What Precisely is cPanel Website Hosting?

For your info, it's useful to be aware that most of the cPanel Website Hosting offers on the present-day website hosting marketplace are provided by a very unsubstantial marketing segment (as far as yearly money flow is concerned) named hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a sort of a small-sized marketing niche, which supplies a vast number of different web hosting brand names, yet furnishing strictly the same thing: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Due to the fact that at least 98% of the website hosting offers on the entire web hosting marketplace supply one and the same solution: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel Website Hosting prices are similar. Very much alike. Giving those who require a top web hosting service almost no other website hosting platform/website hosting CP choice. So, there is merely one fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting brands all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than 2%, mind that one...

200,000 "Website Hosting firms", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly dubbed

The Website Hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offerings" Google reveals to us come down to just one and the same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different web hosting trademarked names. Suppose you are just an average person who's not well aware of (as the majority of us) with the site making procedures and the website hosting platforms, which actually power the different domain names and online portals. Are you prepared to make your hosting pick? Is there any web hosting option you can decide upon? Sure there is, today there are more than two hundred thousand website hosting corporations in existence. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ unique web hosting brand names in the world will offer you literally the same cPanel web hosting CP and platform, labeled in a different way, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the variety on the present-day website hosting marketplace is... Period.

The Website Hosting LOTTO we are all participating in

Simple math shows that to select a non-cPanel based web hosting company is a gigantic stroke of fortune. There is a less than one in fifty chance that something like that will occur! Less than 1 in 50...

The strengths and weaknesses of the cPanel-based Website Hosting solution

Let's not be cruel with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and probably covered all web hosting business requirements. To cut a long story short, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have only one domain name to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Negative Point No.1: A moronic domain folder configuration

If you have 2 or more domain names, however, be extremely attentive not to delete completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each new hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domain names are very simple to delete on the web hosting server, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the very well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder located inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to remove the files of the add-on domain names, please. Decide for yourself how good cPanel's domain folder arrangement is:

Are you growing puzzled? We absolutely are!

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

The mail folder arrangement on the web hosting server is exactly the same as that of the domain names... Making the same error twice?!? The admin guys strongly strengthen their belief in God when managing the email folders on the mail server, hoping not to mess things up too irretrievably.

Inconvenience Number 3: An utter shortage of domain management tools

Do we need to cite the complete shortage of a modern domain name administration platform - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or administer domain names, alter domains' Whois information, shield the Whois information, modify/set up name servers (DNS) and DNS resource records? cPanel does not involve such a "contemporary" section at all. That's an enormous inconvenience. An unjustifiable one, we wish to add...

Negative Point No.4: Many user login locations (min two, max three)

What about the demand for another login to use the invoicing, domain name and tech support administration GUI? That's beside the cPanel account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel Website Hosting service provider. Sometimes, based on the invoice transaction system (especially intended for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel Website Hosting service provider is utilizing, the eager customers can wind up with two extra login places (1: the invoicing transaction/domain name management interface; 2: the trouble ticket support software), winding up with an aggregate of three user login places (including cPanel).

Weak Side Number 5: More than one hundred and twenty web hosting CP menus to become familiar with... promptly

cPanel offers for your consideration more than a hundred and twenty sections inside the web hosting CP. It's a fabulous idea to get acquainted with each and every one of them. And you'd better memorize them promptly... That's way too arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel Website Hosting distributors:

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