

Planned features and improvements in the pipeline, across the fleet, security, integrations and the platform.

Migration

Plesk migration

Extend the migration toolchain to Plesk, so a Plesk server can be read and rebuilt on AdminBolt the way a cPanel one already is. Plesk moves are planned with our team case by case until then.

Fleet

Dedicated mail and database nodes

Run mail and databases on their own nodes in the fleet, extending today's multi-server web setup and DNS clustering.

Platform

MultiOS support

Run AdminBolt on Debian, Ubuntu and AlmaLinux 10 - not just AlmaLinux 9.

Security

Two-factor auth and passkeys

2FA and passkey login for admins, resellers and clients.

Developer

Git deployment

Connect a repository and deploy on push - AdminBolt builds and publishes your site automatically.

Billing

Blesta module

Automatic account provisioning from Blesta.

Billing

Upmind module

Automatic account provisioning from Upmind.

Email

SMTP relay

Route outgoing mail through MailChannels for better deliverability.

Email

SpamExperts filtering

Professional inbound and outbound email filtering through SpamExperts, with quarantine, archiving and continuity.

Platform

Application marketplace

Install WordPress, eCommerce and business tools directly from the panel.

Platform

Modular integrations

Add and remove integrations independently, so each server runs only what it needs.

What we have shipped

A running record of every release, newest first.

AdminBolt 1.5.0July 29, 2026
  • Mail you can see - admins get a mail queue with active, deferred and hold totals plus filters by sender, recipient and domain, then preview, retry, delete or flush in one click, while clients get recent delivered, deferred and bounced messages for their own domains with the deferral or bounce reason spelled out
  • DNS that travels - export a zone as a standard zone file and import one back, with every line the import could not apply reported and why, plus a configurable DMARC policy and report address
  • Cloudflare from the panel - create a zone on your Cloudflare account, see its nameservers and status, then toggle proxying per domain while mail and service hostnames stay DNS only, with cache purge and development mode one click away
  • Per-site AI bot blocking - your clients allow or block 27 known AI crawlers by bot type and by owner, so each site owner decides who gets to read their content
  • Improved JetBackup Linux integration - backups and restores cover every account resource instead of only the home directory, with FTP and mailbox passwords intact after a restore
  • A security pass across the panel - private process listings, restricted home directory permissions, firewall rules applied per IP family and automatic bans on repeated failed panel logins
AdminBolt 1.4.0July 23, 2026
  • International domain names across the panel - stored as Punycode, shown in the readable Unicode form their owners actually write
  • Login shortcut URLs on account domains - /cpanel opens the panel login, /webmail opens webmail and /panel ships as a third default, customisable or switched off from the admin panel
  • More than 60 security and access-control items - ownership checks on account actions, input validation on submit and restricted path handling across the panel, agent, Git, databases, email and files
  • Panel and bolt-agent traffic authenticates with a valid token on every request, with sensitive values kept out of process listings and logs
Migration toolchainJuly 22, 2026
  • cPanel and WHM conversion in place - AdminBolt installs alongside, every account is imported, and a rollback stays open until the switch is confirmed
  • cPanel/WHM and DirectAdmin migration onto a fresh server - files, databases and stored mail transferred while the source server keeps serving traffic
  • Dry run, typed confirmations on every irreversible step, and resumable runs that skip accounts which already moved
  • Mailbox and database passwords preserved, so applications reconnect and users log in unchanged
AdminBolt 1.3.0July 15, 2026
  • Import email (IMAP) on every mailbox - pull messages in from any external IMAP server, with a connection test first and live progress as they arrive
  • Resource Limits on reseller-managed accounts, so resellers shape their own limits instead of opening a ticket
  • 18 new panel languages, and a sweep that wrapped the interface strings that were still untranslated
  • Automatic SSL for hosting domains - issued and renewed on a schedule, with mail hostnames as their own certificate group
  • A long security hardening pass across the panel, agent and bundled modules - hashed FTP passwords, locked-down Roundcube and mail data, validated input
AdminBolt 1.2.2July 9, 2026
  • Per-account bandwidth limits that override the plan, with usage that now tracks the calendar month and resets on its own
  • Email forwarders can keep a local copy, so a forwarded message is still waiting in the mailbox behind it
  • Hub flags a node Stale and then Offline when it stops reporting in, with the last time each one was seen
  • Suspended clients get a clear message at login instead of a bounce that looks like a wrong password
AdminBolt 1.2.1July 3, 2026
  • BoltTerminal - the SSH module rebuilt for CloudLinux, with isolation handled natively by CageFS instead of a bolt-on layer
  • Native CloudLinux SSH and cron on hosting accounts, with accounts created before the upgrade moved onto the same path
  • LiteSpeed trial-key activation fixed, and custom hostname SSL re-issued automatically when it stops matching the hostname
AdminBolt 1.2.0July 1, 2026
  • Full CloudLinux integration - guided installer, LVE Manager, Alt-PHP 5.2-8.x and per-plan resource limits
  • Full LiteSpeed integration - switch Apache and LiteSpeed in-panel, LSPHP 7.4-8.5, per-domain LSCache
  • Rebuilt PHP version manager - REMI, Alt-PHP and LSPHP side by side, with automatic sync
AdminBolt 1.1.0June 25, 2026
  • Multi-server fleet and Hub federation - node pairing, fleet health and SSO across servers
  • Account migration between fleet members
  • DNS clustering across your servers and external cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin panels, with conflict detection
  • Mail autodiscovery (RFC 6186) and Slack / Discord fleet alerts
AdminBolt 1.0.4June 4, 2026
  • Full Client REST API - databases, domains, email, DNS, SSL and WordPress
  • Redesigned one-click updates with package-manager-native discovery
  • Version-gated upgrade framework for safer releases
AdminBolt 1.0.2May 22, 2026
  • Redesigned WordPress client UI with SSO into wp-admin and an async installer

AdminBolt 1.0.0March 19, 2026

Public beta2025
  • Multi-server node linking - web, email and database nodes
  • REST API v1
  • Bolt Dashboard, IP management and the plugin system
  • Imunify360, JetBackup and Softaculous integrations
