Their license also includes a Litespeed license. Are you referring to VPS licenses?

Yes, recently one of our client wanted a Free Control Panel to be installed on their VPS and migrate around 18 cPanel accounts from their old reseller. So, we suggested CWP to them and they agreed. The migration was very smooth and simple. I think its go to Control Panel now for small resellers.
This is what I'm working on also. I don't want to disturb the good accounts I have.
This is true. Yet it's not impossible to move away from it. It would just take time. I've already started that process.
The fact that site transfer is easy is what has caught my attention to CWP. I just set up a new server and am working on getting CWP on it. I contacted my upstream provider to see if it's best that I install it or they do it.

Its quite easy to install on a server using SSH
I'm considering going with CWP since it seems compatible with cPanel.
Exactly. Plesk was my choice when starting in this business because I had used it on my hosted sites and liked it. Later when I learned about cPanel being the popular choice I thought I would look into it. Yes, it was a big learning curve. I ran two servers, one with Plesk, one with cPanel. After learning cPanel I loved it and only ran cPanel servers because nobody after that was buying hosting on my Plesk servers.
I still like cPanel a lot, always will, but with this major price increase, they are fired. Within the next two weeks I will replace them with Plesk which will actually lower my server costs.. One of my newest servers will have CWP installed. My techs and I have not used this yet in production so we need time to test it and see how it works and performs.
With the upstream provider I use, Plesk is as low in price as using DirectMin. I have also been considering WebMin and UserMin on my newest server I am using for testing. There are a lot more than this to choose from, but these are among the best outside of cPanel and Plesk.

Sadly, cpanel changing there prices was a very bad move and I have a feeling they will end up losing a lot of business because of it. I was comfortable using cpanel but now use something called Siteworx which is just like cpanel if not better and cheaper as well for unlimited domains

When there are so many alternatives why would anyone continue with Cpanel and Spend on it. The other panels can expeirience the growth in this era

Yes I agree, however, as I mentioned earlier, cPanel’s popularity is because of easy management of websites, its integration with popular softwares like Softaculous, CloudLinux, JetBackup and much more.
To avoid downtime, users have decided to continue with cPanel.
