What Does cPanel Website Hosting Represent?

For your info, it's good to be aware that most of the cPanel website hosting offers on the current website hosting marketplace are furnished by a very insubstantial business niche (when it comes to annual cash flow) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a sort of a small-sized business segment, which provides a huge amount of different web hosting brands, yet providing one and the same solutions: mostly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Due to the fact that at least 98 percent of the website hosting offerings on the whole web hosting marketplace furnish strictly the same solution: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based website hosting price tags are identical. Very much alike. Leaving for those who need a top web hosting service almost no other web hosting platform/web hosting CP choice. So, there is only a single fact: out of more than 200k website hosting trademarks all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2%, remark that one...

200,000 "website hosting corporations", all cPanel-based, yet diversely labeled

The website hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offerings" Google shows to all of us boil down to merely one solution: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different web hosting brand names. Suppose you are just an ordinary guy who's not very well aware of (as most of us) with the site development processes and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domains and online portals. Are you ready to make your web hosting decision? Is there any website hosting alternative you can select? Of course there is, these days there are more than 200,000 web hosting corporations out there. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ different website hosting brands in the world will give you absolutely the same cPanel website hosting CP and platform, branded differently, with literally the same price tags! WOW! That's how big the assortment on the present-day web hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The website hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple mathematics shows that to choose a non-cPanel based web hosting distributor is a big strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that an event like that will happen! Less than 1 in 50...

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

Let's not be cruel with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and perhaps covered all web hosting business prerequisites. To put it briefly, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only one single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Weak Point Number One: A laughable domain name folder configuration

If you have two or more domain names, though, be extra watchful not to remove fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each new hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are quite easy to remove on the web hosting server, since they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder placed 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. Observe for yourself how fabulous cPanel's domain folder arrangement is:

Are you growing puzzled? We definitely are!

Weakness No.2: The very same e-mail folder system

The electronic mail folder configuration on the web hosting server is exactly the same as that of the domain names... Making the same mistake twice?!? The admin chums strongly enhance their belief in God when managing the electronic mail folders on the mail server, hoping not to bungle things up too irreparably.

Inconvenience Number 3: An utter absence of domain name manipulation menus

Do we need to bring up the thorough deficiency of a modern domain administration GUI - a place where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or administer domains, change domain names' Whois information, secure the Whois details, modify/create name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not supply such a "modern" section at all. That's a mammoth inconvenience. An inexcusable one, we wish to add...

Predicament No.4: Numerous user login locations (min 2, maximum 3)

How about the necessity for another login to avail of the invoicing transaction, domain and technical support administration tool? That's beside the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel website hosting distributor. At times, on the basis of the billing transaction platform (especially designed for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel website hosting service provider is availing of, the devoted clients can end up with two additional login places (1: the invoice transaction/domain name management tool; 2: the ticket support menu), ending up with an aggregate of three login places (counting cPanel).

Drawback Number 5: More than a hundred and twenty hosting Control Panel sections to pick up... swiftly

cPanel presents to your attention 120+ areas inside the website hosting CP. It's a fantastic idea to learn each of them. And you'd better become familiar with them quickly... That's extremely insolent on cPanel's side.

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

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