Plesk Obsidian 18.0.77 addresses European accessibility compliance, removes the APS Catalog, and expands TuxCare legacy PHP support. It lands four months into the 26 percent licensing price increase, with an AI Copilot extension announced for 2026 but not yet shipped.

January 1, 2026. According to industry sources and partner communications, this update will introduce an average price increase of approximately 26%, alongside a structural change in how subscriptions are billed. These updates follow Plesk’s established pattern of annual price adjustments and reflect broader changes within the WebPros group’s commercial strategy.

As has become tradition, cPanel has once again announced updated licensing prices — and, as usual, the hosting community’s reaction ranges from weary sighs to outright frustration. Starting January 1, 2026, new pricing will take effect, and while the increases aren’t surprising, they will certainly sting for many administrators and resellers.

Choosing the right control panel for managing web hosting can make a big difference for your business.

In the web hosting industry, frustration over cPanel's constant price increases is growing.

Does this mean users should start looking for alternatives?

Vultr has recently introduced significant updates to its pricing for cPanel, Plesk, and GPU services. These changes, effective from October 1, 2024, aim to offer better value to customers while aligning billing practices with industry standards. Below is a detailed overview of these updates and their impact.
