It’s not only managing the VPS you have to factor in licence costs, maintenance, updates, etc as well as time so even if you are paying $10 a month on a reseller it will still be cheaper than running your own VPS.
VPS does not need more work. It does what it should. It is people that need to learn to understand them, and if the people can't learn, they need to spend money for other people that already do the learning
Yep, exactly. Start adding in the extras that are pretty standard on shared/reseller accounts nowadays and it gets expensive really quick. Add CloudLinux, LiteSpeed, Softaculous, etc and your VPS just tripled in price.
Good luck with your budget
cPanel's licensing move is dumb as heck. If you want more profits, just sell extensions and add-ons. There are tons of "premium features" that webhosts would love to activate with one click.
Backup
CDN
Image optimization
Staging
Migration tool for WPE/Kinsta/Flywheel/etc
Custom themes! (seriously underestimated market potential here)
Uptime reporting
Hack clean-up
DDOS protection?
Right, VPS are NOT for Resellers who are not into server-management. We rather spend our time on designing websites & marketing for our clients and let the host do the entire server-security, patches, updates, monitoring thing! Plus adding all those CL, LS, Softaculous, etc. will make a $7 VPS into a $35-$40 VPS! So VPS not only increases the headache but the costs too!! I'll rather find reseller provider than a VPS provider to host my client's sites!
Even more... Gets certainly expensive. Switching providers is always possible just make sure to run your own backups.
The only complaint I have with BuyShared, is I can't get similar service from another host with the same pricing.
Sitegroud is dropping cPanel - no more new orders with it

(it is not for spanel as the initial misunderstanding was ) It is internaly developed (as I told you in my previous post they just confirmed it)
P.S Based on what devs they hired last year parts of it (maybe large) are written to Assembler
@HostMantis is $36.30/year including 10 accounts.
Also consider server location. But I may be a little too fixated on that.
Don't really care about server location personally unless it's located in poorly lit area.
I am unable to tell the difference between 100ms and 101ms which some here claim they can tell the difference.
We're not evolved enough to tell the difference.
is LET dead forum now ?
while same wht thread now 50 pages, this is less than 25 , shame on you guys !!
except " end is neigh " guy and mike ET , most people are dead here
Well there is the DA feedback and improvement thread, 9 pages, here. Instead of just venting, things are getting accomplished here.
The reason for that is because the WHT hosts are shitting it more than people here, I doubt if some of them even know cPanel is run on Linux.
.. Others are beavering away exploring alternatives.
Wht talks too much
Well, the difference is 1ms. I'd hope all of us here could tell you the difference.

Seriously, the difference between an 18ms, 45m, and 78ms average latency to the datacenter can easily be observed when your home connection is good enough, over a look enough time. IF all other things are equal when choosing your provider, it's crazy not to go with the lowest latency Datacenter. I can't believe when people opt to go for foreign continent provider unless they required it.
well previously in such hot topics, LET used to have two or more times pages than single wht
Plesk may not be planning any changes, but then it's not their decision. Besides, they are hardly going to say 'yeah, we are mulling over a pricing change to shaft you in the same way cPanel did'. Not yet anyway.
I am sure that CPanel devs were not initially thought of this price structure. But when the executives enter the game and saw the potentials, then, they did what they was told to do.
I guess Plesk will not follow the same route very soon. But they will, just when it starts to gain popularity.
In any case, those "individual team" and the "100% commitment" are BS. They do not run the company, Oakley runs it...
They will do whatever maximizes cash flow for oaakley , all these messages and letters are pure BS
This is a " Greedy " from cPanel and we must use another alternative, I think if people used to use directadmin for along time you will find many developments from all people using it like what we did with cpanel.
And directadmin should reduce the price for many people too.
SEO, showing off your sig?
Okay?
LOL.
I wanted to say in their main website the prices is still high but i can see many companies are selling these licenses at $5/Mo
Internal licenses
