You need another server.

LICK OBEY PAY

Why, can you explain?

Thanks.

I wonder how many have switched. To not have an unlimited license is just silly.

 

[lewis-teck]

I wonder that too, what's more silly is the little notice, the extent of the changes, and how Oakley Capital has taken over CloudLinux, Plesk and BuycPanel. What's next, DirectAdmin?

CORRECTION:

I was meant to say they own SolusVM and are believed to have a significant stake in CloudLinux. BuycPanel kept Softaculous but pushed out other software like WHMExtra so wouldn't be surprised if they own or are going to own that either

Oakley Capital has taken over CloudLinux

Can you provide a link to the CloudLinux take over please?

Apologies, I misspoke. I was meant to say they own SolusVM and are believed to have a significant stake in CloudLinux. BuycPanel kept Softaculous but pushed out other software like WHMExtra so wouldn't be surprised if they own or are going to own that either

2019 does not want to end. WebPros is for sale. Who will be the new owner? I'm really curious who gets the contract.

It gets better. WebPros has already sold and the new owners are CVC, a group previously convicted of "breaking competition rules through price fixing."

Haha.. this was far too predictable. As everyone in this thread speculated would happen, Oakley dramatically raised cPanel prices to increase valuation, and cashed out before cPanel starts hemorrhaging customers.

This was a cash grab plain and simple, and Oakley knows when to get out of a sinking ship.

Of course!! Everyone saw this coming, except apparently the cPanel employees. Would love to see what they have to say about it now.

I have to migrate to ispmanager or directadmin.
Cpanel is so expensive!
