20x LIFETIME ADMINBOLT LICENSES -- YOUR FEEDBACK ALSO ENTERS YOU TO WIN!
Every giveaway VPS winner who completes the feedback step receives one entry into a random drawing for 1 of 20 lifetime AdminBolt licenses!
Each lifetime license is a single license that works on one server of your choice at a time - it isn't permanently tied to your giveaway VPS or limited to RackNerd servers. Please note that the lifetime license will be issued to the winner's AdminBolt account, and may not be transferred to another person or resold in the future (but when migrating from one server to another, winner can click on "Reissue License" from within the AdminBolt portal to reissue the license for use on another server).

Christian from RackNerdTV will compile the eligible participant list and randomly select 20 winners on camera using an online list randomizer. We'll share the video announcement here in the thread!
The feedback cutoff and drawing date are still TBD, but we'll announce those details in this thread ahead of time so everyone has time to participate and mark their calendars

Comments
We put together this overview of AdminBolt on RackNerdTV back in April! I must say, in just several months, AdminBolt has come a long way, with plenty of new features and improvements, but the video is still a great introduction and worth watching
This is a project we’re quite excited about, both for the pace of development and their approach to building a modern hosting panel from the ground up. There’s something refreshing about seeing a platform built around today’s hosting needs, rather than continually bolting new features onto a legacy foundation.
One notable addition since the video was published is the ability to move from cPanel/WHM to AdminBolt in place, on the same server, without needing to migrate your accounts to another server! This is huge and removes a major barrier for hosting providers & server administrators considering the switch (with no downtime too!)

Hi @harrison -- Thank You! Always great to party it up with you all around this time of the year
We truly believe that AdminBolt is a solid alternative to many of the legacy panels out there today. There's something to be said about starting with a modern framework from day one -- this is a project we've been watching since early this year, and the pace of development (and the amount of server administrators and providers already integrating it) in just a short period of time has been impressive to see.
With RackNerd ctrl freshly launched, the timing couldn't be better to bring this giveaway to the community! Let's gooo!
Hi @MrEd -- We've missed partying with you all too! Great to see familiar faces coming together again, and this time even better with AdminBolt licensing being included in the giveaway! Plenty to give away, plenty to talk about -- let's make this another fun one
Love it

We'll be giving away 100 VPS within this thread, free for a year and each including 1 YEAR FREE AdminBolt licensing! Separate from that, we're also giving away 20 LIFETIME AdminBolt licenses that can be used on any server, anywhere! Let's go! 🥳
