5.A INTRODUCTION CPANEL ACCOUNTS
AtresHost is a legal service and we have all the official licenses for the software we use to run our servers.
Beware of companies offering unlimited cPanel accounts. The official accounts model offered by cPanel charges for each and every account created, so companies that offer “Reseller with unlimited accounts at a low price” plans are probably using hacked or pirated cPanel licenses or are covering the information in their terms of service. Hiring services from such companies to try to save some money is very dangerous, you risk that at any time the service will be removed, losing all your information, customers and damaging your reputation, because cPanel is aware of the problem that these illegal businesses pose and are working on blocking and eliminating the use of “nulled” licenses.
5.B CPANEL ACCOUNTS IN ATRESHOST
The cPanel accounts model for Reseller services allows you to create unlimited cPanel accounts without any restrictions.
Each plan includes a fixed number of accounts for free. Once that limit is reached, you will be charged 0.45€/m (tax included) for each additional account created in your reseller network. Suspended accounts are included in the account count, so you will need to be aware of suspensions.
*The price of additional cPanel accounts for the Reseller Hosting Starter plan is 0,65€/m per account.
The invoicing of additional cPanel accounts will be made in a complementary invoice to the Reseller service contracted on the 20th of each month
Free accounts included in each Reseller plan:
- Starter: 5 accounts
- Basic: 15 accounts
- Advanced: 30 accounts

No organization or entity on any blacklist may be hosted on our servers. Any account whose IP is on our “blacklist” will be immediately suspended.
The suspension of an account for SPAM and the subsequent cancellation of the suspension requires a payment of 400€ and the express commitment of the client not to violate the SPAM sending policy again.
