Linux VPS control-panel guide
Both panels can manage hosting on a Linux VPS, and both current Last License plans are listed at $3 per month. The useful choice comes from the administration workflow, server requirements, and limits—not the price.
VPS vs dedicated cPanel tier
A cPanel VPS license belongs on an eligible virtual machine. A dedicated or metal tier belongs on an eligible physical server under the publisher's current definitions. RAM, CPU, traffic, or the seriousness of the workload do not turn a VPS into a dedicated server. Check the provider's virtualization model and the license scope before installation. Last License currently publishes the $3 cPanel/WHM VPS plan and does not publish a separate dedicated cPanel plan, so this page does not imply that the VPS listing can be used on bare metal.
| Decision point | VPS tier | Dedicated tier |
|---|---|---|
| Machine type | Eligible virtual private server under current publisher rules. | Eligible physical or bare-metal server under current publisher rules. |
| Current Last License availability | Listed at $3/month | No separate public listing; ask support rather than substituting the VPS plan. |
| Pre-order evidence | Virtualization type, supported Linux release, hostname, public IP, and root access. | Physical server class, supported Linux release, hostname, public IP, and root access. |
| Price source | Last License VPS product page | Official cPanel pricing |
Confirm the hypervisor or virtualization type with the infrastructure provider, use a supported clean Linux image, assign a stable public IP, set a fully qualified hostname with working DNS, retain provider-console access, and make a rollback snapshot. Test one account, DNS zone, certificate, database, and mailbox before moving a production group.
Do not order the displayed VPS plan merely because its price is lower. Ask whether a dedicated listing is available and obtain its exact price, edition, support scope, and eligibility in writing. If it is not available, use the official cPanel pricing page or another legitimate source for a correctly scoped tier.

Decision checklist
Choose cPanel when the team already works through WHM and cPanel accounts. Choose Plesk when the operating workflow is built around Plesk websites, domains, and subscriptions.
Both current Last License listings are for a Linux VPS. Do not treat either listing as a dedicated-server plan without confirming a different product with support.
The Plesk listing does not state the supplied edition or domain limit. Ask support before payment. For either panel, check the current publisher requirements for the installed operating system.
Replacing one panel with the other is an infrastructure change, not a license swap alone. Inventory websites, DNS, mail, databases, backups, and administrator access before choosing the target panel.
Primary sources
Last License publishes the current plan and checkout details. The software publishers remain the source for installation and system requirements.
Review plan-specific requirements first, then open the product page for the current price and checkout path.
