Please hear me out. cPanel sent email about new pricing for account tiers. I crunched numbers on server and if I read correct, my cost go from ~$15 to over $400 per month??? Help. I run small host for friend projects, maybe 50 cPanel account total. This destroy me.
I attach screenshot of pricing table. Someone tell me I am wrong. Please.
Seriously though, 50 accounts on what hardware? I'm running 200+ on dual xeon with 512gb and my cPanel license is a rounding error. If you're panicking over $400 you need to either scale up or get out of the reseller game.
My nodes at OVHcloud: 768gb, nvme raid, actual 10gig. Cost more than your car probably. Budget hosting is a trap.

I saw same email and FREAKED. Ran numbers for my InterServer nodes, was about to email everyone "we migrating sorry"
Then I re-read. The $400 thing is for PREMIUM tier with enhanced backups and priority support. Standard tier is like $45 for 100 accounts
I was wrong. Super stoked I caught it before I sent that email lmao. Always read twice folks
As far as I know, the pricing structure contains three distinct tiers. The announcement states that the entry tier covers fifty accounts at approximately forty-five dollars, with overages per additional account. The confusion in this thread appears to stem from comparing the premium tier pricing against standard usage. This is a common pattern in SaaS announcements, where the highest visible price anchors perception. Regarding GDPR implications, any migration triggered by cost would require updated data processing agreements with affected users. I do not see this angle discussed yet.
Bro I did same miscalculation.
I saw €400 and almost deleted my Contabo server
Turns out I was looking at ENTERPRISE tier for 500+ accounts. My 30 accounts cost like $35 now.
Still too much. CPanel always raising prices. Time to switch to directadmin maybe!
Hana5 which tier was that screenshot for, standard or premium
OVHcloud 768GB with actual 10gig, what's the CPU on those
