Moving from cPanel to Enhance: what changes for you
cPanel has been the default hosting panel for twenty years, so most people moving away from it are not comparing features — they are worried about the…
How we compare
Hostinger reseller alternative, before cPanel Reseller shuts down
Hostinger stopped renewing cPanel Reseller plans on 1 October 2026 and shuts them down on 1 October 2027. What it offers instead is Agency Hosting on hPanel, or cPanel on a VPS you run yourself. Ours is reseller hosting as you know it — an account for every client, a white-label panel — on Enhance, from $24.99 a month, with every client account moved free.

What Hostinger is changing, and when
From Hostinger's own support article on the discontinuation, read on 11 October 2026.
1
1 October 2026: renewals stop
cPanel Reseller plans can no longer be renewed. A plan renewed just before the cut-off runs for at most 12 more months, at an adjusted price Hostinger shows only in your billing section.
2
What it offers instead
Agency Hosting on hPanel, for up to 300 websites. Or cPanel on one of its VPS plans, with the licence bought separately and the server yours to run.
3
1 October 2027: the plans shut down
Every cPanel Reseller plan is terminated, with a refund for the unused part or credit towards Agency Hosting. Whatever your clients still have on it stops with it.
Agency Hosting against Reseller on Enhance
Hostinger's replacement is built for an agency that runs its clients' sites, not for a reseller who sells hosting to them. Ours keeps the reseller model: every client gets an account and a white-label panel.

What it costs over one, three and five years
Agency Startup is $29 a month only on a 24-month term paid up front, $696 on day one, and $49 a month after it. Counted the way the invoices arrive, that is $2,460 over five years; Reseller Start comes to $1,499.50, a year at a time. It also carries fewer websites, as the table below shows.

Who answers when something breaks
At Hostinger
Priority support around the clock on Agency plans, as their page lists. For moving off cPanel Reseller, the discontinuation article points you to Hostinger Agent, their AI assistant.
Here
You support your clients and we support you, as before — except that the people behind you are the senior SRE/DevOps engineers who run the platform, and a platform incident is theirs to handle.
Who should switch, and who should not
Switch to us if
Your clients log in to their own accounts and you bill them for hosting, which Agency Hosting is not built for. Or you would rather not become the sysadmin of a cPanel VPS whose licence goes up again on 16 December. Every client account moves free, and our cycles discount up to 30%.
Stay where you are if
You run every client site yourself and your clients never log in: Agency Startup puts 100 sites and 300 GB on one plan and costs less per site than ours, renewal included. Or you need cPanel itself and are happy to run the server it sits on.
Moving is on us
Free on every plan, done by an engineer rather than handed to you as a tool, and with the old host left running until you have checked the new copy.
1
Tell us what to move
Send the login to the current host, or a backup file. One site or forty — the migration is free on every plan.
2
We copy it and you check it
The site comes up on our platform on a temporary address. Nothing points here yet, so you can click through it before anything changes.
3
We switch the DNS
When you say go, the name points at us. Done outside your busy hours if you ask, and with the old host still running until it is finished.
Questions about switching
When exactly does Hostinger cPanel Reseller stop?
Renewals stopped on 1 October 2026. On 1 October 2027 every plan is shut down and terminated, with a refund for the unused part or credit towards Agency Hosting. A plan renewed before the cut-off runs for at most another 12 months.
Can you move all my client accounts?
Yes, free and with no limit on how many. Send the reseller login or per-account backups; we import them into Enhance, and whatever the importer cannot take, an engineer moves by hand. You check each site on a temporary address, and we switch the DNS when you say so. A site moves within a day.
Why not cPanel on a Hostinger VPS?
You can: a KVM 1 VPS with a five-account cPanel Admin licence comes to $947.52 for the first 24 months, before tax. Then the server is yours to run, and the licence follows cPanel's prices, which rise again on 16 December 2026 — Admin from $35.99 to $38.99 a month at cPanel's list price.
