Input Enormous price increases yet again for 2025

I also could never understand such an irrational dependence and obsession with this topic. It seems like it's something personal or, even worse.
@HHawk admit it already, is that true?

I think Plesk is raising its rates because it knows the future of the web is AI and that websites of the future will be food for AI answer engines, which won't need hosting control panels and sophisticated websites that never get visited. I can see GeoCities making a comeback, supported by Big Tech and free for everyone to publish to.

@J.Wick though that might be true, Plesk pricing increased 7 or 8 years ago already substatianlly, I think I created a post about it back then as well as we had price increase of 2400% back then. Might be even a year before that though. Anyways, back on topic, the price increases happened before AI becoming so promoted. But still, what you say, can still be true. And therefor Plesk is increasing their prices every year from here on.

GeoCities... Good old time. I think I created my first "website" back then. I used it for several websites, however stopped using it because of more and more advertisment banners. Anyways, that is quite some time ago.

//edit
Looked GeoCities up:
GeoCities websites existed from 1994 to 2009, with the service being shut down by Yahoo!. It was a popular web hosting service from the mid-1990s to the late 2000s that allowed users to create their own free webpages, capturing the aesthetic of the 1990s internet with its unique graphics and style.

1994.... Wow.

I fully agree with

They are rants against the panel only. What's the point of this? If you don't want to use the panel, don't use it. But you are constantly trying to convince others that they should not use it either.

but I would like to hint - with all due respect - that the other parts of your post are related to something that we should not give into : polarization.

This whole topic thread has become - more and more - a battle between two camps that cannot convince each other, with polarization as the endresult.

This endresult is not desirable, not at all.

Plesk pricing is highly related to (opportunistic and irrational) investor behavior - what is not, nowadays?

Plesk Team is not related at all to investment firms or management of investment firms - Plesk Team should not get the full load of disgruntlement.

Plesk users cannot solve the issue by switching back and forth to alternatives - the same issues will occur when using the alternatives.

Plesk users can only solve part of the problem by making distinctions between the various issues and the root causes of those issues - this is not happening!

Plesk users can only solve part of the problem by being unified - this certainly is not happening ........... to my regret.

In my humble opinion, this is "game theory" where parties are working towards a Nash equilibrium that is suboptimal for all parties involved.

Kind regards.....
