Same shit, different year.
Just received the same message. And a couple minutes later Plesk has sent a similar message. This has been a tradition.
Pricing Questions
What is the license pricing for store customers as of January 1, 2022?
The exact increase depends on the specific product. The 2022 Store Licensing Guides can be downloaded here.
Perfect :-D
What is the price now?
They are really passionate about raising prices for sure.
Admin $13.50 > $15
Pro $19 > $21
Plus $27 > $30
Premier $34.50 > $38
Over 100 accounts: $.175 > $.20
Looks like a 10% increase.
Plesk is next.
You didn't read this from here first.
What’s the price difference on current partner pricing?
Yes it's again
I'm so glad I moved away from cPanel to a homegrown panel.
That's not bad. It's on pair with inflation. I see no reason not to switch to an alternative panel though. Cpanel is shit anyways
It's 10% increase.
Paypal and cpanel are two things we should all just throw in the garbage.
Stripe checkout is a great alternative
Apiscp and their wordpress manager is even better than cpanel, (but their file manager, dashboard is garbage)
cPanel being cPanel again…
I've got rid of almost all my Cpanel hosts. I think I have 1 left. Fuck Cpanel.
10% on them too.

Still most of corporate use cPanel for first option
For consumer, cPanel is de facto standard. It is good panel. For provider it is PITA. Yet again, if you charge for 10GB shared hosting 20€/month than why the fuck not to use cPanel.
Inb4 10% on whmcs too
waiting for referral program @Matteh then I'll you can have another 750USD
In before monthly price increase.
I wonder, is that they are not making profit they anticipated for or they are just being really really sh*tty corporate those wants to please their shareholder at any cost by showing performance even if it is on cost of loosing market share.
Not sure why anyone would be surprised by this. Annual increases were clearly the way forward. It's simple really. They increase the cost of their service, you need to increase the cost of yours, eat the difference or use a different panel.
Those with the right business for cPanel will be fine, for everyone else there are plenty of choices. Well DA really.
So what's the viable alternative? Directadmin?
aa yea, got this surprise e-mail aswell. just wondering how money eager one company can be? they rise prices like twice in a year or what?
There are always cPanal and something else, I hope this will change soon…
Time to get my market share. Probably
Right... Annual increases are common in many industries so I'm not sure why it's a surprise? I agree that they overcharge, but the company would be experiencing rising costs too (salaries, property taxes, utilities like electricity and water, etc all go up year over year) and they likely want to keep at least the same margins to make investors happy.
