cPanel Hosting Explanation

For your info, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel website hosting offerings on the present-day web hosting marketplace are furnished by a quite unsubstantial business niche (when it comes to annual cash flow) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a type of a small-scale marketing segment, which supplies a huge amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet supplying the very same services: mostly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because of the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the web hosting offerings on the entire web hosting marketplace provide precisely the same service: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based website hosting price tags are identical. Very much alike. Giving those who need a top web hosting service virtually no other hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel option. Thus, there is only a single fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting trademarks in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than 2 percent, mind that one...

Two hundred thousand "website hosting providers", all cPanel-based, yet differently named

The website hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offerings" Google reveals to all of us boil down to just one solution: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web hosting brand names. Imagine you are simply a regular person who's not very well acquainted with (as most of us) with the web page making procedures and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the various domains and web pages. Are you ready to make your web hosting decision? Is there any website hosting variant you can settle on? Sure there is, as of now there are more than two hundred thousand web hosting suppliers in existence. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200k+ different web hosting brand names all over the world will offer you precisely the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, labeled differently, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how big the assortment on the current hosting market is... Period.

The website hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple arithmetic reveals that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting company is an enormous stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that something like that will take place! Less than one in fifty...

The positive and negative sides of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be severe with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and probably answered all hosting market demands. To put it briefly, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only a single domain name to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Negative Side Number One: A ludicrous domain name folder system

If you have two or more domains, however, be extremely attentive not to remove entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub 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 web hosting server, because they all are located into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to erase the files of the add-on domains, please. Discover for yourself how terrific cPanel's domain name folder system is:

Are you getting confused? We undeniably are!

Downside Number Two: The very same email folder system

The mail folder arrangement on the web server is strictly the same as that of the domains... Making the very same error twice?!? The admin guys strongly enhance their faith in God when coping with the electronic mail folders on the e-mail server, hoping not to screw things up too gravely.

Negative Sign Number Three: An entire shortage of domain manipulation interfaces

Do we need to point out the sheer shortage of a modern domain administration platform - a location where you can: register/move/renew/park or administer domain names, edit domain names' Whois info, shield the Whois info, alter/create name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not involve such a "contemporary" section at all. That's a considerable inconvenience. An unforgivable one, we wish to point out...

Problem No.4: Numerous login places (minimum 2, maximum three)

What about the demand for an extra login to make use of the invoicing, domain name and tech support administration software solution? That's apart from the cPanel account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel-based website hosting service provider. Now and then, based on the billing platform (principally devised for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel website hosting supplier is using, the ardent clients can end up with 2 extra login locations (1: the invoicing/domain name management software solution; 2: the ticket support software), ending up with an aggregate of 3 user login locations (counting cPanel).

Weakness Number 5: More than one hundred and twenty website hosting CP menus to get acquainted with... quickly

cPanel presents to your attention more than 120 sections inside the web hosting Control Panel. It's a great idea to get acquainted with each and every one of them. And you'd better get familiar with them briskly... That's extremely insolent on cPanel's side.

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

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