yea, this is terrible fro all cpanel type system.s
I've been looking for a different admin setup myself; cpanel +whmcs +plesk = all owned by same company, so expect the Same type of costings - WHMCS, cost per client? - to start being applied to all items they sell.
Basically, EIG and GoDaqqy, forcing out as many small hosts as possible.
Cloud 'managed' wordpress/drupal/joomla! etc. can still be done (swolecat.host coming soonest!)
But. Switching from cpanel to something different seems to be Very highly problematic at the moment.
you can also see their satisfaction rating on Twitter etc. has dropped like a stone since they released this extortion demand of their current customers; altho i think they did suspend their pages already.
