As you consider the software you use to run your hosting business, you’re probably thinking “my billing panel and web hosting control panel are delivering so much more value for me this year than they were last year at this time.”
Oakley Capital agrees with you! That’s why they’re raising prices on WHMCS and cPanel again.
Costly Panel (aka cPanel) is going up by about 10%. So if you were paying $32.99 for an Admin license or $46.99 for a Pro license, you’ll be paying $35.99 and $53.99 respectively. At least until the 2027 price hike.
Meanwhile, WHMCS (which stands for We Hike More Costs Soon) is going up as well. From $39.95 or $44.95 to #34.95 and $54.95 for the lowest price tiers.
I’m sure business owners and users are seeing 10% more value…right?!?
