Protecting Your Hosting Margin as the Rules of the Game Change

Microsoft raises SPLA prices and changes product rules. Providers pass some of the increase to customers and absorb the rest. Customers also move to their own licences, which removes them from the billable base. Most providers track revenue — but not their actual SPLA margin.

💸 WHAT IT COSTS YOU

🔻 Price increases you can only partly pass on
🔻 Paying monthly for reported capacity you are not using
🔻 Under-reporting that creates a compliance exposure, found later in an audit
🔻 Customers moving to their own licences and reducing your billable revenue
🔻 No separate SPLA profitability figure, so margin loss is not measured

✅ Which recent Microsoft price and product changes hit hosting margins hardest
✅ Why both over-reporting and under-reporting cost money, and why reporting tools miss both
✅ How the Flexible Virtualization Benefit and bring-your-own-licence affect what you can bill, and where they stop applying
✅ How to check your reported position before an audit does
