What’s the future of cPanel?
This isn’t related to the vulnerabilities. They’re actively patching them, which while a bit exhausting to have to keep up with a new update everyday, I appreciate that they’re keeping it secure, especially after the first one that took down many servers (that many providers like Bluehost / HostGator haven’t restored)
But that aside, I truly just wonder what is going to happen with cPanel? We’re in the day and age where cPanel’s name has been tarnished due to their price structure change and constant increases, every single year since.
At this point, cPanel really just makes no sense to use and it’s not really in demand by people anymore. I remember I used to specifically want a host with cPanel. Now barely any major company uses it since cPanel getting greedy just made companies develop their own control panel or seek alternatives.
I just really wonder what the end goal is now? They just keep increasing pricing until no one’s left? They’re just hoping companies like Bluehost / HostGator are too lazy to migrate away and solely rely on their millions per month in cPanel fees?
I know this has all been said before probably but it’s just mind blowing that they don’t seem to want anyone to provide or use cPanel anymore. It’s no longer the industry standard, due to their own doing.
