Notes on hosting licences

What we learn running a licence business, written down: how the products behave, what breaks, and what we would do differently.

Guides

cPanel License Types: Which One Should You Buy?

Two things decide your cPanel tier: how many cPanel accounts the server will hold, and whether the machine is virtual or bare metal. Both answers trip people up — one at install time, the other at account 31.

Comparisons

LiteSpeed vs Apache: where the gap is real

Most LiteSpeed benchmarks compare a cached site to an uncached one. Here is what actually changes: how LSCache works, what breaks silently in .htaccess, how licensing shapes your capacity plan, and when Apache is already enough.

CloudLinux LVE Explained: Resource Limits on Shared Hosting

One runaway account can drag an entire shared server down. CloudLinux LVE stops that at the kernel level. Here is what each of the six limits actually does, what a 508 really tells you, and where CageFS, PHP Selector and MySQL Governor fit in.

Security

Server security is layered: what Imunify360, CPGuard and cxs each actually cover

No single product secures a server end to end. Firewall, WAF, runtime defence, file scanning and restore are separate layers — Imunify360, CPGuard and cxs each cover different parts of that stack.

Reselling

Starting a hosting license reseller business

Reselling hosting licenses is not just buying low and adding a markup. What to stock, where the margin actually accumulates, how an IP-bound license reaches the customer, and the four WHMCS mistakes that cost real money.

Automation

Automating License Sales with WHMCS, End to End

Licenses are the easiest thing a hosting business can automate: no stock, no provisioning, one variable — the server's IP. Here is the whole WHMCS flow, from product setup to the errors you will actually see.

Guides

What Happens to Your Licenses When You Move Servers

Hosting licenses are tied to a server's IP address, not to a file on disk. That single fact decides the order of every migration step, and explains why the sequence you follow matters more than how fast you can copy the data.

Backup

A backup strategy that survives contact with reality: 3-2-1, incrementals and JetBackup retention

RAID is not a backup and neither is a snapshot. A practical look at applying 3-2-1 on a production server, how JetBackup 5 builds incrementals from hardlinks, how retention actually works, and what a real restore drill looks like.
