What Does cPanel Website Hosting Denote?

For your info, it's useful to be aware that most of the cPanel website hosting offers on the current website hosting marketplace are generated by a quite insubstantial business segment (when it comes to yearly cash flow) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller hosting is a kind of a small-scale marketing niche, which supplies a great number of different web hosting trademarks, yet offering precisely the same solutions: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because of the fact that at least 98% of the web hosting offerings on the whole website hosting marketplace offer one and the same solution: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based website hosting price tags are alike. Very identical. Giving those who demand a top web hosting service practically no other website hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel option. So, there is only one single fact: out of more than 200k web hosting trademarks worldwide, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than 2 percent, remark that one...

200,000 "website hosting service providers", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly dubbed

The website hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offers" Google reveals to all of us come down to merely one thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different hosting trademarked names. Suppose you are only a regular guy who's not very well acquainted with (as most of us) with the site creation procedures and the website hosting platforms, which actually power the separate domains and web portals. Are you prepared to make your web hosting pick? Is there any website hosting alternative you can pick? Of course there is, at the moment there are more than two hundred thousand web hosting suppliers in existence. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98% of these 200,000+ different web hosting brands in the world will give you the same cPanel web hosting CP and platform, labeled in a different way, with literally the same price tags! WOW! That's how huge the variety on the present-day website hosting marketplace is... Period.

The website hosting LOTTO we are all participating in

Simple mathematics shows that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting provider is a huge strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that something like that will take place! Less than one in 50...

The pluses and minuses of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be relentless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and possibly answered most web hosting industry prerequisites. To cut a long story short, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have only a single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Drawback No.1: A foolish domain name folder structure

If you have two or more domains, though, be ultra watchful not to remove fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each subsequent hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are very simple to erase on the hosting server, because they all are created into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite well known 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 delete the files of the add-on domain names, please. Verify for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain folder structure is:

Are you becoming bewildered? We doubtlessly are!

Drawback Number 2: The same e-mail folder structure

The electronic mail folder configuration on the web server is precisely the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the same error twice?!? The admin blokes firmly fortify their belief in God when handling the electronic mail folders on the mail server, praying not to mess things up too seriously.

Negative Side No.3: A complete deficiency of domain name administration GUIs

Do we need to point out the entire shortage of a modern domain name management platform - a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or administer domain names, edit domains' Whois info, shield the Whois details, alter/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not involve such a "contemporary" tool at all. That's an enormous weakness. An unforgivable one, we want to point out...

Downside Number 4: Numerous login locations (min two, maximum three)

What about the need for an additional login to use the billing, domain and tech support administration system? That's apart from the cPanel login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel-based website hosting company. At times, on the basis of the billing transaction system (principally meant for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel website hosting provider is utilizing, the avid users can end up with 2 extra login locations (1: the invoicing transaction/domain management GUI; 2: the trouble ticket support menu), winding up with a total of three login locations (including cPanel).

Negative Sign Number Five: More than 120 website hosting Control Panel sections to memorize... rapidly

cPanel offers for your consideration 120+ areas inside the web hosting Control Panel. It's a marvelous idea to become acquainted with each and every one of them. And you'd better get familiar with them quickly... That's very arrogant on cPanel's side.

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

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