A cPanel store license starts at $29.99 a month for Solo, one account. Premier is $69.99 a month for up to 100 accounts. Those dollar prices were on the cPanel pricing page on 30 October 2026. WebJi® shared plans that include cPanel start at ₹300 a month before 18% GST.
What the cPanel license update changed
The cPanel license update replaced one fee per server with tiers capped by account count. Solo is one account, Admin is five, Pro is thirty and Premier is one hundred. Each account past 100 on Premier adds $0.49.
One cPanel account is one user that holds sites, files, domains and mail. A WHM reseller account counts as one account. Extra IP addresses on the same server do not each need a license.
The store asks for the server public IPv4 before it sells a license. Solo, Admin and Pro are sold for cloud and VPS only. Premier also runs on dedicated hardware.
- Count cPanel accounts, not the websites inside one account.
- Pick the smallest tier that covers that count.
- Past 100 accounts, budget Premier plus $0.49 for each extra account.
What each cPanel license tier costs
On 30 October 2026 the cPanel pricing page listed these store prices in US dollars. Annual billing is marked 8.4% lower for Solo, Admin and Pro, excluding VAT. Premier is billed monthly, and that page shows no annual price for it.
| Tier | Accounts | Monthly list (USD) | Annual equivalent | Runs on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solo | 1 | $29.99 | $27.46/mo excl. VAT | Cloud and VPS |
| Admin | Up to 5 | $35.99 | $32.96/mo excl. VAT | Cloud and VPS |
| Pro | Up to 30 | $53.99 | $49.46/mo excl. VAT | Cloud and VPS |
| Premier | Up to 100, then $0.49 each | $69.99 excl. VAT | Billed monthly only | Cloud, VPS and dedicated |
Recheck the cPanel store before you pay. The list can change after 30 October 2026.
WHM is included in the same license. The pricing page does not sell WHM on its own. WP Squared, a WordPress product on that page, is $84.99 a month for 10 sites and $0.40 for each site after that. It is not one of the four account tiers.
Extensions such as Imunify360 and WHMCS are listed separately, from $45 and $34.95 a month. They are not inside the Solo, Admin, Pro or Premier price.
What a cPanel license costs in India
The cPanel store bills in US dollars and does not publish an INR price. A rupee figure on an Indian hosting page is a plan that includes the panel, with 18% GST added on the invoice.
WebJi® does not print a standalone license in rupees. cPanel hosting includes the panel: L-Basic is ₹300 a month or ₹3,000 for one year, L-Unlimited is ₹400 or ₹4,000, and L-Developer is ₹700 or ₹7,000, all before 18% GST.
The one-year bill is lower than twelve times the monthly price. A license for a server you already own is not on that table. Email support@webji.services and the quote is sent before you pay.
Domain India listed shared cPanel hosting from ₹125 a month before 18% GST, dated 24 September 2026 on their comparison. That is their hosting price, not a Premier license, and WebJi® is not Domain India.
When a host bundles the cPanel license
On shared hosting the provider holds the license. You get a cPanel login and you do not pay the cPanel store. The plan price, before GST, is the charge.
WebJi® cPanel reseller hosting starts at ₹4,000 a year before 18% GST for LR-START, with WHM and a cPanel login per client. That plan includes a license allocation. It is not the $29.99 Solo license.
On an unmanaged VPS the license is a separate line unless the offer says it is included. Add the server and the tier before you compare that total with a shared plan.
How DirectAdmin, Plesk and CyberPanel compare on license cost
DirectAdmin is the comparison to read when the cPanel account caps are what make the license expensive. The differences that matter for a move are in cPanel vs DirectAdmin.
WebJi® Linux Plesk plans start at ₹360 a month before 18% GST for 2 GB, and the panel is included. Windows Plesk and Plesk on a VPS are quoted before you pay.
The open-source CyberPanel panel has no license fee. You still pay for the VPS and for the time to run it. Follow how to install CyberPanel if that is the route you want.
Moving a live server between panels is a migration, not a setting. If you are keeping cPanel on a machine you manage, use how to install cPanel on a VPS only after the tier is chosen.
How WebJi® includes a cPanel license
WebJi® cPanel shared plans include the panel. You do not add a Solo license on top. Before 18% GST, L-Basic is ₹300 a month, L-Unlimited is ₹400 and L-Developer is ₹700.
One-year bills for those plans are ₹3,000, ₹4,000 and ₹7,000 before GST. Longer terms are chosen at checkout. For a license on a server WebJi® does not host, email support@webji.services. The price is quoted before you pay.
That quote goes by email, in Hindi or English, and the average first reply is under 60 minutes. The Jaipur number is the registered office, not a support line. Migration is free only when terms are approved.

What did the cPanel license update change?
The license moved from one fee per server to account caps of 1, 5, 30 and 100, with $0.49 for each Premier account after 100. Updating the panel software inside WHM does not change this price.
