What Does cPanel Web Hosting Denote?

For your info, it's good to know that the majority of the cPanel website hosting offers on today's website hosting marketplace are generated by a quite inconsiderable business segment (when it comes to annual cash flow) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a type of a small-sized business segment, which supplies a huge amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet offering exactly the same solutions: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because at least 98 percent of the website hosting offerings on the whole hosting market offer the very same thing: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel website hosting prices are similar. Very much alike. Giving those who require a top web hosting service almost no other web hosting platform/hosting CP alternative. Thus, there is just one single fact: out of more than 200k website hosting brand names all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than two percent, mark that one...

Two hundred thousand "website hosting corporations", all cPanel-based, yet differently labeled

The website hosting "variety" and the website hosting "offerings" Google shows to us boil down to merely one thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different website hosting brand names. Suppose you are only an ordinary bloke who's not well aware of (as the majority of us) with the web page creation processes and the website hosting platforms, which in fact power the different domain names and websites. Are you prepared to make your hosting pick? Is there any web hosting alternative you can opt for? Of course there is, now there are more than 200,000 website hosting corporations out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200,000+ unique web hosting brand names all over the world will give you absolutely the same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, labeled differently, with literally the same price tags! WOW! That's how big the variety on the present-day web hosting marketplace is... Period.

The website hosting LOTTO we are all participating in

Simple arithmetic demonstrates that to pick a non-cPanel based web hosting firm is a huge stroke of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that a thing like that will take place! Less than 1 in 50...

The upsides and downsides of the cPanel website hosting solution

Let's not be relentless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and possibly fulfilled all web hosting industry requirements. In brief, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only a single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Drawback Number 1: A foolish domain folder system

If you have two or more domain names, however, be extra cautious not to remove entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each subsequent hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are quite simple to delete on the hosting server, because they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain, which is the very popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder located inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to remove the files of the add-on domains, please. Decide for yourself how amazing cPanel's domain name folder arrangement is:

Are you becoming confused? We unquestionably are!

Shortcoming Number Two: The same email folder arrangement

The mail folder arrangement on the web server is literally the same as that of the domains... Making the same error twice?!? The sysadmin boys firmly enhance their faith in God when coping with the electronic mail folders on the electronic mail server, praying not to bungle things up too irretrievably.

Negative Point Number Three: An utter lack of domain administration sections

Do we need to refer to the absolute lack of a modern domain name management user interface - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or manage domains, alter domain names' Whois information, secure the Whois information, change/set up name servers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not supply such a "modern" tool at all. That's a vast inconvenience. An unpardonable one, we want to add...

Inconvenience No.4: Multiple user login places (minimum 2, maximum 3)

How about the need for an additional login to use the billing, domain and tech support administration software platform? That's beside the cPanel account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel website hosting corporation. At times, depending on the billing transaction platform (especially invented for cPanel solely) the cPanel website hosting vendor is making use of, the eager clients can end up with 2 additional login locations (1: the invoicing/domain name administration platform; 2: the trouble ticket support software platform), winding up with a total of 3 user login locations (including cPanel).

Negative Aspect Number Five: More than 120 hosting CP departments to learn... fast

cPanel presents for your consideration more than a hundred and twenty sections inside the website hosting CP. It's a great idea to get to know each one of them. And you'd better get familiar with them briskly... That's excessively arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due veneration, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based website hosting vendors:

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