Before ordering
A few licensing details matter.
- cPanel: Premier includes up to 100 accounts; additional accounts are billed at the published overage rate.
- Proxmox: paid subscriptions are billed monthly per physical CPU socket, not per CPU core.
- BYOL: you are responsible for maintaining valid vendor licensing for software marked Bring Your Own License.
- Compatibility: some licenses are limited by operating system, virtualization type, server configuration, or vendor eligibility.
- Refunds: software licensing fees are non-refundable once provisioned, consistent with NodeSpace's refund policy.
Need something else?
Ask us before buying the wrong license.
NodeSpace may be able to source other server software such as JetBackup, Imunify, KernelCare, Windows RDS/CAL licensing, and related products. Availability and pricing depend on the vendor and your environment.
For supported NodeSpace-hosted systems, we can also help with installation and initial activation.

Software licensing FAQ
Most licenses on this page are intended for eligible NodeSpace-hosted systems. WHMCS licensing has its own eligibility requirements. Contact sales if you need to confirm whether a specific license can be provided for your service.
BYOL means Bring Your Own License. NodeSpace can provide the compatible environment, but you supply and maintain the software license or entitlement.
For supported software on NodeSpace-hosted systems, installation and initial activation assistance is available. More involved migrations or custom configuration may fall under managed or professional services.
Prices shown are in USD and apply to the software license or subscription only unless otherwise stated. Taxes may apply. Vendor pricing and eligibility can change.
