cPanel Web Hosting Explanation

For your information, it's good to be aware that the majority of the cPanel-based website hosting offers on the contemporary website hosting market are supplied by a quite insubstantial marketing niche (as far as annual capital flow is concerned) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller website hosting is a kind of a small-size marketing segment, which supplies an enormous number of different web hosting brands, yet supplying literally the same services: mostly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Owing to the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the web hosting offerings on the whole hosting marketplace offer literally the same service: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel-based website hosting price tags are alike. Very similar. Giving those who need a top web hosting service practically no other web hosting platform/web hosting CP choice. So, there is just a single fact: out of more than 200k web hosting brands worldwide, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than 2 percent, mark that one...

200,000 "website hosting vendors", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely dubbed

The website hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offerings" Google shows to all of us boil down to merely one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web hosting brand names. Suppose you are simply an ordinary guy who's not very well aware of (as the majority of us) with the site development procedures and the website hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domains and online portals. Are you prepared to make your hosting decision? Is there any website hosting option you can choose? Of course there is, at present there are more than 200k website hosting companies out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98% of these more than two hundred thousand unique website hosting brand names worldwide will offer you literally the same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, labeled differently, with exactly the same price tags! WOW! That's how enormous the diversity on today's website hosting market is... Full stop.

The website hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple mathematics shows that to encounter a non-cPanel based web hosting company is a great stroke of fortune. There is a less than one in 50 chance that a thing like that will happen! Less than 1 in 50...

The positive and negative aspects of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be pitiless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and presumably fulfilled most website hosting industry requirements. In brief, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only one single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Drawback Number One: A foolish domain name folder configuration

If you have 2 or more domains, though, be ultra attentive not to remove entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each subsequent hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domain names are very easy to remove on the hosting server, because they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to erase the files of the add-on domain names, please. Decide for yourself how amazing cPanel's domain folder setup is:

Are you becoming disorientated? We doubtlessly are!

Negative Sign No.2: The same mail folder system

The email folder configuration on the server is literally the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the very same error twice?!? The admin chaps firmly reinforce their belief in God when coping with the mail folders on the e-mail server, hoping not to screw things up too gravely.

Problem Number 3: An entire lack of domain administration options

Do we have to refer to the utter deficiency of a modern domain management menu - a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or manage domain names, edit domain names' Whois information, protect the Whois details, modify/create name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not contain such a "contemporary" menu at all. That's a colossal inconvenience. An unforgivable one, we wish to add...

Problem Number Four: Multiple login places (minimum 2, maximum 3)

How about the demand for an additional login to utilize the billing, domain and tech support administration GUI? That's aside from the cPanel login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based website hosting corporation. Sometimes, on the basis of the invoice transaction tool (particularly created for cPanel solely) the cPanel website hosting supplier is making use of, the avid clients can wind up with two extra login locations (1: the invoicing transaction/domain administration software solution; 2: the ticket support system), ending up with a total of three user login locations (including cPanel).

Drawback Number Five: 120+ web hosting Control Panel menus to pick up... swiftly

cPanel presents for your consideration more than 120 menus inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's a marvelous idea to get to know each of them. And you'd better memorize them quickly... That's very impudent on cPanel's side.

With all due respect, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based website hosting service providers:

As far as we are informed, it's not the year 2001, is it? Note that one as well...
