that reason for price increase is reserved for pms.
Certainly remember those good earlier days. Alabanza control panel was popular back then and cPanel was make its entry into the Hosting industry. Shawn you were at one point working on your own version of cPanel spin-off called webpanel if I remember correctly. Whatever happened to that? Though I am no longer part of the Hosting Industry any longer but kept up due to personal hobby.
This is always the reason. Energy and sanctions are the best and most comfortable excuse to apply nowadays to everything.
For some weird and unknown reason, cPanel did not go this route. I find this extremely weird, but also it somewhat makes sense if they wish to increase pricing every year, with or without energy increase, with or without worldwide conflicts.
Maybe they just don't care about consumers, providers, or what happens in the world at the moment.
uhmm yeah that is not even a price increase. With the exception of the discontinuation of the personal, the rest is pretty much untouched. Some providers have secured internal licenses so that it remains free for their customers.
You can run a server with 100000000 accounts and it doesn't bill you by account. You just pay $29/mo. (and that's standard licensing)
I guess they are big enough. They just dont care and want to melk the cash cow. Are there seriously other panels? DA is going the same way..
That was VDI in New Jersey, when they split with Nick and retained rights/copy of CPanel original code. After that Nick came to work with me in Pennsylvania.

We need something open-source.
Gotcha! yes certainly remember VDI.
I don't care anymore.
Pay $10/year to some shared hoster? Grandma and grandpa shouldn't have ever had cpanel license, ever.
I'm told millions of dollars can help one sleep nicely.
And that's partner pricing... non-partner pricing:
For the smaller providers without partner pricing and/or 100 or less accounts per server, it's now cheaper to use Plesk. Though, who knows what Oakley is doing with Plesk. They seem to be in their own world away from the WHMCS & cPanel price gouging.
The price increase has been very frequent recently... I prefer other control panels over them.
so how much % increase from current to new pricing?
This was to be expected ))))
