An investment firm does not listen.
check cpanel twitter and facebook page
They should if they dont wont their invest go to waste
Remember, they have to lose more than 50% of their customer base to make this a loss for them.

CPanel has created a survey about new prices:
Found it, thanks.
Indeed, they purchased out CPanel and Plesk for a reason. They want a quicker return.
I don't see CPanel losing half of its client.
well they should care, they reacting slow, they trying to get new customers not losing the current ones and not get new ones, so at this rate in 1-2 years they will start dying slowly and get less updates and people will think about other solutions for their clients and etc, multi reports to eu and na, multi negative reviews, multi angry providers and clients, so they have to act or they get cut off
Right. It's still a huge gain for them.

They’ll lose more than 50%, it might not happen straight away, but give it a year or so and the ship will sink.
CPanel will still die though.
This reminds of Vbulletin takeover. An investfirm takes over Vbulletin and they slowly killed it.
By time, it's dead though, I am sure they got their money back and then some. That's what investment firms do.
I still don't think that'll happen. Even on BuyShared, I think some people will just stay on cPanel and eat the added cost just to save the headache of moving.
Some will move once we roll to DirectAdmin, but unless we start offering free migration services, most will eat it.

This
cPanel Twitter Account :
I think Webmin has this feature.
We are also working on this feature: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/158603/in-progress-we-are-building-a-new-webserver-control-panel
CPanel will pretend that they care. Well, their staffs may actually care but their overloads won't.

I used ISPConfig maybe 10 years ago, and it was pretty good even back then. Glad to see it's still around today.
I ❤️ Webmin/Virtualmin. Maybe not ideal for a shared hosting provider. But a great alternative for anyone else.
DA support clustered DNS. It's built in in the multi-server setup.

Great for personal server or alternative solution is SSH
Additional licenses required, as we do have at this moment the following setup: DNS servers are separated to shared and prefer such way.
Bye bye cPanel. I'm leaving you for someone else!
i think the best job is now closing our hosting company and get cPanel Partner NOC , you can sell licenses to people like this :
Dedicated Server : 40$ + Each account above 100 : 0.15 Dolar ( below cpanel store )
so you can earn 56$ for a server with 1000 account in month without any job
what about Buycpanel and licenspal ? they want do cpanel job too ?
I hope you have mentioned the reason why you did cancelled the license?
Connect it to your cPanel DNS only cluster, I'll try and get the good version finished by tomorrow:
http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=58085
Yeah, I did write that It was cancelled because of the new pricing structure. I bought the license from a reseller though, and I'm not really sure that anyone at cPanel would care that a small customer like me don't like their new policy.
I see it more as a statement, something like; Don't triple your prices overnight you morons, you'll loose clients. If lots of people do the same maybe they would rethink their strategy.. or maybe not.
Man has balls, well done Sir!
Well then you make it clear and say there is no control panel that offer free dns cluster....

I think the initial impact will be manageable for them, I think it literally guarantees stunted growth for the future though.
Smaller customer base means less needs for employees means lower payroll means more profits as well.
Yeah, but it also means growth slowdown to the point of going backwards, then you loose market recognition in 5 years when everyone is using something else, but tbh I guess they can always sell it then when they finished pumping it and the new owner will restore the old license prices and it will explode again.
