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.

  • Renews at $49 a month, 69% more
  • 100 websites and 300 GB NVMe on hPanel

Hostinger figures as published at hostinger.com/pro, in its cart and in its cPanel Reseller discontinuation article, read on 11 October 2026; prices exclude VAT. inSave figures come from our own price list.

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.

How free migration works

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.

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 day after the move. This is what actually changes. The mental model is different, and that is the point cPanel gives you one account with everything in it: files, databases, mail, cron, all sharing the account’s limits. Enhance gives you a container per website. Your five sites are five isolated environments with their own CPU, RAM and I/O ceil

Your hosting renewal doubled. Here is how to read a price before you buy

The invoice arrives twelve months after you signed up and it is two to four times what you paid. Nothing went wrong and nobody broke a rule: you bought a promotional first term, and the renewal is the real price. It was on the page, in grey, under the price you actually read. This is how the industry works, and you are not going to change it. You can learn to read it in thirty seconds.

PostgreSQL on shared hosting: who actually needs it

Nearly every shared hosting plan on the market offers MySQL or MariaDB and nothing else. The result is circular: frameworks default to MySQL because that is what shared hosting has, and shared hosting offers MySQL because that is what frameworks default to. If your stack wants Postgres, you are usually pushed straight to a VPS. Sometimes that push is correct. Often it is not. When you genuinely need PostgreSQL Your framework’s ecosystem assumes it. Django and Rails both run on MySQL, but the
