The end is nigh.
Why not a better start and opportunities to other panels.
There will be many changes when the Summer of 2019 ends.
Makes no difference where we are, my point remains.
Sure on LET providers sell for next to nothing, but that is their problem to deal with.
Meanwhile on IE 7:
what is flexbox sir
IE uses chromium now.
@Jorbox IE != Edge
Syntax error. Mac user found 😅
I use a Mac as well.
Side note: Edge for Mac is a heaping pile of garbage. Safari > Chrome
Plesk is not an option either?
Oakley own both of them so I see no point as the same thing will likely happen.
Can you post a side by side comparision on specs about those two panels and what DA is lacking regarding CP? That would be very useful.
I do not really have the time to do that in any meaningful detail, we are talking about hundreds and hundreds of differences.
I made that point here though with screenshots:

If people are really interested both DA and cPanel offer trial licenses, it will only take you a few hours of use to be able to see the differences first hand.
Can someone give a quick explanation of DA pricing? I asked about this before and may have missed a response someplace but I don't see one. It says $299 for a lifetime unlimited domains license. What I can't tell is how many such licenses a typical LET hosting provider would need: if you have 20 shared hosting nodes, do you need a separate license for each node, or is it 1 license per provider? That makes a big difference. Thanks.
Yes, one licence per IP.
why so much fuss over cpanel
who would like to loose their customers
if one changes from cpanel to some other panel, would be welcomed
by the way, if you provide reseller hosting, shared hosting, and say you cannot afford $2.40 per year for the license, i feel you should not be in the hosting industry
more over, when there is no much support for openvz6.0, i do not see any such thread related to openvz providers
just wish to know why this is not ammended in the "Rules for selling on LowEndTalk" https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/153228/rules-for-selling-on-lowendtalk-updated-may-2019#latest
may be any change on selling is to be done should be reflected in the "Rules for selling on LowEndTalk"
i might seem crazy, but this kind of thread did not even appear when whmcs changed its pricing plan, where some small hosts and summer providers did perish or changed to other billing-automation
i might bashed over here, but, not sure why at all we are giving much importance to cpanel crap?
well i believe earlier also we used to get 1 license per ip, hoping the 1 ip is the main ip from where you access the node/server/vps
in case you have many other ips added to the same server, as to provide dedicated ip, or other shared ips, it goes with single license
you only need a second license, in case you install it elsewhere
What? I have the $5/y BuyShared cpanel plan and it works great. It appears to be a sustainable product with the old licensing scheme. With $2.40/y going to cpanel it would become unsustainable right away. And of course there is even cheaper shared hosting out there, though I don't know how much of it uses cpanel. I also have a $5/y mxroute plan and that's not using a fraction of cpanel's features. Jar's paying half the revenue from that plan to cpanel would be just plain silly.
I've been a FOSS activist since forever so I never understand why the low end segment keeps falling for the same stunts. To really keep costs low, you have to use free everything and when necessary, share some effort to smooth out rough edges in the software.
Yeah, one licence per IP, the IP is for the node. Just like cPanel.
Thanks, I'm still a little confused by this: I know BuyVM offers free DA to its VPS users. Does that mean they can have DA running on a single node with 1 IP, with that DA controlling the VPS on all the remote nodes? Or do they need a separate DA on each user node? Each VPS of course has its own IP. Their shared hosting plans also have dedicated IP's, though that is not customary for cheap shared hosting from other providers.
Is DA a significant resource burden? If a single instance can control multiple nodes then running it on a big enough server (those are getting cheap now) could let it run a pretty big installation.
so may be increase the price to $7.40 per year
One license per server.
DA runs on a 512MB VPS just fine once the installer is done.
It's very resource friendly.

BuyShared used CloudLinux (a paid product), LiteSpeed Web Server (a paid product), cPanel (a paid product). Clearly Francisco thinks using those paid options is better than the free alternatives and he knows things.
Remember, for a reseller you get charged for the reseller, and all of their sub users.
If that $2/month reseller has 20 sub accounts, you're spending $1 - $2/month in licensing alone.
Francisco
if one targets like ebay selling with those mega-super-alpha-master-reseller cpanel accounts with unlimited disk/bandwidth/accounts/etc, then you are doomed
You're absolutely correct. We didn't offer those though, we just sold basic resellers.
Francisco
Yeah when that $ 29/year alpha reseller turns into a $ 290 bill the first month one isn't going to be so upbeat...

It sounds to me like cpanel is biting them in the butt right now. Litespeed has cpanel-like unlimited domain pricing so it is maybe a manageable cost, though we'll see if that lasts. But, I still don't understand what it does that's so great, that couldn't be fairly straightforwardly replicated in some other httpd these days. I mean, reading apache config files, big whoop. And if they can change their pricing with no notice like cpanel did, that means they basically own your business if you use their product. I don't know the story of cloudlinux or how it could not be a GPL infringement so ok, maybe you are onto something with that one.
every one saying every things but not pressing on amending the selling rules
shouldn't that be amended 1st than other threads be floated
