cPanel is the world’s number 1 control panel for web hosts.

cPanel launched a bomb, on June 27, 2019, for its customers with an increase in the price of services which made some of them run for the door marked exit ( letter which announces an increase in prices, written by the CEO of cPanel ) .

In the company, specializations of the interfaces are simplified to the management of Web sites and servers, and announced increases (PDF) in its prices without notice. Licenses purchased or renewed are immediately applied, and monthly ones remain in place until September 1st.

Annual licenses are also intended to be deleted and will be converted into monthly invoices with the measures of their renewal.

An Auparavant le prix d’une License cPanel et WHM is available for $ 15 / month ($ 180 / year), plus $ 45 per month for $ 35 / year.

Of course, a licensed license included a clueless cmpanel nombre.

It is also important to note that this is a simple way of introducing a new model of de facto tion that can be avoided.

Forest license subscriptions are monthly only. They have been completely redone for: Admin, Pro and Premier (at $20, $30 and $45 / month respectively), but this is what really bothers customers: a limit on the number of cPanel accounts is applied per license .

At the VPS (called cloud now) license, you have 45% per month and are limited to 100 accounts. Additional accounts will require an additional $0.20/month each.

“Historically, cPanel has based its services and preferred environment, pricing structure.” Um, okay…!!

While the company says benefits are given to “customers with a lower density of cPanel accounts,” those with a higher density may be in for a shock.

cPanel density = Number of accounts on a single license therefore on a single VPS server or dedicated server since before it was calculation mode.

And “goodness of God”, as his customers shouted!!! Several web hosting providers have complained that this change means an increase of up to 800% on desktop insurance. Which is huge!

Some small hosts have published their figures and made radical decisions:

“Cela n’affecta pas mé société d’hébergement

For what? We have an average of 700-900 accounts per server (high density servers with high specifications) – so the first 100 cPanel accounts are included in the cPanel license – so for each server we have to pay at least 600 licenses = 600 x 0 ,20 USD will cost US$120.00 per server per month.

But we have 13 services, 13 x 120US$ = 1,560.00 US$

US$1,560.00 month, totaling $18,720US$ year.

Of course, you won’t miss this, it’s more economical to move to DirectAdmin or Interworx.

They have cPanel revoir. “

Others will transfer this cost to the end customer, but this will not be without difficulty…

Transfers of the price increases on customers in demand at the sea of ​​courage in the competitive accommodation market. For some, it will be easier to look elsewhere.

A four-seater of the Basque in Royaume-Uni and the simplistic freelance of the new licenses justifying the situation of the regrettable situation.

As a reminder, the company, founded in 1997 and bought in 2018 by Oakley Capital (a group also owner of Plesk control panels and SolusVM), currently benefits from the slogan “Champions for our clients, the industry, and our employees”. In French said: “Champions for clients, the sector and our employees”. She has not yet added “and for our investors”!!

cPanel revendique plus of 70 million domains of Lancaster to serve serve cPanel and WHM dans plus of 73 pays.

cPanel price comparisons:

Dance that was table, I wanted to explain the impact of cPanel prices for hosts, and therefore for customers!

I took a density per server of 750 cPanel accounts (although with the old license remember that it was unlimited). And he played on a higher density, computable density can really vary and make the cost greatly increased the% of the price increase.
At 750 centimeters, cPanel is also available for sharing mutual funds. It is based on the price of a VPS license (but in 2018 no host used cPanel in the dedicated version) and converted the prices from dollars to euros.

In this example, I voluntarily based myself on the lower price announced by cPanel, namely $0.10 / month / cPanel account! (for the whole buy over 1,780 cPanel accounts!!)

Here is what this actually gives:

So in my example a host who hosts 375,000 websites on 500 servers used to pay €6,000/month. Now he will pay €37,500/month.. This will definitely have an impact!

It is a plus, which is a passport for licensed appendixes, type sauvegardes modules, cloudlinux, sitebuilder …

What impact does the cPanel price increase have on ?

For the impact will remain minimal , for several reasons:

• cPanel web hosting represents less than 4% of our market.
• We have made our servers less dense than the average, so we already had licensing studies.
• We have our own panel in direct competition “ PANEL ”. We are therefore not 100% dependent on cPanel.
• We master the technology 100%. We are not resellers. We have a heavy technical team that could transfer our cPanel hosting to Panel and others easily and quickly.

What alternatives are there to cPanel?

It’s quite small to be honest, because the most serious solution is the PLESK panel . But as mentioned earlier in the article, it now belongs to the same group! It is a change of force that changes the way of de facto to pass as cPanel and the main ones.

Ensuite, il y a DirectAdmin plus connue des alternatives directes à cPanel. What panel is excellent mais beaucoup moins connu. It is not surprising that the quote is quite superficial, and that it is a good idea to have a rapport with cPanel, which is a step away from the ergonomics.

There is ISPmanager , the panel shall be provided with a bureaucracy under the terms of the Regulation. But for my taste, it is not super intuitive and ergonomic.

In addition, the panel of the “Panel” has not been commercially available for the auth orities. It is based on a cluster model, and it has a voulus volontairement plus simple que cPanel donc avec moins de fonctionnalités.

Il y and des panneaux de contrôle open source type ISPConfig, Centos Webpanel , webmin ; you will be able to use the census of cPanel and sans support.

Will abandon cPanel?

Clairement NON, car selon moi, cPanel is loin at Rolls des panneaux de contrôle web en moment. The passer of the cPanel serait proposer is a quality service provider for clients (which can be found on a panel of experts). Voyez them compare web hosting cPanel and a web site  panel.

A web hosting with cPanel is not a valid way of reapplying for different reasons: the cPanel user experience is quite unique (it ideally meets web agencies, web developers, multi-site web hosting needs) and currently, apart from Plesk, is thought that no other panel is up to the task of responding to this type of need.

Plus, cPanel is known, many of existing documents. Asking customers to change their habits would be really painful for them.

The advantage of cPanel also lies in all the modules available and compatible with it’s. For now, it is redesigned, there is another panel that can do the same, it’s Plesk!

It’s also a good changer for Plesk, but it’s not a good idea to have a chance to go for it, because it’s a fast way to get the most out of the economy, plus it’s profitable for the world of the world!

Conclusion on the impact of the cPanel Prize:

Ethically we can say that it is very very average to impose such a price overnight and even unacceptable as many would say! This webcam has a web browser and an external adapter for quick and easy business models.

As a result of the questionnaire, the 100% wholly owned web controllers, and a loser, the world leader on the monopoly, which is the sole addressee of the hierbergeur web de leurs décisions. Heureusement on what a coup, which is not a step in the web of .

BUT cPanel has worked a lot to get there. Little by little they became competitors, they had no partnerships to integrate com modules into installers, sitebuilder, cloudflare and other cdns.. In the end cPanel and Plesk are part of the same group… it’s is very very raspberry cell. Many hosts are 100% dependent on Plesk or cPanel, so they will have no alternative in the short term. Increasing by changing the billing model is an excellent idea to make the business profitable. In my opinion, Oakley Capital (the group that owns Plesk and cPanel) simply made the coup of the century!! This is a great way for you to go with your friends and family, and you have the opportunity to have a website with Godaddy, BlueHost,  (on a regular basis, on a step-by-step basis plus a world! who is not a site of the who is my employer !!!!) … They have a moment of Oakley Capital to have a stake in the ParPanel spoke of 50 million step plus (small amount in this sector of activity). There are many new licensing models that can be used to make sure that they are profitable. Personally is a great passion for the strategy and the excellence of the team, and it is not a problem for the risk of the many hosts who have been working on the moorings of the future. Unfortunately, those who will be penalized in these cases are the end customers using cPanel because it will have fundamental and repercussions on them in the medium term.

Mais entre nous est-ce and déraisonnable of payer 0.1 $ / mois pour un panneau de contrôle ?? Over the past few years, the site has grown to a number of planters. The queue on the queue of the customer service is based on the customer service, which is shared with other users, with the help of … cPanel profitera à la monde (for clients and for web browsers with cPanel est quand même super simple and a gain of temps énorme).

Don`t step by panic at LuhoSter… and with a chance cPanel may reconsider its decision or adapt the prices a little for web hosts to make a less brutal transition.
