cPanel price increase

[Matt]

The real reason this happened, (which they aren't going to tell you) is that they were acquired by a hosting industry consolidator, about a year back. The same people that own Plesk. I am sure their investors want a return on their investment and they are putting the squeeze on all of cPanel's customer base to try and get it. I don't think they foresaw so many hosts wanting to dump them, and they definitely did not consider all business models that rely upon their panel. Many hosts will be closing their doors, primarily the ones that offer hosting for a dollar, which is fine by me as they are bad for the industry and is bad for the customers.

While yes, there may be a slight price increase, we're going to keep it minimal. The people most affected by this are going to be resellers because they will now be required to have account limits, but I think the plans we are working on are going to be pretty sweet for most people, given the circumstances.
