What Does cPanel Website Hosting Denote?

For your info, it's good to be aware that the majority of the cPanel website hosting offers on the present-day website hosting market are provided by a very insignificant business niche (when it comes to annual capital flow) called reseller hosting. Reseller hosting is a kind of a small-sized business segment, which provides a great amount of different web hosting brands, yet supplying precisely the same thing: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because of the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the web hosting offerings on the entire web hosting market supply literally the same thing: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel website hosting prices are alike. Quite identical. Leaving for those in need of a top web hosting service practically no other hosting platform/website hosting CP choice. Thus, there is merely a single fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting trademarks in 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 differently dubbed

The website hosting "variety" and the web hosting "offerings" Google shows to us boil down to merely one and the very same solution: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different web hosting brand names. Assume you are only a normal guy who's not very well familiar with (as the majority of us) with the site making processes and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the separate domains and web sites. Are you ready to make your web hosting decision? Is there any website hosting variant you can settle on? Sure there is, as of now there are more than two hundred thousand web hosting vendors in existence. Officially. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200k+ different website hosting brand names around the world will offer you the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, dubbed differently, with the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the assortment on the contemporary web hosting market is... Full stop.

The website hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple math demonstrates that to select a non-cPanel based web hosting service provider is a big stroke of fortune. There is a less than one in 50 chance that an event like that will occur! Less than 1 in 50...

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

Let's not be harsh with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and presumably satisfied most web hosting business prerequisites. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only one domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Inconvenience Number 1: An imbecilic domain folder structure

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 call each subsequent hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are quite easy to delete on the hosting server, since they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to delete the files of the add-on domains, please. Discover for yourself how great cPanel's domain folder structure is:

Are you growing baffled? We doubtlessly are!

Disadvantage Number 2: The very same electronic mail folder system

The email folder configuration on the web hosting server is exactly the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the very same error twice?!? The admin guys firmly fortify their belief in God when handling the electronic mail folders on the electronic mail server, hoping not to muck things up too gravely.

Weakness Number Three: An entire shortage of domain name management sections

Do we have to point out the thorough lack of a contemporary domain administration tool - a place where you can: register/move/renew/park or administer domains, change domain names' Whois info, secure the Whois details, modify/create name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not include such a "contemporary" tool at all. That's a great predicament. An unpardonable one, we would like to point out...

Negative Side Number Four: Many login locations (minimum two, maximum three)

How about the demand for an extra login to avail of the invoice transaction, domain and tech support management section? That's apart from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel-based website hosting supplier. Now and then, on the basis of the billing transaction system (especially conceived for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel website hosting service provider is using, the avid clients can end up with two extra login locations (1: the invoicing/domain administration user interface; 2: the ticket support software platform), ending up with an aggregate of three user login locations (including cPanel).

Inconvenience Number 5: More than one hundred and twenty CP menus to get to know... swiftly

cPanel presents to your attention more than a hundred and twenty areas inside the website hosting CP. It's a great idea to get to know each one of them. And you'd better grasp them quickly... That's way too impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due appreciation, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel website hosting firms:

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