Shared Hosting SQL Server Price Changes - March 202626 November 2025, in Shared Web HostingWe offer Microsoft SQL Server through the Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA). This licensing model is required by Microsoft for service providers that host software for external customers. SPLA operates on a monthly subscription model and charges based on the processor core count for SQL Server. Microsoft has announced that SQL Server Web Edition will be retired under SPLA for all future versions of SQL Server. All workloads must now migrate to SQL Server Standard Edition, which has a significantly higher per-core cost. Impact on Pricing for Shared Web Hosting
In the coming months, we will conduct maintenance on SQL Server databases to accommodate these changes and will notify customers of when this maintenance will take place. Hostnames and logins will be retained to prevent customers from needing to make adjustments to the database connection strings within their websites. If you’d like to discuss how this affects your shared web hosting plan, please contact support at; www.webwiz.net/support Thank you for your continued partnership. |
