Explanation of cPanel Website Hosting

For your info, it's good to know that most of the cPanel-based website hosting offerings on the present website hosting market are furnished by a quite unsubstantial marketing segment (when it comes to yearly cash flow) known as reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a type of a small-sized marketing segment, which provides a vast amount of different web hosting brands, yet supplying the very same solutions: mainly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because of the fact that at least 98 percent of the website hosting offerings on the entire web hosting marketplace provide the very same solution: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel website hosting price tags are alike. Very much alike. Giving those in need of 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 two hundred thousand hosting brands around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than 2 percent, note that one...

200k "website hosting vendors", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly dubbed

The website hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offers" Google presents to all of us boil down to merely one and the same solution: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are only a regular chap who's not very well aware of (as the majority of us) with the website development processes and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domain names and websites. Are you ready to make your web hosting selection? Is there any web hosting alternative you can choose? Of course there is, at present there are more than 200,000 website hosting vendors in existence. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ different hosting brand names worldwide will give you the very same cPanel website hosting CP and platform, branded in a different way, with absolutely the same price tags! WOW! That's how enormous the variety on the present-day website hosting marketplace is... Period.

The website hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple math reveals that to chance upon a non-cPanel based web hosting provider is a colossal stroke of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that an event like that will take place! Less than one in 50...

The pros and cons of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be fierce with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and perhaps satisfied all hosting market demands. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the trick if you have only one single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Negative Point Number One: A moronic domain name folder arrangement

If you have two or more domain names, though, be extremely cautious not to delete completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each subsequent hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are very simple to remove on the web server, since they all are created into the root folder of the default domain, which is the very famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder located inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to erase the files of the add-on domains, please. Examine for yourself how marvelous cPanel's domain folder setup is:

Are you growing confused? We doubtlessly are!

Shortcoming No.2: The same email folder arrangement

The e-mail folder configuration on the hosting server is literally the same as that of the domains... Repeating the same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin blokes strongly strengthen their faith in God when dealing with the mail folders on the email server, hoping not to mess things up too badly.

Negative Aspect Number Three: An absolute lack of domain name management GUIs

Do we need to mention the absolute deficiency of a contemporary domain administration tool - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or administer domains, change domains' Whois details, secure the Whois details, alter/create nameservers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not supply such a "contemporary" GUI at all. That's a major disadvantage. An unjustifiable one, we wish to point out...

Predicament Number 4: Many login locations (minimum two, maximum three)

What about the necessity for an additional login to use the billing, domain and tech support management software platform? That's beside the cPanel login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel website hosting firm. Sometimes, on the basis of the invoicing tool (especially meant for cPanel only) the cPanel website hosting service provider is availing of, the earnest users can wind up with two extra login locations (1: the invoicing transaction/domain management system; 2: the trouble ticket support software), ending up with an aggregate of three user login places (including cPanel).

Negative Side Number Five: 120+ website hosting CP sections to learn... quickly

cPanel offers for your consideration more than one hundred and twenty areas inside the hosting CP. It's a terrific idea to learn each of them. And you'd better become familiar with them quickly... That's quite insolent on cPanel's side.

With all due veneration, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based website hosting companies:

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