For your information, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel-based Website Hosting offers on the present-day website hosting market are provided by a very insignificant marketing niche (as far as annual money flow is concerned) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a sort of a small-scale business segment, which supplies an immense quantity of different web hosting brands, yet providing one and the same services: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98% of the web hosting offerings on the entire hosting marketplace offer strictly the same solution: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based Website Hosting prices are alike. Very much alike. Leaving for those who need a top web hosting service almost no other website hosting platform/web hosting Control Panel option. So, there is merely one fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting brands around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than 2 percent, note that one...

200k "Website Hosting distributors", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely dubbed

The Website Hosting "diversity" and the website hosting "offerings" Google shows to all of us come down to just one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different web hosting brand names. Assume you are only an ordinary chap who's not very well familiar with (as most of us) with the web page making procedures and the website hosting platforms, which actually power the separate domains and sites. Are you prepared to make your web hosting selection? Is there any web hosting alternative you can opt for? Of course there is, at the moment there are more than 200k web hosting service providers out there. Officially. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200k+ different web hosting brands worldwide will give you strictly the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, branded in a different way, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how big the diversity on the current web hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The Website Hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple arithmetic demonstrates that to encounter a non-cPanel based web hosting vendor is a big strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that an event like that will take place! Less than 1 in fifty...

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel Website Hosting solution

Let's not be harsh with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and possibly fulfilled most hosting business demands. To put it briefly, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have just one single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Negative Point Number 1: A dumb domain name folder setup

If you have two or more domain names, though, be extremely careful not to remove fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each next hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are quite easy to remove on the web server, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the very well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to remove the files of the add-on domains, please. Decide for yourself how terrific cPanel's domain folder structure is:

public_html (here my-default-domain.com is situated)
public_html/my-family (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-second-domain.com (an add-on domain name)
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 getting puzzled? We unquestionably are!

Drawback Number Two: The same email folder configuration

The e-mail folder configuration on the hosting server is literally the same as that of the domain names... Making the same error twice?!? The admin chaps firmly strengthen their faith in God when tackling the electronic mail folders on the email server, praying not to muck things up too irretrievably.

Weak Point No.3: A complete deficiency of domain name management GUIs

Do we have to mention the absolute deficiency of a modern domain name administration platform - a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or administer domains, alter domains' Whois information, secure the Whois info, edit/create nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not provide such a "contemporary" section at all. That's a huge shortcoming. An unforgivable one, we would like to add...

Predicament No.4: Many login locations (minimum 2, maximum 3)

What about the demand for an additional login to make use of the invoicing transaction, domain and technical support management software solution? That's beside the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel-based Website Hosting supplier. Occasionally, based on the invoicing tool (principally developed for cPanel solely) the cPanel Website Hosting corporation is making use of, the earnest users can end up with two extra login locations (1: the billing/domain administration menu; 2: the ticket support tool), ending up with an aggregate of 3 user login locations (counting cPanel).

Weakness No.5: More than a hundred and twenty hosting CP sections to get familiar with... quickly

cPanel presents to your attention 120+ areas inside the web hosting Control Panel. It's a fine idea to memorize each of them. And you'd better grasp them fast... That's excessively impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due appreciation, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel Website Hosting firms:

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