cPanel Servers

cPanel servers, licence included

A private server with the cPanel licence bundled into the price, WHM set up before you receive the login, and the tier named on every plan. Nothing appears on your bill that was not on the card.

Named after the licence you get

cPanel charges by how many accounts a server holds, so each plan is matched to a licence tier rather than making you work out which one you need. The licence is in the price.

Which licence tier do you actually need?

cPanel charges by how many accounts a server holds, so the tier is the price. Choose the number you need and we will point at the tier that covers it, not the one above.

cPanel accounts you need

A few clients, or your own projects split into separate accounts so a compromise in one cannot reach the others.

Order this tier

These are starting points, not limits. A cached brochure site and a logged-in store behave nothing alike on identical hardware, so ask us if you are between two sizes. Moving up later is a reboot rather than a rebuild, and unused time is credited.

6 locations, in 4 countries.

Distance is latency, and latency is the part of speed that caching cannot fix. Every size is available everywhere we run, and you choose the location during checkout.

Germany

Nuremberg
Falkenstein

The default for a Pakistani audience. Europe sits on the shortest cable path from the Gulf, and the two German sites run on separate power and network, so a pair of servers here will not fail together.

Not sure which to pick? Tell us where your visitors are and we will say. If you choose wrong, moving a server between locations is a migration we handle free.

Licensing, explained

Why a cPanel server costs what it costs.

The licence is the part of the bill that surprises people, and the reason is a change cPanel made years ago that most hosting pages still do not mention.

Before 2019
One licence, one price
A cPanel licence cost the same whether a server held one account or four hundred. Hosts quoted a server price and the licence disappeared inside it, because it never moved.
2019
Pricing moves to account tiers
cPanel replaced the flat licence with tiers based on how many accounts a server holds. Overnight, the same server could cost very different amounts depending on what you put on it.
Most Januaries since
The fee goes up again
Increases have arrived most years. Every host absorbs some of it and passes on the rest, and there is no version of this where the cost simply stays still.
What it means for you
The tier is the price
Which is why it is printed on every plan card here. If the tier is not named, the number beside it is not a price you can plan around.

Bundled, not billed separately: The licence for your tier sits inside the plan price. No second line item at checkout or on any renewal.
Crossing a threshold: If your account count passes your tier we tell you before the next invoice and quote the difference. Nothing is applied silently.
Past the largest tier: Accounts beyond a hundred carry a per-account fee. We pass that on at what cPanel charges us rather than marking it up.

Before you order

Licensing and setup questions people ask before moving to a cPanel server of their own.

Included. The figure on the plan card covers the server and the licence tier named on it. There is no second line item on your first invoice or on any renewal. If your account count grows past your tier we tell you before the next bill and quote the difference rather than applying it silently.
It depends only on how many cPanel accounts the server will hold. One account is Solo, up to five is Admin, up to thirty is Pro, and Premier covers a hundred with a per-account fee beyond that. If you are unsure, tell us roughly how many clients you expect this year and we will point you at the right tier, often a smaller one than people assume.
It did not always. Until 2019 a licence cost the same whatever the server held. cPanel then moved to per-account tiers, and the fee has risen most Januaries since. It is an industry-wide cost that every honest host is absorbing or passing on, and we would rather explain it than pretend it does not exist.
These servers are built by hand rather than deployed automatically, because the licence has to be issued and WHM configured before the login is any use to you. In practice that means the same working day, and usually within a few hours. You will get an email the moment it is ready.
Both. WHM for the day-to-day account management, and full root over SSH for everything else. Installing software, editing configs and running your own cron jobs are all yours to do.
Yes, free of charge. Account-to-account transfers between cPanel servers are well supported, so files, databases, email and DNS zones move across intact. We stage the copy, test it and only change DNS once you have approved.
That is what WHM is for. Create packages, provision accounts, set per-account limits, and hand each client a cPanel login on your own nameservers. WHMCS provisioning is supported if you want it automated and billed.
Nameservers, the WHM initial setup, a default hosting package, CloudLinux limits, CSF firewall rules tuned for cPanel, Exim and Dovecot with sane rate limits, automatic SPF and DKIM, and a verified backup schedule to remote storage. You receive a working server rather than a checklist.
Whatever is printed on the plan. Annual terms show the term rate and the renewal rate together, and monthly terms carry no introductory discount. If cPanel raises its licensing again we absorb what we reasonably can and give notice well ahead when we cannot.

Sizing a server is easier with someone who has done it before. Tell us what you are running and we will suggest a size — including a smaller one, if that is the honest answer.
