How Does cPanel Website Hosting Operate?

For your info, it's useful to know that the majority of the cPanel-based website hosting offerings on the present-day website hosting market are provided by a quite insubstantial business niche (as far as yearly money flow is concerned) called hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a type of a small marketing segment, which supplies an immense quantity of different web hosting trademarks, yet supplying strictly the same services: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98 percent of the hosting offerings on the whole website hosting marketplace furnish strictly the same service: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel website hosting prices are similar. Quite identical. Leaving for those who need a top web hosting service virtually no other web hosting platform/web hosting Control Panel alternative. Thus, there is only one single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand website hosting brands all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than two percent, remark that one...

200,000 "website hosting corporations", all cPanel-based, yet differently labeled

The website hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offers" Google shows to all of us come down to merely one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different web hosting brand names. Imagine you are just an average chap who's not well aware of (as most of us) with the web page making procedures and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the separate domains and sites. Are you prepared to make your web hosting pick? Is there any hosting alternative you can choose? Sure there is, at present there are more than 200k web hosting distributors out there. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200k+ different web hosting brands worldwide will give you precisely the same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, dubbed in a different way, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how huge the diversity on the present web hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The website hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple mathematics shows that to pick a non-cPanel based web hosting company is an enormous stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that an event like that will happen! Less than one in fifty...

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

Let's not be severe with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and possibly answered all web hosting industry preconditions. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the trick if you have just one single domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Weak Side Number One: A foolish domain name folder system

If you have two or more domains, though, be extremely cautious not to erase completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each new hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are very simple to erase on the hosting server, since they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to erase the files of the add-on domains, please. Determine for yourself how great cPanel's domain name folder configuration is:

Are you getting confused? We categorically are!

Predicament Number Two: The same e-mail folder configuration

The electronic mail folder configuration on the web hosting server is absolutely the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the very same error twice?!? The admin guys strongly increase their faith in God when managing the mail folders on the mail server, praying not to muck things up too harshly.

Inconvenience Number Three: A sheer deficiency of domain manipulation sections

Do we have to cite the sheer deficiency of a modern domain administration platform - a place where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or manage domains, change domains' Whois information, secure the Whois info, modify/set up nameservers (DNS) and DNS resource records? cPanel does not have such a "modern" tool at all. That's a major shortcoming. An unpardonable one, we would like to point out...

Shortcoming Number Four: Multiple user login places (min two, maximum 3)

What about the necessity for another login to use the invoicing transaction, domain and technical support management interface? That's aside from the cPanel login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel website hosting corporation. Occasionally, on the basis of the billing platform (principally intended for cPanel only) the cPanel website hosting firm is utilizing, the keen customers can wind up with 2 additional login locations (1: the invoicing/domain name administration software solution; 2: the ticket support software), ending up with a total of 3 login places (including cPanel).

Negative Point Number 5: More than 120 hosting CP departments to become familiar with... fast

cPanel offers to your attention more than a hundred and twenty areas inside the web hosting Control Panel. It's a glorious idea to become familiar with each and every one of them. And you'd better get acquainted with them promptly... That's way too impertinent on cPanel's side.

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

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