For years cPanel has played the leading role among hosting management panels, perhaps also thanks to the very simple pricing policy: a single annual price for physical server or VPS which includes unlimited accounts
The new pricing instead moves towards a model based on the number of accounts, instead of the number of servers, with monthly and no longer annual billing with the aim of "simplifying the management of the relationship with cPanel and increasing transparency", these are the words of the company
The new panel licensing plans also include up to a maximum of 100 accounts, applying an additional unit price of $0.20 for each account exceeding the 100 included
Let's examine a concrete example:
A reseller or low-cost hosting provider with 1000 sites on a single Virtual Machine with the old cPanel price paid $11/month. With the new pricing the cPanel license cost for that VM will rise to $122/month.
In light of cPanel's new pricing policy, many hosting providers around the world have already announced that they are considering price changes for their services or their intention to adopt different control panels such as Plesk or DirectAdmin.
However, it must be remembered that cPanel and Plesk have been owned by the same investor since 2018: Oakley Capital. In August last year, cPanel had reassured its users that there would be no negative effects from the acquisition, avoiding the hypothesis of a "merge" between the most famous hosting management panels in the world.
And Plesk, acquired by Oakley in May 2017, also underwent a round of price increases between July and October of that year.
Furthermore, Oakley through WebPros also acquired WHMCS in June 2019, the billing automation, invoicing and payments platform that can be integrated with cPanel, Plesk and other panels.

Host also specializes in migration from cPanel to DirectAdmin and from Plesk to DirectAdmin, and migration from your current provider to Host is in all shared and cloud hosting profiles.
