BuycPanel Acquired by cPanel

HostEONSHostEONS Member, Patron Provider

Just got this mail:

I am writing to you today with some important and exciting news about BuycPanel. After careful consideration by our management team, we have accepted an offer to be acquired by cPanel, the industry-leading hosting automation platform. All of us at BuycPanel are excited about this opportunity, especially the extra services, products, and opportunity this makes available to our customers.

As we evaluated our options to continue to grow our company, we determined the best path forward was to join an organization that is customer-centric, has more resources to propel us forward and that will continue to execute on our vision of great service and customer dedication.

We have worked very closely with cPanel for over a decade, and we could not have found a better partner to continue our mission. The cPanel team has been very gracious as we discussed our options and we are looking forward to what the future holds for BuycPanel.

Our commitment to customers is stronger than ever. There is no action required from you at this time. Please continue to use our customer portal for new orders, payments and to contact members of our team. You can still expect 24/7/365 support, and friendly welcoming staff to be available when you need us.

As we work through our integration with cPanel, we will provide updates to you. We deeply value the trust that you have put in BuycPanel over the years and we thank you for your continued support and business.

Sincerely,

The BuycPanel Team

    Yup same here, just haven't properly tested DA, we will be migrating DA soon or may be keep one cPanel server for legacy clients, haven't decided about that yet

    Yes we may try other panels also, but DA is our preference right now as already got some lifetime DA licenses :)

    CUSTOMER CENTRIC.

    WHAT DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND?

    THEY ARE CUSTOMER CENTRIC!

    Live coverage of the acquisition. First buycpanel is notified of the new pricing, and then cpanel buys them out:

    DA is a superior panel compared to cPanel, even with their "customer centric" approach.

  • JordJord Moderator, Host Rep

    I smell a rat

  • JordJord Moderator, Host Rep

    Yeah, cPanel took 3 days to reply to one of my tickets. So that is fantastic "customer centric" support.

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

    So basically cpanel destroyed their business model without notice so they could low ball buy in/out all their customers.

    pretty smart.

    Hilarious :wink: :smiley:

  • HostMayoHostMayo Member, Host Rep

    So no more discounted license. Good for buycpanel as they were about to doom!

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    Saw that coming.

  • Is anyone from BuycPanel represented here?

  • sweatbarsweatbar Member

    That means no more DISCOUNTS. Next is CloudLinux

  • How long until price changes?

    CloudLinux BuycPanel $11.95/month vs cPanel Direct $16/month

  • JordJord Moderator, Host Rep

    What's next cPanel buys Cloudlinux?

  • As I said, they will flip flop. Now cPanel it-self should begin stagnate as all generated income will not be re-invested into product it-self, but rather drained to investors and their bottomless pockets.

    cPanel buys LET to force removal of the "Shared/Reseller offers facilitated by cPanel - no longer allowed" rule.

    They need to become profitable again. :trollface:

    Haha, we do have discounted price for CloudLinux from BuycPanel :smile:

    Not only but JetBackup too as the cPanel developers completely messed up the original backup option, as pointless backup database files continues corrupted.

    JetBackup is owned by BuycPanel.
