Hosting.com Reseller Hosting: Enhance vs cPanel (2026)

Hosting.com's Two Kinds of Reseller Hosting
Reseller hosting lets you sell hosting under your own brand: you rent a big pool of resources, split it into accounts for your clients, and bill them yourself. Hosting.com — the company that was A2 Hosting until 2025 — sells two separate reseller lines:
Flagship reseller hosting runs on Enhance, a modern control panel. Hosting.com calls it "modern, flagship reseller hosting powered by Enhance". cPanel/WHM reseller hosting is the classic setup most resellers already know: WHM to manage accounts, cPanel for your clients.
The two lines have similar resources per account but are priced very differently, and the reason is licensing: cPanel charges hosts for every account, Enhance doesn't. Hosting.com says so openly in its own FAQ: "we're also charged on a per-account basis… That's the catch. It comes down to math."
Enhance Reseller Plans (E30–E250)
Every Enhance plan includes unlimited websites and bandwidth, free SSL, LiteSpeed Enterprise, daily backups and unlimited free migrations. There is no first-year discount — the annual price is simply about 17% below monthly billing, and it renews at the same price.
| Plan | Client accounts | NVMe storage | Per account | Monthly billing | Annual (per month) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| E30 | 30 | 100GB | 1 vCore, 2GB RAM | $21.99/mo | $18.25/mo ($219/yr) |
| E80 | 80 | 300GB | 2 vCores, 2GB RAM | $39.95/mo | $33.25/mo ($399/yr) |
| E120 | 120 | 750GB | 2 vCores, 2GB RAM | $54.95/mo | $45.75/mo ($549/yr) |
| E150 | 150 | 1,200GB | 2 vCores, 4GB RAM | $65.83/mo | $54.83/mo ($658/yr) |
| E200 | 200 | 1,600GB | 2 vCores, 4GB RAM | $74.17/mo | $61.75/mo ($741/yr) |
| E250 | 250 | 2,000GB | 2 vCores, 4GB RAM | $90.83/mo | $75.67/mo ($908/yr) |
Enhance plans are available in Dallas, London, Frankfurt and Singapore (E80 adds Mumbai). WHMCS is a $5/month add-on on E30 to E120.

Enhance vs cPanel: The Real Price Difference
Year one can make cPanel look competitive. Year two is where the licensing cost shows up. Here are sizes with the same number of accounts:
| Accounts | Enhance (every year) | cPanel, year 1 | cPanel, year 2+ | Enhance saves (year 2+) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | E30: $219/yr | Reseller 30: $245 | $490/yr | $271/yr (55%) |
| 120 | E120: $549/yr | Reseller 120: $645 | $1,290/yr | $741/yr (57%) |
| 150 | E150: $658/yr | Reseller 150: $795 | $1,590/yr | $932/yr (59%) |
| 200 | E200: $741/yr | Reseller 200: $2,290 | $2,290/yr | $1,549/yr (68%) |
| 250 | E250: $908/yr | Reseller 250: $2,890 | $2,890/yr | $1,982/yr (69%) |
Enhance also gives more storage at the same account count (E120 has 750GB against 360GB on Reseller 120). For a reseller the renewal price is the one that matters, because you're building a business you intend to keep — which is why Hosting.com calls the Enhance line its flagship.

Enhance vs cPanel: Features
Both: white-label client panels, WordPress toolkit with staging and cloning, one-click installs, Roundcube webmail and IMAP, free SSL, daily backups, free migrations.
Enhance only: restore your own full cPanel backups yourself (handy for moving clients over), one-click Cloudflare DNS integration, Node.js and Laravel, a custom control-panel URL and logo, and overselling allowed "as long as real usage stays within your limits".
cPanel only: full Python/Django support through the CloudLinux selector — Hosting.com says Enhance plans "do not but will in due time" — plus more data-centre locations, Softaculous, and the interface most end clients already recognise.
API: both work with WHMCS, Blesta and Upmind billing.
White Label and Billing
Both lines are white-label: your clients see your brand, not Hosting.com's. The Enhance plans also let you set your own control-panel address and logo, plus private nameservers and glue records. You bill clients yourself — with WHMCS ($5/month add-on) or Blesta (free on the cPanel line).
Before you point client domains at your new nameservers, check them with our NS lookup and confirm DNS has spread with the DNS propagation checker. Our Hosting.com nameservers page lists Hosting.com's own nameservers and IP ranges.

Which Reseller Plan Should You Choose?
Starting a hosting business or moving under 30 clients: Enhance E30 — $219 a year with no renewal jump.
Growing agency with 80–150 clients: Enhance E80, E120 or E150; the storage per dollar is far higher than the cPanel equivalents.
Clients who need Python/Django, or who refuse to leave cPanel: a cPanel plan — ideally one of the 50%-off sizes (30, 50, 60, 120 or 150), budgeting for the full price from year two.
More than 300 accounts: talk to Hosting.com about a dedicated setup.
