The Complete cPanel VPS Bundle: Everything You Need to Run a Hosting Business for $15/mo (Now $7.50)

Building a hosting business has never been more accessible. Cloud infrastructure is cheap, client demand for reliable hosting is steady, and the tools needed to run a professional hosting operation are well established. But there’s a step that trips up a lot of new and growing hosting providers: licensing.

Get it wrong and you either overpay dramatically  buying each license individually at full vendor prices — or you under-license your server and run without critical security, performance, or backup tools that your clients are implicitly trusting you to have in place.

The Tremhost cPanel VPS bundle solves both problems in a single order. For $15 per month  currently $7.50 with the 50% off promotion  you get every license a production hosting server needs, pre-bundled, instantly activated, and ready to go.

This post breaks down exactly what’s included, what each component does, and why the bundle is the most rational way to license a hosting server in 2026.

cPanel VPS License — the control panel your clients already know

cPanel is the world’s most widely used web hosting control panel. It provides the interface through which you manage your server as an administrator  via WHM, the Web Host Manager — and the interface through which your clients manage their individual hosting accounts.

From WHM, you create and manage client accounts, allocate resources, configure server-wide settings, manage DNS, and integrate with billing software. From cPanel, your clients manage their files, email accounts, databases, domains, SSL certificates, and everything else relating to their hosting account.

The reason cPanel dominates the market is familiarity. The majority of people who have used shared hosting before have used cPanel. They know where to find things, they know how it works, and they don’t need hand-holding. Offering cPanel means your clients arrive knowing how to use their hosting environment.

Buying cPanel directly from the vendor currently costs $45 to $65+ per month for a VPS with unlimited accounts. In the Tremhost bundle, it’s included as part of a $7.50 total monthly cost.

CloudLinux OS — the security layer every shared hosting server needs

CloudLinux is a hardened Linux operating system built specifically for shared hosting environments. Its most important feature is CageFS — a virtualized file system that places each hosting account in its own isolated container.

Without CloudLinux, a shared hosting server is a single environment where all accounts coexist. If one account gets compromised — through a vulnerable WordPress plugin, a weak password, or a malicious script  the damage can spread to other accounts on the same server. One bad actor can read files belonging to other users, inject malicious code into neighboring sites, or consume enough resources to make the entire server unstable.

With CloudLinux and CageFS, each account sees only its own files, its own processes, and its own resource allocation. A compromised account is contained. The damage stops there. Your other clients are protected and their sites keep running normally.

CloudLinux also includes LVE — Lightweight Virtual Environment  which lets you set per-account CPU and memory limits. This prevents a single client from accidentally or deliberately monopolizing your server’s resources and degrading performance for everyone else. It is the foundational technology behind stable, reliable shared hosting.

Buying CloudLinux directly from the vendor costs around $13 to $15 per server per month. In the bundle, it’s included.

Imunify360 — real-time security monitoring and threat prevention

While CloudLinux protects accounts from each other, Imunify360 protects your server from the outside world. It is a comprehensive security platform that combines six layers of protection in a single tool:

Web Application Firewall (WAF): Inspects incoming web traffic and blocks requests that match known attack patterns — SQL injection, cross-site scripting, file inclusion attacks, and hundreds of other common exploit techniques.

Intrusion Prevention and Detection System (IDS/IPS): Monitors server activity for suspicious behaviour  repeated failed login attempts, unusual file access patterns, privilege escalation attempts and blocks the offending IP addresses automatically.

Real-time Antivirus: Scans files as they are uploaded to your server, catching malware before it can execute. Regularly scans existing files to identify infections that may have slipped through.

Network Firewall: Operates at the network level to block traffic from known malicious IP ranges, botnets, and threat sources.

Patch Management: Identifies known vulnerabilities in server software and applies patches to close security gaps, reducing your server’s attack surface without requiring manual monitoring of every software update.

Reputation Management: Monitors whether your server’s IP is being used to send spam or engage in other activity that could get you blacklisted by email providers or security services.

Buying Imunify360 directly for unlimited users costs around $15 to $20 per month. In the bundle, it’s included.

LiteSpeed — the web server that makes every site on your server faster

LiteSpeed is a high-performance web server that replaces Apache as the engine that delivers web pages from your server to your clients’ visitors. It is a drop-in replacement  it works with your existing cPanel setup, your existing .htaccess rules, and your existing configurations but it serves those pages dramatically faster.

The performance differences are well documented and significant:

• Up to 6 times faster than Apache under normal load
• 3 times faster than Apache for SSL connections
• Up to 75 times faster for Magento e-commerce pages using LiteMage cache
• 50% improvement in PHP performance

These are not marginal gains. For a hosting provider, LiteSpeed means every WordPress site, every e-commerce store, and every web application on your server loads faster. Faster loading means better Google rankings for your clients, lower bounce rates on their sites, and a noticeably better experience for their visitors.

LiteSpeed also includes built-in anti-DDoS protection and is fully compatible with CloudLinux’s CageFS, making it a natural fit alongside the other components in this bundle.

Buying a LiteSpeed 2-core license directly from LiteSpeed Technologies costs around $20 per month. In the bundle, it’s included.

JetBackup — automated backups your clients can restore themselves

JetBackup is a backup management plugin for cPanel that handles the creation, storage, and restoration of backups for every account on your server. It supports multiple storage destinations  local disk, remote FTP, Amazon S3, Google Drive, Backblaze, and more — and gives both you and your clients a clean interface for managing backup schedules and performing restorations.

The standout feature for hosting providers is client-initiated restoration. Rather than contacting your support team every time they need to restore a file or database, clients can log into their cPanel, navigate to JetBackup, and restore what they need themselves. This dramatically reduces your support burden while giving clients the autonomy and confidence that comes from knowing their data is protected and recoverable.

JetBackup 5 — the current version included in Tremhost licenses — features a modern, intuitive interface and granular restoration options. Clients can restore entire accounts, individual files, specific databases, email accounts, or DNS zones independently.

Buying JetBackup directly costs around $10 per month. In the bundle, it’s included.

WHMReseller — offer reseller hosting plans to your clients

WHMReseller is a plugin that adds full reseller functionality to your cPanel server. It allows you to create reseller accounts — clients who can in turn create and manage their own hosting accounts under your server’s resources.

This is a significant revenue opportunity. Rather than selling only direct hosting accounts, WHMReseller enables you to sell reseller plans — packages that give clients their own WHM interface, their own branded hosting environment, and the ability to provision accounts for their own customers. Reseller clients typically pay more than standard hosting clients and tend to be stickier, because switching reseller providers involves migrating all of their end clients.

WHMReseller also lets you set individual resource limits for each reseller, control what features they can access, and manage the entire reseller tier from your main WHM interface.

Buying WHMReseller directly costs $6 per quarter. In the bundle, it’s included.

Softaculous — one-click installation for WordPress and 380+ apps

Softaculous is the auto-installer that integrates directly into cPanel and allows your clients to install web applications with a single click. The library includes over 380 applications — WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Laravel, and hundreds more.

For the majority of your clients, this means one thing: they can install WordPress in under two minutes without any technical knowledge, any manual file uploads, or any database configuration. In 2025, this is a baseline expectation. Clients shopping for hosting assume Softaculous or an equivalent is available. Offering it is not an upsell — it’s a standard feature.

Softaculous also handles updates, backups of installed applications, and staging — allowing clients to clone their site to a test environment before making changes. These features reduce the workload on your support team and give clients the confidence to manage their own installations independently.

Softaculous is included free with the bundle.

Sitepad — a drag-and-drop website builder for clients who don’t want WordPress

Not every client wants or needs WordPress. Many small business owners, freelancers, and first-time website owners want something simpler — a visual editor where they can build and update a website without learning a content management system.

Sitepad is a website builder that integrates with cPanel and gives clients exactly that. It includes hundreds of templates, a clean drag-and-drop editor, and the ability to publish sites directly without any additional configuration. Clients can build and update their website entirely through their cPanel without touching code or installing any software.

For you as a hosting provider, offering Sitepad means you can honestly market “free website builder included” across all your hosting plans — a feature that directly competes with what website-builder-focused competitors like Wix and Squarespace advertise, except your clients are getting hosting and a builder together rather than paying separately for both.

Sitepad is included free with the bundle.

FleetSSL — free SSL certificates on every domain, automatically

FleetSSL is Tremhost’s Let’s Encrypt integration, which automatically issues and renews free SSL certificates for every domain hosted on your server. Every site your clients host gets HTTPS, automatically, without any configuration required on their part.

SSL is not optional in 2025. Browsers flag non-HTTPS sites as insecure. Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal. Clients expect it as a baseline feature of any hosting plan. FleetSSL means you never have to think about SSL certificates — they are issued, installed, and renewed automatically across your entire server.

FleetSSL is included free with the bundle.

What the bundle costs vs buying everything individually

Here is the complete picture — every component priced individually at direct vendor rates versus the Tremhost bundle:

The bundle at standard pricing saves you roughly $100 to $120 per month compared to buying each license individually from the vendors. At the current 50% off promotional price of $7.50 per month, the saving is over $100 every single month — more than $1,200 per year from a single server.

Who the cPanel VPS bundle is designed for

New hosting providers launching their first server. The bundle gives you everything you need in a single order without having to research, compare, and purchase nine separate licenses from multiple vendors. It’s the fastest path from a blank VPS to a fully equipped, production-ready hosting server.

Existing hosts reviewing their licensing costs. If you’re currently paying vendor-direct prices for any of these components, the bundle replaces your entire existing licensing spend with a single $7.50 monthly line item. The saving is immediate and ongoing.

Resellers building a hosting brand. The WHMReseller license included in the bundle enables you to offer reseller plans from day one, opening up an additional revenue stream without any additional licensing cost.

Developers and agencies running client infrastructure. If you manage hosting for multiple clients across a single VPS, the bundle gives you the professional-grade stack those clients deserve, at a price that makes the infrastructure cost negligible.

How to get started

Ordering the cPanel VPS bundle from Tremhost takes a few minutes:

1. Visit tremhost.com/licenses.html and select the VPS License Bundle
2. Complete checkout — activation is instant
3. Tremhost provides free installation assistance if needed
4. Your server is fully licensed and ready to host

There are no long-term contracts on the monthly plan. If you prefer to eliminate the recurring cost entirely, lifetime license options are available for individual components including cPanel, CloudLinux, and Imunify360.

Final thoughts

The cPanel VPS bundle is not a compromise or a stripped-down alternative to proper licensing. It is a complete, professional hosting server stack — every tool you need, all genuine licenses, all receiving official updates — at a price that makes running a hosting business financially viable from day one.

At $7.50 per month during the current 50% off promotion, it costs less than most business subscriptions that deliver a fraction of the value. If you are setting up a new hosting server, relicensing an existing one, or simply reviewing what you’re paying and comparing it to what you should be paying, the bundle is the clearest answer available in 2025.
