How cPanel Website Hosting Works

For your information, it's useful to know that most of the cPanel Website Hosting offers on the current web hosting marketplace are supplied by a very unsubstantial marketing niche (when it comes to annual capital flow) called reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a type of a small-sized marketing segment, which furnishes a great number of different web hosting brand names, yet providing exactly the same thing: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because of the fact that at least 98 percent of the website hosting offerings on the entire website hosting market furnish exactly the same solution: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel Website Hosting price tags are identical. Quite similar. Leaving for those in need of a top web hosting service practically no other web hosting platform/web hosting CP choice. So, there is only one fact: out of more than 200k web hosting trademarks all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than two percent, note that one...

200,000 "Website Hosting firms", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely named

The Website Hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offers" Google shows to all of us boil down to just one and the very same solution: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different website hosting trademarked names. Suppose you are simply an ordinary bloke who's not very well familiar with (as the majority of us) with the web page making processes and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the separate domains and web sites. Are you prepared to make your hosting pick? Is there any website hosting option you can settle on? Sure there is, as of now there are more than 200,000 web hosting firms out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ different web hosting brand names in the world will offer you the very same cPanel Control Panel and platform, labeled in a different way, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the diversity on the present-day website hosting market is... Full stop.

The Website Hosting LOTTO we are all participating in

Simple arithmetic demonstrates that to come across a non-cPanel based web hosting corporation is a big strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that an event like that will happen! Less than one in 50...

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel Website Hosting solution

Let's not be unfair with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and possibly answered most hosting market requirements. To cut a long story short, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have just one domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Side No.1: A stupid domain name folder configuration

If you have two or more domains, however, be very watchful not to erase 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 name). The files of the add-on domains are very simple to remove on the web hosting server, because they all are set up 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 delete the files of the add-on domains, please. See for yourself how wonderful cPanel's domain name folder arrangement is:

Are you growing confused? We undeniably are!

Weak Point Number 2: The same email folder system

The mail folder arrangement on the web server is literally the same as that of the domains... Repeating the very same mistake twice?!? The admin chums strongly enhance their faith in God when tackling the e-mail folders on the e-mail server, hoping not to mess things up too irretrievably.

Problem No.3: A total deficiency of domain name manipulation menus

Do we have to refer to the entire shortage of a contemporary domain administration interface - a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or manage domain names, edit domains' Whois info, protect the Whois information, change/create name servers (DNS) and DNS resource records? cPanel does not incorporate such a "modern" GUI at all. That's a huge drawback. An unpardonable one, we want to add...

Shortcoming Number 4: Multiple user login locations (min 2, max three)

How about the necessity for another login to utilize the invoicing, domain name and tech support management menu? That's aside from the cPanel account login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel-based Website Hosting service provider. At times, depending on the invoicing platform (particularly developed for cPanel solely) the cPanel Website Hosting corporation is utilizing, the enthusiastic customers can end up with 2 extra login locations (1: the billing/domain name management tool; 2: the ticket support software solution), winding up with a total of 3 user login places (counting cPanel).

Weak Point Number 5: 120+ website hosting CP departments to learn... quickly

cPanel offers to your attention 120+ menus inside the hosting Control Panel. It's a fantastic idea to get to know each one of them. And you'd better become familiar with them fast... That's extremely impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due respect, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel Website Hosting vendors:

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