cPanel unleashes price hikes on its most dense customers - cPanel lays claim to over 70 million domains launched on servers using cPanel and WHM over more than 73 countries

cPanel has dropped a bombshell on its customers with a price hike for its services that has left some running for the door marked exit.

The company, which specialises in interfaces aimed at simplifying website and server management, announced the increases (PDF) without warning, with licences purchased or renewed from now hit immediately, with monthly licences sticking with the old structure until 1 September.

Annual licences are also for the chop, and will be converted to monthly billing as they come up for renewal.

The tiers have now been renamed to Admin, Pro and Premier (at $20, $30 and $45/month respectively) but - and this is what has really enraged customers -an account limit has been applied. The top level, Premier, is limited to 100 accounts. Additional accounts will require an extra $0.20/month each.

Some providers are saying they are facing 800% increases in costs and are looking now at DirectAdmin and other services as an alternative.  This increase will likely now force many hosting providers to use alternatives.

Yeah - because hardware is better these days, we're going to need to charge you more. Much, much more...
