cPanel
cPanel publishes warnings about fraudulent/circumvented licenses and recommends buying directly or from authorized partners.
Official cPanel guidanceConsumer warning • Evidence first • Updated 28 Oct 2026
⚠️ Check the license.
RegularHost publicly sells very cheap “shared” licenses for commercial server software. Some software vendors have already confirmed authorization problems; others are reviewing the evidence.
Very simple rule: before you pay for a cheap commercial-software license, ask the real software maker whether the seller and activation method are authorized.
📣 What RegularHost publicly advertises
Its live pages use phrases such as “Instant Auto Replace License”, “Realtime Direct Updates” and, across its shared-plugin store, “Ability to replace normal license.”
RegularHost’s own Terms of Service says:
“All License is shared licensing, with the same efficiency!” It also claims direct updates from the manufacturer and that the software acts like a normal license. Read the public terms.

Fresh browser captures from RegularHost’s public pages taken on 25 Oct 2026. Each image below is an actual rendered page capture and links to the corresponding live public source.
Evidence note: public pages can change. Source links are provided so current wording can be checked independently before relying on historical captures.
🧾 What vendors have said
Status labels distinguish confirmed authorization facts from open reviews. A ticket being open is not itself proof of a violation.
💳 Payment-brand note: RegularHost’s public client-area footer displays Easypaisa, Western Union, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and Maestro under “Worldwide Payment Gateways Options.” This page does not claim that any of those companies currently holds a RegularHost merchant account; only the provider can verify that.
📬 Mini report forms: reports are not transmitted or stored by RH Watch. After the CAPTCHA check, your own email app opens with the relevant vendor contact pre-filled; review it before sending.
👤 Public corporate & professional record
🏢 UK Companies House: REGULAR HOST LTD (company 16376499) is listed as active. Its current officers page lists Syed Muhammed Waqas Asif as the active director, appointed 9 April 2025. The Companies House identity-verification notice records the verified name as SYED MUHAMMAD WAQAS ASIF. Check REGULAR HOST LTD and check the official officer record.
📞 Current public business contact
RegularHost’s current public website lists: contact@regularhost.com and +60 17-558 3325.
💬 WhatsApp: RegularHost’s current homepage links directly to its official WhatsApp chat. The site does not publish the underlying WhatsApp number in that link, so RH Watch does not guess one.
Portrait: supplied image of Syed Muhammed Waqas Asif, shown alongside the public Companies House director record. Readers should use the linked official corporate record for identity verification.
⚖️ Scope: these are public corporate/professional and business-contact facts. A director or founder title does not by itself establish personal responsibility for a licensing issue or criminal liability.
⚠️ Other shared-license sellers to verify
These sites publicly describe “shared,” “unofficial,” pooled, bypass, or unusually low-cost commercial hosting-software licenses. The red X means “verify before trusting,” not a criminal finding.
Important: inclusion means a seller’s own public wording merits direct verification with the software maker. It is not a finding that every seller, product, or transaction is unlawful.
💳 Payment logos shown by RegularHost
A live visual check of RegularHost’s public footer on 22 Oct 2026 showed Easypaisa, Western Union, PayPal, Visa, MasterCard and Maestro under “Worldwide Payment Gateways Options.”
Important: a logo on a website does not prove a direct merchant account or contractual relationship. Payment providers should verify any relationship using their own records.

What is a “shared license”?
The term is used by sellers for low-cost access to commercial software outside normal direct retail pricing. Whether a specific method is authorized must be checked with the software maker.
How should I verify a RegularHost license?
Ask the software maker whether the seller and activation method are authorized, use official license-verification tools where available, and do not run unknown root commands until verified.
🛡️ Protect yourself in 3 steps
Ask the real vendor
Before buying, email the software maker and ask: “Is this seller authorized, and is this activation method allowed?”
Use official verification
For cPanel, use verify.cpanel.net. Never accept a seller’s own “active” badge as proof.
Do not run mystery commands
Do not run unknown root/shell commands to “activate” commercial software until the real software vendor confirms the method.

Use the vendor-specific mini forms above to prepare a factual report. Include the exact product URL, invoice/license ID if available, server IP only if lawfully yours to share, screenshots and installation instructions.
🇵🇰 NCCIA
NCCIA confirmed receipt of the RegularHost complaint/procedure inquiry but requested name, CNIC, address, city and cell-number credentials. Because the complainant is a foreign, non-Pakistani individual without a Pakistani CNIC, RH Watch asked whether passport details, a foreign address and an international mobile number may be used. A further clarification request was sent on 28 Oct 2026 after FIA referred the matter to NCCIA.
Official NCCIA complaint portal🇵🇰 FIA — jurisdiction response
On 25 Oct 2026, Pakistan’s FIA replied to the RegularHost report and stated that the matter pertains to NCCIA and does not fall within FIA’s mandate. RH Watch is therefore keeping this complaint with NCCIA rather than duplicating it across agencies.
📡 PTA
The PTA complaint portal is complaint.pta.gov.pk. The portal requires a profile tied to Pakistani mobile/CNIC details, so foreign complainants should not invent credentials.
🏢 SECP
SECP’s complaints information is at secp.gov.pk. A UK company is not automatically within SECP corporate jurisdiction merely because a director resides in Pakistan.
🧭 Reporting rule
Report evidence to the authority that actually has jurisdiction. Avoid duplicate “shotgun” complaints, false identity details, or claims that go beyond the evidence.
🔬 Method
This tracker uses simple labels: confirmed authorization fact, under review, and publicly advertised. An open case is not presented as proof of a crime. The site does not publish passwords, identity documents, private customer credentials or unsupported accusations.
Corrections: If a named vendor or business can document that a statement here is inaccurate or outdated, the evidence should be updated promptly.
