What Our Clients Are Saying:
I can’t believe it’s been six years since I first signed up for web hosting with Truehost. They have been nothing but reliable, and the customer service is impeccable. I have had a few times where my site went down for an extended period of time, and each time Truehost was quick to respond and helped me get back up and running again.
I am not a tech expert, but I know a thing or two about hosting providers and what they should offer. I wanted to try out Truehost and see if they were worth their praises so I signed up for one of their plans. And boy, did they deliver! The customer service was top notch and the features that came with my plan allowed me to customize my site

public_htmldirectory.
Once uploaded, your site will be live at your domain.
How much does cPanel cost?
For single users, there is usually no additional cost for cPanel as it is included in your cPanel hosting plan (shared hosting). However, if you’re a server administrator or reseller, independent cPanel licenses commence from $27 per month and can change depending on the number of accounts. Yet, the majority of shared hosting users won’t encounter any additional fees.

Is cPanel free?
cPanel itself is not free and requires a paid license, with costs depending on factors like the number of accounts or server type (e.g., VPS or dedicated).
However, there are ways to access it without additional cost.

But with basic security practices, you can protect your cPanel account:

- Use secure SSL (HTTPS)
- Limit login attempts
Reputable hosts like Truehost also have firewalls and malware scanning in place to keep your site safe.
