cPanel Web Hosting Description

For your information, it's good to be aware that the majority of the cPanel website hosting offers on the current web hosting market are furnished by a very unsubstantial marketing segment (as far as yearly cash flow is concerned) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller web hosting is a type of a small-sized business niche, which provides a vast quantity of different web hosting brands, yet providing the very same thing: mainly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98 percent of the web hosting offerings on the whole web hosting marketplace provide the same service: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based website hosting prices are identical. Quite identical. Giving those who require a top web hosting service almost no other web hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel option. So, there is just one fact: out of more than 200k web hosting trademarks worldwide, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than 2%, mind that one...

Two hundred thousand "website hosting suppliers", all cPanel-based, yet diversely branded

The website hosting "diversity" and the website hosting "offers" Google presents to us come down to merely one and the 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 familiar with (as most of us) with the web site development procedures and the hosting platforms, which in fact power the various domain names and sites. Are you prepared to make your web hosting pick? Is there any website hosting variant you can select? Sure there is, today there are more than 200,000 web hosting companies out there. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these more than two hundred thousand unique website hosting brand names around the world will offer you strictly the same cPanel hosting Control Panel and platform, branded in a different way, with absolutely the same price tags! WOW! That's how vast the diversity on the present-day web hosting market is... Full stop.

The website hosting LOTTO we are all participating in

Simple math demonstrates that to run into a non-cPanel based web hosting firm is a huge stroke of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that something like that will take place! Less than 1 in 50...

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be pitiless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and perhaps covered most web hosting market prerequisites. In short, cPanel can do the trick if you have only one single domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Side No.1: A stupid domain name folder structure

If you have two or more domain names, however, be extra careful not to remove completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each next hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domain names are quite easy to delete on the web hosting server, since they all are located into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to delete the files of the add-on domains, please. Determine for yourself how wonderful cPanel's domain name folder setup is:

Are you becoming baffled? We positively are!

Drawback Number 2: The same email folder structure

The electronic mail folder configuration on the server is exactly the same as that of the domains... Making the same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin boys firmly enhance their belief in God when managing the electronic mail folders on the mail server, praying not to mess things up too fatally.

Weak Point Number Three: A total absence of domain name administration menus

Do we need to refer to the complete lack of a modern domain administration interface - a place where you can: register/move/renew/park or manage domain names, edit domain names' Whois info, protect the Whois info, alter/create nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not incorporate such a "modern" tool at all. That's a huge inconvenience. An unjustifiable one, we wish to add...

Disadvantage Number Four: Multiple user login places (minimum two, max 3)

How about the demand for an additional login to use the billing transaction, domain name and technical support management software platform? That's aside from the cPanel login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel-based website hosting service provider. At times, based on the invoicing transaction tool (especially devised for cPanel solely) the cPanel website hosting vendor is making use of, the avid users can wind up with 2 extra logins (1: the invoicing transaction/domain name management GUI; 2: the trouble ticket support system), winding up with a total of 3 login locations (counting cPanel).

Drawback Number Five: More than one hundred and twenty web hosting CP sections to become familiar with... swiftly

cPanel offers for your consideration 120+ menus inside the web hosting Control Panel. It's a fantastic idea to grasp each one of them. And you'd better memorize them fast... That's extremely impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due veneration, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel website hosting vendors:

As far as we are aware of, it's not the year 2001, is it? Mark that one too...
