[GiRGiN]

cPanele new hikes are coming in 2021.

Cpanel price increase 2021

The second price increase comes. What has Cpanel done in the last 1 year and wants a raise from customers? Where is Centos 8 support? Do you deserve these prices? https://go.cpanel.net/store-license-guide

New price list;


Will Plesk panel prices rise ? Should I be worried about that ?

 

[HHawk]

Yes. they already anounced price increase. Sigh.
The previous (massive) price increase with Plesk was less than 3 years ago.

We are going to email our customers to give them an option to migrate for DirectAdmin (+ 1/2 year license free) as we cannot agree with the new price increase (again) by Plesk for our customers. They already "complained" last time about this.

A good thing we suspected this; our technicians created a fully working script to convert and migratie Plesk to DirectAdmin without issues. This was tested a very long time (even during Plesk updates) for the past ~7 months or so.

Enough is enough with Plesk increasing their pricing. We will lose customers because of this, but who cares? Plesk certainly does not.

We are also baffled by this latest price hike announcement by cPanel and Plesk. I don't want to go through the process of explaining to our clients why we must increase prices. We did it only a few months back, and now we should go through it again? Their timing is so poor. We have many cancellations and inquiries from clients about cost-cutting.

Since I'm not able to explain the reasoning behind this price increase and they are not getting any new functionality we have decided, in consultation with our hosting provider, to migrate one of our cPanel VPS's to DirectAdmin. We will offer our clients a choice, to stay and pay more or to move away from cPanel/Plesk and get a discount.

Question - Massive price increase for reseller licenses?

Whelp I'm coming up on my license renewal and wanted to see if anyone else has migrated yet? I simply can't afford this anymore. It was only for my own websites, not reselling or anything. Looks for opensource or cheaper options if any has any luck with alternatives!

@ip00 you might be interested in reading the original thread about their massive price increase from 2018 as well.
You can find the forum thread here. Might be good for a few laughs about Plesk price increases and how they treat partners.

 

[ip00]

@HHawk yes, I've read it. I wasn't sure where to post my reply, here or in that post, and caused a mixup for @IgorG when I deleted my post from there to put it here.

And yes....

It seems Plesk is increasing now their pricing yearly (massively). We are losing already more and more (server) customers who think Plesk is expensive already. And on that we agree. A DirectAdmin license costs (us) about 1/3 at the moment. And will become ever cheaper after Plesk increases their prices in January 2022.

Oh well. I expected this already, like many others. It's the greedy Oakley Investment Capital who does this. Same happened with WHMCS, cPanel, SolusVM and several others...

So we are paying more and more each year and not much useful stuff is being added to Plesk. No support for other Linux Distro's (see other threads). No really new stuff, but only crappy changes e.g. making the GUI totally horrible (for example "Customer Creation"). See my other post here about that.

I think it's better that we drop being a Plesk Partner all together and buy our license from a big reseller. That way the reseller gets a discount and we are cheaper off.

Yeah right... Plesk does not listen. Plesk does not care. Plesk does nothing with feedback or with our submitted features (here). The only thing Plesk is really, really, really good at, is increasing their pricing on a regular base nowadays.
