What Does cPanel Website Hosting Stand for?

For your information, it's good to know that most of the cPanel Website Hosting offers on the current hosting marketplace are provided by a very insignificant marketing segment (when it comes to yearly money flow) called reseller hosting. Reseller hosting is a type of a small business niche, which provides a big amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet furnishing one and the same thing: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because at least ninety eight percent of the web hosting offerings on the entire web hosting market provide the very same service: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel Website Hosting price tags are identical. Very identical. Leaving for those in need of a top web hosting service practically no other web hosting platform/website hosting CP option. So, there is simply one fact: out of more than 200k web hosting brands around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than two percent, mark that one...

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

The Website Hosting "variety" and the website hosting "offerings" Google reveals to us come down to just one and the very same solution: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different hosting brand names. Suppose you are merely an average guy who's not very well familiar with (as most of us) with the web site creation processes and the website hosting platforms, which in fact power the various domain names and web sites. Are you prepared to make your hosting choice? Is there any website hosting alternative you can settle on? Of course there is, these days there are more than 200k web hosting corporations in existence. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ different web hosting brands around the world will offer you absolutely the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, dubbed in a different way, with literally the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the assortment on the present-day website hosting market is... Period.

The Website Hosting LOTTO we are all participating in

Simple arithmetic demonstrates that to pick a non-cPanel based web hosting vendor is an enormous stroke of luck. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that something like that will happen! Less than one in 50...

The positive and negative points of the cPanel-based Website Hosting solution

Let's not be severe with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and perhaps met most web hosting business preconditions. In brief, cPanel can do the trick if you have only one domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Inconvenience Number One: An imbecilic domain folder setup

If you have two or more domains, though, be very attentive not to delete entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each subsequent hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are very simple to delete on the web server, since they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain 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 domain names, please. Determine for yourself how terrific cPanel's domain name folder setup is:

Are you growing disorientated? We categorically are!

Predicament Number 2: The same e-mail folder structure

The e-mail folder arrangement on the web server is exactly the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the very same error twice?!? The admin chums strongly increase their faith in God when coping with the mail folders on the electronic mail server, praying not to mess things up too seriously.

Shortcoming No.3: An entire lack of domain administration user interfaces

Do we need to point out the complete deficiency of a modern domain manipulation user interface - a place where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or administer domain names, modify domain names' Whois details, shield the Whois info, change/set up name servers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not furnish such a "modern" GUI at all. That's a huge drawback. An unpardonable one, we would like to point out...

Predicament Number 4: Many user login places (minimum 2, max 3)

What about the demand for another login to use the invoice transaction, domain and technical support management software platform? That's aside from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel Website Hosting corporation. Sometimes, based on the invoicing tool (particularly conceived for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel Website Hosting service provider is making use of, the devoted customers can end up with 2 additional logins (1: the billing transaction/domain administration menu; 2: the ticket support software platform), ending up with a total of three user login places (counting cPanel).

Weak Point Number Five: More than one hundred and twenty web hosting CP areas to become acquainted with... rapidly

cPanel presents for your consideration more than 120 departments inside the Control Panel. It's a fine idea to learn each one of them. And you'd better learn them fast... That's inordinately impudent on cPanel's side.

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

As far as we are aware of, it's not the year 2001, is it? Mark that one too...
