Hostinger is phasing out cPanel Reseller hosting to provide a more modern, high-performance environment specifically for web professionals and agencies. This guide explains the deprecation timeline, the benefits of moving to Hostinger Agency Hosting, and how to migrate your existing services.
Hostinger cPanel Reseller deprecation timeline
The deprecation of cPanel Reseller plans follows a specific timeline to allow you time to manage your websites:
- October 1st, 2026: Renewals for cPanel Reseller plans will no longer be available.
- October 1st, 2027: All cPanel Reseller plans will be fully shut down and terminated.
Impact on hosting plan renewals
Your cPanel Reseller plan status depends on its current expiration date and auto-renewal settings:
- If the plan expires before October 1st, 2026 and auto-renewal is enabled: Your plan will auto-renew for up to 12 months at the adjusted price. No further renewals are possible after this period.
- If the plan expires after October 1st, 2026 and auto-renewal is disabled: Auto-renewal will be permanently disabled for the plan after October 1st, 2026. You may manually renew before this date for a maximum of 12 months at the updated price.
- If the plan expires before October 1st, 2026 and auto-renewal is disabled: You can manually renew your hosting plan until September 30th, 2026, for up to 12 months.
NOTES
- If your plan extends beyond October 1st, 2027, the service will be terminated on that date.
- In case of termination, you will receive a refund for the unused subscription portion or credit toward a Hostinger Agency Hosting plan.
- You can view current renewal prices in the Billing section of hPanel.
Benefits of Hostinger Agency hosting
Hostinger Agency hosting is the recommended alternative, offering better performance and security for managing multiple websites. Key benefits include:
- Support for up to 300 websites.
- Full website isolation for enhanced security.
- Up to 40% increased website speed.
- Access sharing to securely manage customer sites.
How to migrate to Hostinger Agency hosting
Before starting, you can log in to cPanel to review the websites and accounts currently hosted under your Reseller plan.
You can move your websites to an Agency plan using the built-in migration tool in hPanel:
- Purchase and set up a Hostinger Agency Hosting plan.
- Access the Websites section in hPanel, locate your Agency plan and click on Migrate website.
- Enter the website’s name hosted on the cPanel Reseller account and follow the on-screen instructions. One migration request covers all websites under a single cPanel username.
- Once the migration is complete, test your websites to ensure they function correctly.
- Update your DNS records to point to the new hosting plan and wait up to 24 hours for propagation to complete.
NOTE
- The website migration process includes website files and databases. Cron jobs, DNS records, custom SSL configurations, or FTP accounts are not migrated and must be recreated manually.
Assistance during migration
While the migration tool handles most data automatically, you may need additional assistance during the migration process. If you run into issues during the transition or need help choosing the right hosting plan, get support through Hostinger Agent.
Transitioning to Hostinger Agency Hosting provides a faster and more secure environment for your web projects. This modern platform ensures your agency has the best tools to manage multiple client sites efficiently.
