How cPanel Website Hosting Operates

For your info, it's useful to know that the majority of the cPanel-based Website Hosting offers on the present website hosting marketplace are generated by a quite unsubstantial marketing segment (when it comes to annual capital flow) named hosting reseller. Reseller web hosting is a type of a small-size marketing niche, which supplies a huge number of different web hosting brands, yet providing absolutely the same solutions: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because at least 98% of the web hosting offers on the entire hosting marketplace furnish exactly the same service: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel Website Hosting prices are similar. Very much alike. Giving those who demand a top web hosting service almost no other website hosting platform/web hosting CP alternative. So, there is merely one single fact: out of more than 200,000 website hosting brand names all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than two percent, remark that one...

200k "Website Hosting firms", all cPanel-based, yet diversely dubbed

The Website Hosting "variety" and the website hosting "offers" Google reveals to all of us boil down to just one solution: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different hosting brand names. Assume you are simply a regular chap who's not very familiar with (as the majority of us) with the web page creation processes and the website hosting platforms, which actually power the different domain names and online portals. Are you prepared to make your web hosting selection? Is there any website hosting variant you can opt for? Of course there is, today there are more than two hundred thousand hosting companies in existence. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these more than two hundred thousand different web hosting brand names around the world will offer you the very same cPanel CP and platform, dubbed in a different way, with the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the variety on the present-day web hosting market is... Period.

The Website Hosting LOTTO we are all part of

Simple arithmetic demonstrates that to encounter a non-cPanel based web hosting firm is a gigantic stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that a phenomenon like that will take place! Less than one in 50...

The positive and negative sides of the cPanel-based Website Hosting solution

Let's not be relentless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and possibly fulfilled all website hosting business requirements. In brief, cPanel can do the job for you if you have just one single domain name to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Inconvenience No.1: A laughable domain folder structure

If you have two or more domain names, however, be extra careful not to remove entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub 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 simple to erase on the server, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder located inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to erase the files of the add-on domains, please. Determine for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain folder arrangement is:

Are you growing confused? We categorically are!

Downside No.2: The very same electronic mail folder configuration

The e-mail folder configuration on the hosting server is absolutely the same as that of the domain names... Making the very same error twice?!? The sysadmin chaps strongly strengthen their faith in God when tackling the email folders on the mail server, hoping not to bungle things up too badly.

Weak Side Number 3: A thorough deficiency of domain name management options

Do we have to refer to the thorough deficiency of a contemporary domain name management platform - a location where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or administer domain names, edit domain names' Whois info, shield the Whois info, modify/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not provide such a "modern" section at all. That's a colossal problem. An unpardonable one, we would like to add...

Weakness Number Four: Numerous login locations (min 2, maximum 3)

What about the necessity for an extra login to avail of the invoicing, domain name and technical support management software solution? That's apart from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel Website Hosting supplier. At times, based on the invoicing transaction platform (particularly tailored for cPanel only) the cPanel Website Hosting provider is utilizing, the eager clients can wind up with two extra login places (1: the invoicing transaction/domain name management tool; 2: the trouble ticket support software), winding up with a total of 3 login locations (including cPanel).

Negative Aspect Number 5: 120+ web hosting Control Panel departments to get familiar with... fast

cPanel offers for your consideration more than a hundred and twenty sections inside the web hosting CP. It's a marvelous idea to grasp each one of them. And you'd better get familiar with them fast... That's extremely insolent 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 aware of, it's not the year 2001, is it? Mind that one as well...
