  Haha, got in right at the top of that last round with the correct answer, only to realize my account was registered after October 1 - so close! Thanks for running such a fun giveaway, @dustinc. Is the giveaway still going? Any more rounds or prizes coming? Would love another shot!

  Hi @dustinc, could you please help me check my entry in the October 16 screenshot round? My entry is here: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4888405/#Comment_4888405 . Could you clarify why I wasn't included among the winners—was I outside the first 10 eligible entries, or did my screenshot miss a requirement? Thanks for your time and for hosting the giveaway!

  Buddy, your reply is somewhere around the 30th one—how are you planning to get it [the reward/offer]? The requirement is to be among the first 10.

  RackNerd's rule: As long as there's no clear announcement that it's over, the giveaway could continue at any time!!! And what we need to do is keep hyping up our party to convince @dustinc to keep hosting it!

  I just installed AdminBold, the panel looks clean and easy to use,
  there're a few thing I'd like to ask:

  1. Webserver: it says "No engine chosen yet - Apache assumed", I can't find anywhere to "choose" while installing the AdminBold Panel, how to do if I want to use nginx instead?
  2. When I tried to issue free SSL, it failed with error:
     "Bolt Agent could not complete the requested server operation. Use correlation ID c763fe54-5516-41fd-b577-41e102909acc when contacting support."

  Thanks for the giveaway prize, @dustinc!

  Compared to DirectAdmin, AdminBolt has a much better UI design! By the way, should we exclude dead PHP versions by default? If they need an EOL PHP version, they can install it manually.

  AdminBolt feedback from a giveaway winner — thank you @dustinc, RackNerd & AdminBolt!

  Got my 4GB LA VPS activated within about an hour of replying, then installed AdminBolt from RackNerd ctrl > One Click Apps. The install took ~15 minutes and handed me the credentials right in the panel. Smooth.

  What I liked:

  • Setup wizard is only 2 steps, and the server was ready with an admin + hosting account created automatically.
  • Clean, modern UI (light theme with orange accents, dark mode toggle, menu search). Pages load in 1–3 seconds even while it was still installing PHP versions in the background.
  • Dashboard gives a good overview at a glance: CPU / RAM / disk, account and domain counts, Web/DB/Mail/DNS status, and a "needs attention" list.
  • Lots of features out of the box: multiple PHP versions, Apache + ModSecurity, Fail2Ban/firewall, backups, migration, modules like ImunifyAV and CPGuard, and WHMCS/Blesta/Upmind integrations.
  • The client panel feels familiar (cPanel-like): File Manager, Zone Editor, phpMyAdmin, Git, email, WordPress management, Redis, plus an AI assistant.

  Small suggestions:

  • The self-signed cert is issued for the myboltip.com hostname, so opening via raw IP shows a name-mismatch warning; maybe point the post-install link to the hostname.
  • The setup wizard accepted a blank username.
  • Clicking some sidebar parents (Customers, Settings) only expands them instead of opening a page.

  Overall a very promising panel and a great RackNerd deal. Thanks again for the giveaway!
