    Intermittent. @dustinc is doing flash sales 10 at a time and has been for a few days I think. But you have to be one of the first people to catch the flash sale.

    We still got plenty more to go where that came from :) Let's gooo!

    BRING-IT-ON!

    Thanks @dustinc for the welcome and the detailed answers! I'm currently on a shared hosting account with cPanel, running a small WordPress site, so the migration tooling sounds like exactly what I'd need. And thanks @schrauger for sharing your hands-on experience too — 6 clicks for WordPress sounds painless enough. Looking forward to giving AdminBolt a proper try!

    Hi @jianghe -- You're very welcome! :) Just to clarify, the cPanel migration tooling I mentioned is for whole-server moves with root level access.

    Since you're on shared hosting currently, @Chris_AdminBolt can better advise on the easiest way to bring your site across but as far as I am aware I believe there is an easy way to restore full cPanel backups onto AdminBolt servers as well. Looking forward to hearing how you get on with AdminBolt!

    @dustinc
    After getting the free vps, it is very simple to use "One Click Apps" to install AdminBolt. Just be patient and come back later, it is ready for use.

    The interface is easy to use, the first thing to is go to settings - Networking , change the default system hostname, then obtain the correct SSL Certificate, after that, we can navigate and learn the AdminBolt system without seeing the red SSL warning icon.

    Lots of things can be easily done in AdminBolt, such install Web Server, configure ssh security, it is very powerful.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    You're very welcome, and Thank You for sharing your experience! :) Glad One Click Apps within ctrl made getting started easy and you've already been exploring what AdminBolt can do.

    Appreciate you sharing the tips too -- helpful for others getting their panels ready :)

    Unlucky, so very unlucky. On time, never am I. With me, the Force no longer is, perhaps. 🥲

    Lose hope, you must not! ;) More giveaways, still to come. Catch the next round, you might -- strong with the refresh button, you must be!

    I’d like to know if the lucky draw is random or based on the first 10 comments.

    Hi @a549250828 -- For the rounds so far, it's the first eligible entries after each giveaway announcement :) Each announcement includes the instructions for that round (and how many are being given away), so be sure to follow those.

    Keep an eye on my latest posts within this thread for the next one :)

    Installed adminbolt and gave it a spin.

    Took me a while to wrap my head around all those settings. It's a lot to look at and quite a lot of things to wrap my head around, esp if you are a first-time reseller. There's a few hiccups, but overall the experience feels polished.

    One thing that I want to add is to have the system automatically flag insecure settings. For example, password-based ssh on root, self-signed certs, suggest reboot when needed, etc.

    Hi @SodaWithoutSparkles -- Thank You for taking AdminBolt for a spin! :) To be fair, the other alternatives (e.g. cPanel/WHM, DirectAdmin, and Plesk) all have a learning curve too. For many of us here, navigating them has become muscle memory after years of use, so it's easy to forget what that first experience was like!

    IMO, AdminBolt is trying to serve both experienced panel users and people getting started with control panels. There's always room to make the interface clearer and easier to navigate, and I believe the team will take the community feedback into consideration.

    Your suggestion to flag insecure settings that deserve attention could help with that too. @Chris_AdminBolt can better comment on what's already covered and what could be added. Appreciate you sharing your experience! 💕

    Hahaha, trying to put the whole party on pause! 😂 I can't promise the timing, but hopefully your next refresh comes with better luck ;)

    What I can say though, is that demand has historically made an influence!
