cPanel license price updates
You may be aware that cPanel adjusts its prices every year, and this includes standardized pricing changes to its licenses for all partners, distributors, and cPanel store customers. It follows that price increases impact hosting providers like Namecheap, and we also need to adjust our pricing accordingly.
Since cPanel now charges separately for cPanel accounts, customers get billed under a tiered-pricing structure (more on that below). At Namecheap, we understand how the new pricing may impact your business, so we’ve done everything possible to minimize the price increase for your hosting plan with us.
Since these changes will affect Namecheap Hosting customers with cPanel accounts, here’s a quick rundown on what to expect.
Shared and Reseller Hosting
Our Shared and Reseller Hosting plans are not affected by the cPanel price changes. Although cPanel price increases also impact these hosting plans, we allow our customers to maintain their current pricing.
VPS and Dedicated Server Hosting
Currently, our VPS and Dedicated Server customers pay an additional fee for each cPanel account they have. We will change the prices for our cPanel tiers in December 2022.
As you will notice in the following tables, the pricing for Solo, cPanel’s lowest tier, is not affected by the changes. So if you are looking to make savings and you don’t have the need for multiple accounts, Solo is the one to go for.
VPS:
| Tier | cPanel Account Limit | Old Price | New Price |
| Solo | 1 account | $9.88/month | $9.88/month |
| Tier 1 | up to 5 accounts | $13.88/month | $14.88/month |
| Tier 2 | up to 30 accounts | $18.88/month | $20.88/month |
| Tier 3 | up to 100 accounts | $35.88/month | $39.88/month |
Dedicated Servers:
| Tier | cPanel Account Limit | Old Price | New Price |
| Solo | 1 account | $14.88/month | $14.88/month |
| Tier 1 | up to 100 accounts | $35.88/month | $39.88/month |
| Tier 2 | up to 150 accounts | $45.88/month | $49.88/month |
| Tier 3 | up to 200 accounts | $55.88/month | $61.88/month |
| Tier 4 | up to 250 accounts | $64.88/month | $71.88/month |
If you’re a Namecheap VPS or Dedicated Hosting customer, now’s your chance to check out InterWorx, the alternative control panel to cPanel. Unlike cPanel, InterWorx does not have any account limits. Prices are fixed at $12.00 per month for VPS customers and $18.00 per month for Dedicated Server customers.
