Well, for a backup work staging site we use godaddy hosting which comes with cpanel, and there's been no increase (we just renewed).
OK, having just googled it I guess we're good for a couple of years but it looks like godaddy will be impacted. They are probably trying to work out some kind of volume discount, failing that looking at an alternative.
Edit: Ooh, got 'em by the short hairs -- "Once installed, cPanel & WHM cannot be easily removed. cPanel & WHM FAQ states that the best way to uninstall cPanel & WHM is by reformatting the server."
