Denver, Delaware – February 2026

Plus Hosting Grupa, a leading Croatian cloud and hosting group, has entered into a structured pilot program with Adminbolt to evaluate Adminbolt as a potential control panel solution within selected environments across the Plus Hosting Grupa portfolio.

This collaboration reflects a deeper structural shift within the hosting industry, where control panel infrastructure has evolved from an operational layer into a strategic financial and risk-management decision.

A strategic infrastructure evaluation

For multi-brand hosting groups, control panel technology directly impacts licensing exposure, operational scalability, automation depth, and long-term vendor dependency.

Over the past decade, market consolidation and evolving licensing models have materially altered the economics of this layer of the stack.

Plus Hosting Grupa’s decision to initiate a formal evaluation of Adminbolt is rooted in long-term infrastructure governance.

The objective is clear: assess whether a modern, API-first control panel architecture can deliver greater cost predictability, operational flexibility, and structural independence without compromising performance or customer experience.

Scope of the pilot

The structured pilot program includes:

  • Deployment of Adminbolt within selected Plus Hosting Grupa infrastructure environments
  • Validation of full panel-level conversion workflows
  • Performance benchmarking under live customer workloads
  • Security validation and architectural stress testing
  • Operational compatibility with provisioning and automation systems
  • Direct feedback loops between Plus Hosting Grupa engineering teams and Adminbolt developers

This is a production-grade evaluation. The platform will be tested under real operational conditions, not theoretical benchmarks.

Industry context

As hosting groups scale and consolidate, vendor concentration risk and licensing volatility have become board-level concerns.

Control panel dependency directly influences EBITDA stability, pricing strategy, and acquisition integration processes.

By exploring Adminbolt at an early stage, Plus Hosting Grupa demonstrates a proactive approach to infrastructure diversification and long-term resilience.

For Adminbolt, the pilot represents a significant milestone. Validation within a publicly listed hosting group with disciplined operational standards provides the environment necessary to stress-test both architecture and execution.

Leadership commentary

Lukasz Gawior, Founder of adminbolt, commented:

“Hosting providers need strategic optionality. Control panels should enhance margin predictability and operational control – not undermine them. Plus Hosting Grupa operates with long-term discipline. Running a structured evaluation in their environment is an important validation step for Adminbolt.”

The pilot phase will run over the coming months.

Following completion, both parties will evaluate technical performance, operational integration, customer experience impact, and financial implications before determining potential next steps.
