Hosting Clients On A Shared Reseller Account?
InMotion Reseller Alternative: Your Clients On Your Own Private VPS
InMotion sells reseller hosting as a shared reseller account: your clients live on a server shared with other people’s clients, and you get a slice of it with WHM, cPanel and WHMCS on top. It is cheap, and at the entry tier it is very cheap — R-1000N is $0.99 a month introductory. What the price list also shows is where it lands: that same plan renews at $35.99, R-3000N goes from $39.99 to $75.99, and R-4000N from $49.99 to $109.99. LiberationTek does something different. Every reseller plan is your own private VPS with its own cores, RAM and NVMe storage, fully managed, with Imunify360 on every client account, a written client-protection promise, and a renewal that cannot rise more than 5%. We cost more. This page is about what the difference buys. Prices checked September 13, 2026.
“LTS has did a great job of offering what me and my clients need while offering personable support when I have had questions, custom needs, or whatever the situation may have been. I support several sites, and plan to continue hosting here for a long time.”

What Changes When The Server Is Actually Yours
Your Clients Are Not Sharing With Strangers
An InMotion reseller plan is a shared reseller account — your clients sit on a server alongside other resellers’ clients. Every Liberation plan is your own private VPS with its own cores, RAM and NVMe storage. Nobody else’s traffic spike, bad script or abuse complaint touches your roster, because nobody else is on the machine.
A Price You Can Quote Against For Years
Your plan renews at your signup price, and if our costs ever change you get notice before renewal with any increase capped at 5%. InMotion publishes its own renewals: $0.99 becomes $35.99, $26.99 becomes $55.99, $39.99 becomes $75.99 and $49.99 becomes $109.99. If you have already quoted clients annual pricing, that is your margin, not theirs.
Security On Every Client Account
Imunify360 runs on every account you create — firewall, web application firewall and automatic malware scanning and cleanup. It is built in rather than a security upsell you have to remember to sell. Launch and Studio cover 30 users; Agency and above cover 250.
A Written Promise About Your Clients
You get 15 days’ notice before we act on a client site, except where the law, a court order, an active security threat or resource abuse requires us to move sooner. It is set out in our published Reseller Client Protection Policy. We host churches, ministries, nonprofits and values-driven businesses, and we do not remove sites over lawful speech.
Fully Managed, So You Sell Instead Of Patch
OS and kernel patching, cPanel maintenance and 24/7 monitoring are ours. WHM and cPanel licences come with every plan, along with a domain reseller account, free AutoSSL, a 99.9% uptime SLA, a 30-day money-back guarantee and 24/7 U.S.-based ticket and chat support from people who know your server.
Root Access And Room To Grow
A private VPS means root and SSH access, so you can install what a client actually needs rather than filing a ticket to ask permission. Plans run from 2 vCPU and 4 GB up to 10 vCPU and 20 GB, and you move up without migrating your clients to a different platform.

What Customers Say After Switching
Real customer reviews. LiberationTek is rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google and 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot (September 2026).
Move Your Client Roster In 4 Steps
1. Send Us Your Account List
Export your client list from WHM and tell us roughly what each site runs. We size a Liberation plan against the real workload rather than the account count, and we will say if a smaller plan covers it.
2. We Lift The Whole Roster
cPanel-to-cPanel migrations restore cleanly, so moving from a WHM reseller account is the straightforward case. We handle sites, databases, email, cron jobs and SSL, free, with no per-site fees.
3. Nameservers Stay Yours
Point your existing private nameservers at the new VPS and most clients never notice anything happened. Your branding, your hostname, your invoices — nothing about the relationship changes.
4. Watch The First Month
We monitor the new server through the first billing cycle with you. After that the price is locked, so the margin you calculated stays the margin you have.

By Transferring Your Website
Liberation can transfer your website content from most site builder platforms.
Reseller Hosting FAQs
No, and it would be strange to pretend otherwise when both price lists are public. InMotion R-2000N gives you 50 cPanel accounts for $26.99 introductory and $55.99 on renewal; our Studio plan is $127 for 30 accounts. The difference is what you are on. InMotion sells a shared reseller account on a server with other resellers’ clients; every Liberation plan is your own private VPS with dedicated cores, RAM and NVMe, fully managed, with a renewal capped at 5%.
InMotion publishes both numbers on its own reseller page. As of September 2026: R-1000N is $0.99 introductory and renews at $35.99; R-2000N is $26.99 and renews at $55.99; R-3000N is $39.99 and renews at $75.99; R-4000N is $49.99 and renews at $109.99. Those are increases of roughly 90% to 120%, and more than thirty-five times on the entry plan. If you have quoted clients on annual terms, that gap comes out of your margin.
Because on a shared reseller account your clients’ performance depends on people you have never met. Another reseller’s traffic spike, runaway script or abuse complaint happens on the same machine as your roster. A private VPS removes that entirely — the cores, memory and storage are yours, and so is the IP reputation. For an agency whose own reputation rides on client uptime, that is usually worth more than the monthly difference.
Not bundled — InMotion includes a free WHMCS licence and we do not, which is a genuine point in their favour. You bring your own billing system, whether that is WHMCS, something else, or manual invoicing while you are small. What we include instead is the infrastructure side: a private VPS, WHM and cPanel licences, Imunify360 on every client account, a domain reseller account and full management.
You get 15 days’ notice before we act on a client site, except where the law, a court order, an active security threat or resource abuse affecting other customers requires us to move sooner. It is written into our Reseller Client Protection Policy rather than left to a support agent’s discretion, and we do not remove sites over lawful speech. For agencies hosting churches, ministries and nonprofits, this is usually the deciding factor.
Yes, free on every plan with no per-site fees. We move sites, databases, email, cron jobs and SSL certificates from InMotion or anywhere else, and we schedule the work around your clients instead of handing you a weekend of it. Launch covers up to 5 sites and the higher plans cover more. Tell us where your roster is now and we will give you an honest timeline.
Match on client accounts rather than headline price. Launch covers 5 accounts, Studio 30, Agency up to 100, Agency Plus up to 150 and Scale 250 — so Studio sits against R-1000N and R-2000N, and Agency against R-3000N and R-4000N. Every plan is a private VPS rather than a slice of a shared one, which is why the numbers do not line up directly.
