cPanel Website Hosting Definition

For your info, it's good to be aware that the majority of the cPanel Website Hosting offerings on the current website hosting market are supplied by a quite unsubstantial business niche (as far as annual capital flow is concerned) named reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a sort of a small business segment, which provides a big number of different web hosting trademarks, yet providing the very same solutions: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because of the fact that at least 98 percent of the web hosting offers on the entire web hosting market furnish exactly the same solution: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel Website Hosting prices are similar. Very much alike. Leaving for those who demand a top web hosting service practically no other website hosting platform/website hosting CP choice. Thus, there is merely one single fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting brand names around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than two percent, note that one...

200k "Website Hosting vendors", all cPanel-based, yet differently dubbed

The Website Hosting "diversity" and the website hosting "offerings" Google shows to us boil down to merely one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different web hosting brand names. Suppose you are merely an ordinary bloke who's not very familiar with (as the majority of us) with the site development processes and the website hosting platforms, which actually power the individual domain names and online portals. Are you prepared to make your web hosting decision? Is there any hosting variant you can decide upon? Sure there is, right now there are more than two hundred thousand web hosting providers out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these more than two hundred thousand unique web hosting brands in the world will give you the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, branded in a different way, with the same price tags! WOW! That's how large the assortment on today's hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The Website Hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple math demonstrates that to choose a non-cPanel based web hosting company is a huge stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that an event like that will occur! Less than 1 in fifty...

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel-based Website Hosting solution

Let's not be harsh with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and possibly met most web hosting business requirements. In short, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only a single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Downside Number 1: A laughable domain folder structure

If you have two or more domain names, however, be very cautious not to delete fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each new hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domain names are very simple to remove on the hosting server, since they all are located into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder situated 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. See for yourself how fabulous cPanel's domain folder arrangement is:

Are you growing puzzled? We clearly are!

Shortcoming Number Two: The same e-mail folder structure

The electronic mail folder structure on the web hosting server is absolutely the same as that of the domain names... Making the same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin guys strongly strengthen their faith in God when coping with the electronic mail folders on the mail server, hoping not to mess things up too irretrievably.

Weak Point Number 3: An utter absence of domain name manipulation interfaces

Do we need to bring up the thorough deficiency of a modern domain name management interface - a place where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or administer domain names, modify domain names' Whois details, shield the Whois details, edit/set up name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not provide such a "modern" menu at all. That's a big downside. An unjustifiable one, we wish to point out...

Weakness Number 4: Multiple login places (minimum two, maximum three)

How about the need for an extra login to access the invoicing transaction, domain name and technical support management system? That's apart from the cPanel login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel-based Website Hosting firm. Occasionally, based on the invoice transaction system (especially designed for cPanel solely) the cPanel Website Hosting provider is making use of, the enthusiastic customers can end up with 2 extra login locations (1: the invoicing transaction/domain management user interface; 2: the trouble ticket support system), ending up with a total of 3 user login places (including cPanel).

Negative Sign Number Five: More than 120 website hosting CP departments to memorize... fast

cPanel offers for your consideration more than one hundred and twenty sections inside the web hosting Control Panel. It's a wonderful idea to become acquainted with each and every one of them. And you'd better learn them promptly... That's way too arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due appreciation, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based Website Hosting suppliers:

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