cPanel is a well known supplier of a control panel to simplify hosting and server management. For more than 20 years it has been the leading hosting automation platform and is the preferred hosting control panel sofware worldwide.
It was announced on 1st October that even in the midst of a global pandemic and only a year after the last price hike, there will be a price increase taking effect on 1st January 2021.
Why?
According to cPanel, they aim to increase product performance and develop features to generate more value for the customer. Though many argue that cPanel is using the big market share it has in the web hosting industry to enforce price hikes.
On the other hand, it‘s not all bad, considering the fact that this price increase will give a chance to other web panels, such as Direct Admin.
What‘s going to happen?
During the global pandemic, many businesses have transfered online. Obviously, the need for websites and online stores has grown massively, which resulted in an increased demand for hosting services.
With cPanel increasing their prices, most hosting service companies will have no choice but to adjust their server pricing accordingly, making the cheaper ones not so cheap anymore.

This situation is, of course, what nobody intented. We understand the impact that this cPanel pricing increase could have on your business and that this is not the fault of our users.
That’s why we are pleased to announce that Getspace will not change the prices of cPanel servers for the time being.
