Description of cPanel Website Hosting

For your information, it's useful to know that most of the cPanel-based web hosting offers on today's web hosting marketplace are generated by a very insubstantial business niche (when it comes to annual money flow) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a sort of a small marketing segment, which provides a huge number of different web hosting trademarks, yet providing precisely the same solutions: mostly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Owing to the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the web hosting offerings on the whole web hosting marketplace furnish the same solution: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel web hosting price tags are similar. Very identical. Giving those who require a top web hosting service practically no other website hosting platform/web hosting Control Panel alternative. So, there is only a single fact: out of more than 200k web hosting trademarks in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than two percent, remark that one...

Two hundred thousand "web hosting vendors", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly named

The web hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offerings" Google shows to us come down to merely one and the same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different website hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are merely an ordinary fellow who's not very well familiar with (as the majority of us) with the web site making procedures and the website hosting platforms, which actually power the various domains and web pages. Are you ready to make your web hosting selection? Is there any website hosting option you can select? Of course there is, right now there are more than 200,000 web hosting distributors in existence. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200k+ different web hosting brands around the world will offer you the very same cPanel website hosting CP and platform, labeled in a different way, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how great the assortment on the present-day web hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The web hosting LOTTO we are all participating in

Simple mathematics reveals that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting company is a mammoth stroke of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that a thing like that will happen! Less than 1 in 50...

The pluses and minuses of the cPanel web hosting solution

Let's not be merciless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and probably answered most website hosting market demands. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only a single domain name to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Disadvantage No.1: An imbecilic domain name folder arrangement

If you have 2 or more domain names, though, be extra cautious not to delete entirely 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 domain names are very simple to erase on the server, because they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to remove the files of the add-on domain names, please. Observe for yourself how excellent cPanel's domain folder setup is:

Are you getting confused? We clearly are!

Problem No.2: The very same e-mail folder setup

The electronic mail folder structure on the server is literally the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the same mistake twice?!? The admin blokes firmly increase their faith in God when handling the email folders on the email server, hoping not to mess things up too severely.

Negative Aspect Number 3: A thorough deficiency of domain name management sections

Do we have to point out the total absence of a contemporary domain name manipulation tool - a location where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or administer domain names, edit domains' Whois information, protect the Whois details, modify/set up name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not offer such a "contemporary" tool at all. That's a big downside. An unjustifiable one, we want to point out...

Negative Aspect Number 4: Numerous login places (minimum 2, maximum three)

How about the necessity for an extra login to make use of the invoicing transaction, domain name and tech support management system? That's beside the cPanel login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based web hosting distributor. Occasionally, based on the billing tool (particularly devised for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting distributor is utilizing, the enthusiastic clients can end up with 2 additional login places (1: the billing transaction/domain management software platform; 2: the ticket support GUI), ending up with a total of 3 login places (including cPanel).

Weak Side Number Five: More than 120 hosting Control Panel areas to get to know... swiftly

cPanel offers to your attention more than 120 sections inside the web hosting CP. It's a fabulous idea to get familiar with each of them. And you'd better learn them rapidly... That's excessively insolent on cPanel's side.

With all due respect, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based web hosting suppliers:

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