Upcoming cPanel Price Updates in 2022
As you may have heard, cPanel recently announced a universal price increase to their licenses for all partners, distributors, and cPanel store customers. To view cPanel’s new standardized pricing, please see here. These upcoming changes directly impact every hosting provider, including HostforWeb. This blog post will break down how this price increase from cPanel will affect HostforWeb hosting customers with cPanel accounts starting January 15, 2022.
Shared Hosting
For current Shared hosting plans (Mini, Smart Plan, and Business Pro) and older Shared hosting plans, the purchase and renewal prices will increase by $1.00.
Reseller Hosting
For our current Reseller hosting plans (HFW-0, HFW-1, HFW-2, HFW-3, and HFW-4) and our older Reseller plans, we will have additional increases as follows:
| Reseller Plan | Old Price | New Price |
| HFW-0 | $24.95 | $26.95 |
