    addons are developed for what is needed and from what they can earn something, if many people moves to DA, then they are going to lose clients. so they will create one for DA.

  • there is also another options:

    The beauty of this fiasco is that it's effective immediately.

    Hosts gotta act fast or get charged with a stupid amount.

    Some people do even consider switching to Plesk....
    Give it a few weeks and Plesk will increase also.

    So will DA if they see an opportunity due to the influx of new customers.

    Plesk is under the same company.

    If they see mass migrations From CP to P, they will simply apply the same pricing to Plesk.

    How DA will react could be interesting. They could remain as is but this is a massive business opportunity.

    Never liked how Plesk split the file structures for SSL and non-SSL, unless that was a provider (poorly) implemented thing.

    Initially unchanged, they will wait if smart until they have enough tied in tightly that won't want to force customers through another change of panel.

    But then it's risking the same cycle over again, pricing to fail, eventually.

  • In the short time that I've used CWP Pro in a live environment (used for a year prior to this), I've come across some really fundamental flaws. One was addressed recently, the other has had no response for far. Be very cautious, is my advice.
    (On the other hand I did migrate one site over to a different VPS with absolutely no issue.)

    let me find it bro.

    funny pictures also posted

  • AlwaysSkint said: Never liked how Plesk

    plesk is really slow.

    worked good so far, there is a module to transfer from cpanel servers, and you can pay a small amount so they can develop custom modules.

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    I am using Plesk on one of OVH VPS since it comes for free.

    Yes, Plesk is fucking slow but gets the job done.

    @AlejandroM We've disabled invites to the Discord server for the time being, as it's understandably a bit busy in here at the moment. We'll open them back up soon.

    @cPanelPhilH that seems pretty crappy to be honest. So much for transparency?

    Lampard1111Today at 2:49 PM
    @cPanelPhilH thats not fair from such a big company like cPanel. Closing invites because of your new pricing?

    We have Customers that will go from $35 / mo to $1k+ / mo, this is not going to go down well.

    Did anyone get an email, I get my licences direct from cPanel, and had nothing that I can see.

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    Yay, @Cider joins in.

    WebProject said: DA is looks better and simpler, but majority of add-ons developed for cPanel only, example: jet backup

    The impact of this is going to hurt people that develop exclusively for cpanel so I hope they start making their products none exclusive.

    But that takes time, Ant.

    Time which some hosts don't simply have at the moment.

    For what its worth to anyone, cough @jar cough you can currently NAT as many WHM/cPanel servers as you want behind a single IP, it gets a little tricky if you want to do it at scale but not that hard, you just need haproxy on the front end redirecting based on domain.

    Usually I would not condone this but frankly... fuck cPanel.

    I know this works because 1 person bought a cPanel license for the lowendspirit NAT KVM's when that was a thing and suddenly everyone had licensed cPanel on the node for about 6 months until the person paying for it cancelled.

    I am not sure how exactly they will be able to count accounts but no doubt this will be simple to fudge for those that have been screwed with little to no notice.
