At DataPacket, we’re committed to providing reliable, high-quality hosting at affordable prices. For many years, we offered both shared and reseller hosting plans that included cPanel, a control panel that many users know and trust. However, due to significant changes in cPanel’s licensing structure, we made the decision to discontinue offering hosting plans with cPanel.
In 2019, cPanel changed its pricing model from a flat monthly fee to a per-account billing system. This means that hosting providers like us are now charged based on the number of cPanel accounts on a server, rather than paying one price regardless of how many accounts are created. For reseller hosting, where users often create many accounts, this change led to a sharp increase in licensing costs. Continuing to offer cPanel under these new terms would have forced us to raise prices significantly, which goes against our mission of keeping services affordable.
Rather than passing these costs on to our customers, we’ve chosen to offer a better and more affordable alternative. If you still want to use cPanel, we recommend purchasing a VPS (Virtual Private Server) from us and buying a cPanel license directly from cPanel. This option allows you to control your own licensing, pay only for what you need, and avoid the markup typically associated with bundled reseller plans.
A VPS gives you full control over your server, including root access and the ability to customize server settings and software. It also offers better performance since the resources are dedicated to you, not shared among other users. As your business grows, you can scale your VPS and adjust your cPanel license accordingly. This setup gives you more flexibility, greater reliability, and better value for your investment.
We’re happy to help you install and configure cPanel on your VPS at no additional cost. To get started, simply choose a VPS plan from our website, purchase your cPanel license directly from cPanel, and then open a support ticket with us. We’ll take care of the rest.
If you have any questions or need help choosing the right plan, our support team is always here to assist you.
