KnownHost,
If price goes up, I'll definitely liquidating my customers and closing business. Nothing to discuss here: cPanel want to shut down small and medium hosting companies and only the big ones will survive. They want to force hosting providers to move to the cloud but they will overcrowd instances with customers account to have the 0.20$ after 100 customers deals. I won't take a 200%(minimum from what I have) increase on my cPanel licences.
I will not take that increase. You can count me out. Literally!!!

Let's all take a step back and just have a little faith in us here
We're always looking out for our customers so don't worry.
We've been offering DA licenses for over 10 yearsSome are already moving to DirectAdmin...
KH VPS plans have cPanel or DirectAdmin included. There is a cPanel->DA tool available and with some KH help, I think things can go very smooth.
It's interesting to see what cPanel will say tomorrow

Time to spin a VPS and try DA just in case
cPanel will surely not revert back to it's old pricing.

It's got some differences from cPanel and thus a small learning curve but it's not a bad panel at all. In fact it has a lower running overhead than cPanel as is generally faster at supporting new features. They supported IPv6 before cPanel, they had PHP-FPM way earlier, PHP7 first, etc.

Off topic but what about Unmanaged KVM Cloud with DA? I only see cPanel as control panel.
If you want that let me know and I'll make it happen. The only reason it's not there is that our licensing system is currently not designed to provide DA license keys as that's something we've always done automatically on the managed side. It's on our list to get updated and as soon as the system is setup to provide the licenses we'll sell DA on unmanaged.
Is that where you're wanting to play around with DA?

So does the price increase even apply to KH, and subsequently it's customers, at all?
Prices changed for everyone https://blog.cpanel.com/update-to-account-based-pricing/
I suppose KH will come with an official response soon.
