Running a hosting business is all about balance. You want to give your clients top-tier performance, reliability, and security — but you also need to keep your operating costs in check. For many hosting providers, freelancers, and startups, license fees for essential software like cPanel, Plesk, CloudLinux, Imunify360, LiteSpeed, or WHMCS quickly become one of the biggest monthly expenses.
But what do these licenses really cost you, and how can Tremhost help you protect profits while still using the very same premium tools your competitors rely on? Let’s break it down.
The Reality: Why Hosting Licenses Eat Into Your Profits
When you buy licenses from traditional vendors, the costs add up fast:
- cPanel License — Regular pricing can exceed $50–$100+ per month depending on the number of accounts.
- Plesk Web Host Edition — Anywhere from $20–$50+ per server monthly.
- CloudLinux OS — Typically $14–$16 per server, per month.
- LiteSpeed — Depending on the number of domains, you might pay $20 to $90+ monthly.
- Imunify360 — Expect $12–$25 monthly per server.
- WHMCS — A professional or business license can run $20–$40 per month, with enterprise-level pricing even higher.
Multiply those across multiple servers and suddenly, even a modest hosting operation is shelling out hundreds — often thousands — per year just for licenses. It’s no surprise these rising costs are squeezing the margins of hosting businesses worldwide.

The Smarter Way: Tremhost Shared Licenses
Here’s where Tremhost steps in. Instead of paying sky-high vendor rates, Tremhost provides secure, genuine, fully functional shared licenses — at a fraction of the cost.
Take a look at the difference:
- cPanel Unlimited Accounts → With Tremhost: $5/month (vs. over $50+ elsewhere)
- CloudLinux OS Shared Pro → With Tremhost: $6/month (vs. $14+)
- Imunify360 → With Tremhost: $5/month (vs. $20+)
- LiteSpeed Unlimited Domains → With Tremhost: $5/month (vs. $40+)
- WHMCS (One-Time License) → With Tremhost: $50 once-off (vs. recurring fees)
👉 On just one server, businesses save $200+ per month, money that goes straight back into their profit margins. For larger setups, the savings can reach thousands per year.

But Are Shared Licenses Safe?
This is the big concern for most hosts — and rightfully so. With cracked or pirated licenses flooding the market, you should always be cautious.
Tremhost operates differently:
✔️ Genuine licenses on a shared basis
✔️ Continuous updates, patches, and security fixes directly from the vendors
✔️ 24/7 support for peace of mind
✔️ Over 10,000 licenses issued and trusted by hosting companies worldwide
That means you’re not buying “cheap keys” that could compromise your servers. You’re getting the same functionality as a full-price license, managed and maintained at scale by Tremhost.
Profit Isn’t Just About Saving — It’s About Growth
Yes, Tremhost helps you cut down costs — but the real story is how this allows you to grow your hosting business faster and more sustainably.
- Lower operating costs → Higher profit margins on every plan you sell.
- Scalable pricing → Add more servers, accounts, and clients without worrying about licenses eating into your growth.
- Better client offering → With access to top tools like CloudLinux, Imunify360, and LiteSpeed, you provide reliability, speed, and security — the features clients look for when choosing a host.
- Reseller opportunities → Tremhost even lets you join its reseller program, so you can profit by offering discounted licenses to other businesses.
The end result? Tremhost turns software licensing from a burden into a business advantage.
