We are pleased to share that Plus Hosting Grupa has initiated a structured pilot program with adminbolt, evaluating our platform as a next-generation control panel across select environments in their European hosting portfolio.
About Plus Hosting Grupa
Plus Hosting Grupa is one of Croatia's leading cloud and hosting companies. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Pula, the company is part of DHH, a publicly listed European cloud infrastructure group. They serve a broad customer base ranging from SMEs and digital businesses to enterprise clients across the region.
This is not a small player exploring options. This is an established hosting group with over two decades of operational experience making a deliberate, structured decision to evaluate whether adminbolt fits their infrastructure direction.
What the Pilot Covers
The evaluation is production-grade, not a sandbox exercise. The scope includes:
- Deployment across selected live environments within their portfolio
- Full panel-level migration workflow validation
- Performance benchmarking under real customer workloads
- Security validation and architectural stress testing
- Compatibility testing with their existing provisioning systems
- Direct feedback loops between our engineering teams
We are running this together. Their team is embedded in the process, and we are iterating based on what we learn from their production environment.
Why This Is Happening
The context behind this evaluation reflects a shift we are seeing across the industry. For hosting groups operating at scale, control panel licensing has become a strategic financial and risk-management question, not just a tooling decision.
The key drivers Plus Hosting Grupa identified align closely with what we built adminbolt to address: long-term vendor dependency risk, unpredictable per-account licensing costs as portfolios grow, and the need for operational flexibility without being locked into a single vendor's roadmap.
"Hosting providers need strategic optionality. Control panels should enhance margin predictability and operational control."
Lukasz Gawior, founder of adminbolt
What This Means for Us
Having a group like Plus Hosting Grupa run a production evaluation is a meaningful signal. It validates the direction we have taken with adminbolt: flat per-server pricing, an API-first architecture, and a migration toolchain built for real-world complexity.
We are focused on making this pilot successful. The feedback we get from their environments will directly shape the product. That is exactly the kind of collaboration we want to be in.
We will share more as the evaluation progresses.
