The next round of cPanel price hikes is coming

For the seventh year in a row, the owners of cPanel are raising the prices of cPanel licenses. Reluctantly, we will pass higher prices on.

If you pay us directly for cPanel licenses, your new prices are listed below. There's no change to packages that include cPanel access, like Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting, or Email Hosting packages.

New cPanel license prices for 2026

This course was set last decade

It was 2019 when cPanel, under new private equity ownership, switched from per-server to per-account pricing. Annual rounds of prices increases (including last year, the year before, and the year before that) have happened ever since. We do not expect them to end any time soon.

The fact is that cPanel is familiar, reliable, and not easy to replace. That puts market power in the hands of Web Pros, who supply cPanel to a large proportion of the world's web hosting industry.

Time to explore other options?

If seven rounds of price hikes are enough to have you asking whether cPanel is still your best option, we understand. There will be other options to consider, with the best answer depending on the number of sites or accounts you manage, and how users access their hosting or servers. We're always happy to talk through possible paths off cPanel. Get in touch when you're ready.
