Everything about shared control-panel licenses: what a shared license is, how it differs from buying direct, how cPanel, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux and WHMCS licensing works, and how to install one on your own VPS or dedicated server. Licensing is the cost most people forget when they move off shared hosting — a control panel, a caching web server and a billing system can together cost more each month than the server itself. These articles explain what you are actually buying, which licenses a given setup needs, and where the money goes.
Shared licensing is also the part of the market with the least written about it. Search for "cPanel alternatives" and you will find a hundred articles; search for how shared licensing actually works, whether it is legitimate, or what happens when you change your server IP, and there is almost nothing. These articles are our attempt to fix that, because it is the question our customers ask most and the one the rest of the industry is quietest about.
Prices in these articles are in US dollars, and the licenses they describe ship to servers anywhere we can reach — the same seventeen products wherever the machine sits. Where a guide mentions paying, card and bank transfer both work.
If what you are looking for is not here, our team answers questions by ticket and live chat around the clock — including the ones that are really about whether you need to buy anything at all. We would rather tell you a cheaper plan covers it than sell you something you will cancel in a month.
Everything we publish is written by the people who administer the servers, so it reflects what we actually do rather than what reads well. Where something depends on your setup, we say so instead of giving an answer that only holds in one case.
