cPanel Hosting Defined

For your information, it's good to be aware that most of the cPanel website hosting offers on the current website hosting marketplace are provided by a quite insignificant marketing segment (as far as annual money flow is concerned) known as hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a type of a small-sized marketing segment, which supplies a vast quantity of different web hosting brand names, yet supplying the very same solutions: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Due to the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the website hosting offers on the entire website hosting marketplace provide the very same service: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel website hosting prices are alike. Quite similar. Leaving for those in need of a top web hosting service almost no other web hosting platform/web hosting CP option. Thus, there is just a single fact: out of more than 200,000 hosting brands around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2 percent, mind that one...

Two hundred thousand "website hosting service providers", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly labeled

The website hosting "variety" and the website hosting "offerings" Google presents to all of us boil down to just one solution: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different website hosting brand names. Imagine you are merely a regular fellow who's not very well acquainted with (as the majority of us) with the site development procedures and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domain names and web pages. Are you prepared to make your web hosting decision? Is there any website hosting alternative you can choose? Of course there is, at present there are more than two hundred thousand web hosting firms out there. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98% of these 200k+ unique hosting brand names worldwide will give you exactly the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, named in a different way, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how great the diversity on the present web hosting marketplace is... Period.

The website hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple mathematics shows that to encounter a non-cPanel based web hosting vendor is a huge stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that a thing like that will occur! Less than one in 50...

The positive and negative sides of the cPanel website hosting solution

Let's not be fierce with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and perhaps satisfied most website hosting business prerequisites. In short, cPanel can do the trick if you have only a single domain name to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Problem No.1: A moronic domain folder system

If you have two or more domain names, though, be extremely watchful not to remove completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each subsequent hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). 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. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to delete the files of the add-on domains, please. Determine for yourself how excellent cPanel's domain folder setup is:

public_html (here my-default-domain.com is located)
public_html/my-family (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-second-domain.com (an add-on domain)
public_html/my-second-wife (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-second-wife.net (an add-on domain)
public_html/my-third-domain.com (an add-on domain name)
public_html/my-third-wife (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-third-wife.net (an add-on domain name)
public_html/rebeka (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/rebeka.my-third-wife.net (a sub-domain of an add-on domain)

Are you becoming bewildered? We clearly are!

Negative Aspect Number Two: The very same e-mail folder system

The electronic mail folder configuration on the server is exactly the same as that of the domains... Repeating the very same mistake twice?!? The admin blokes firmly enhance their faith in God when coping with the email folders on the e-mail server, hoping not to muck things up too fatally.

Predicament Number Three: A thorough absence of domain manipulation menus

Do we have to mention the entire lack of a modern domain management interface - a place where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or administer domain names, change domain names' Whois details, secure the Whois information, change/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not involve such a "contemporary" menu at all. That's a colossal weakness. An unforgivable one, we wish to point out...

Weakness Number 4: Many user login places (minimum two, max 3)

How about the necessity for an additional login to use the invoice transaction, domain name and technical support management section? That's aside from the cPanel login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel-based website hosting company. At times, depending on the invoicing tool (principally tailored for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel website hosting corporation is availing of, the ardent users can wind up with two additional login locations (1: the invoicing transaction/domain management user interface; 2: the trouble ticket support GUI), ending up with a total of 3 login locations (including cPanel).

Negative Aspect No.5: 120+ website hosting CP departments to get acquainted with... briskly

cPanel offers for your consideration more than a hundred and twenty areas inside the website hosting CP. It's a fine idea to get familiar with each and every one of them. And you'd better become acquainted with them quickly... That's quite impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel website hosting service providers:

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