cPanel Website Hosting Defined

For your information, it's good to be aware that the majority of the cPanel-based Website Hosting offers on the present-day website hosting market are provided by a quite insubstantial business segment (when it comes to annual money flow) known as hosting reseller. Reseller web hosting is a sort of a small-scale marketing niche, which furnishes an enormous amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet offering strictly the same services: mainly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because at least 98 percent of the website hosting offers on the whole website hosting marketplace supply exactly the same service: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based Website Hosting price tags are alike. Very much alike. Leaving for those who demand a top web hosting service almost no other web hosting platform/web hosting Control Panel alternative. So, there is only a 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 2 percent, mark that one...

200k "Website Hosting distributors", all cPanel-based, yet differently labeled

The Website Hosting "variety" and the web hosting "offers" Google reveals to us boil down to just one solution: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different web hosting brand names. Assume you are only a regular fellow who's not very well acquainted with (as the majority of us) with the website development processes and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the different domain names and web portals. Are you prepared to make your hosting selection? Is there any web hosting alternative you can opt for? Of course there is, today there are more than 200,000 website hosting companies out there. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98% of these more than two hundred thousand different hosting brand names worldwide will offer you literally the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, dubbed differently, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how large the assortment on the present-day website hosting market is... Period.

The Website Hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple arithmetic reveals that to choose a non-cPanel based web hosting provider is a colossal stroke of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that an event like that will occur! Less than one in 50...

The strengths and weaknesses of the cPanel Website Hosting solution

Let's not be unfair with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and probably covered all website hosting market demands. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only one domain name to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Shortcoming Number One: A dumb domain name folder configuration

If you have two or more domains, though, be extremely cautious not to remove entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each next hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domain names are quite easy to delete on the hosting server, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the very famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to remove the files of the add-on domains, please. Check for yourself how great cPanel's domain name folder system is:

Are you growing nonplussed? We doubtlessly are!

Negative Point Number Two: The very same e-mail folder system

The email folder configuration on the web server is precisely the same as that of the domains... Repeating the same mistake twice?!? The admin guys strongly enhance their belief in God when tackling the electronic mail folders on the electronic mail server, praying not to screw things up too severely.

Negative Side No.3: An absolute lack of domain manipulation tools

Do we have to refer to the utter shortage of a modern domain manipulation platform - a location where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or administer domains, change domain names' Whois information, protect the Whois details, modify/create nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not supply such a "contemporary" section at all. That's a colossal weakness. An unforgivable one, we wish to add...

Predicament No.4: Many login places (minimum two, maximum 3)

How about the demand for another login to utilize the billing, domain and technical support administration software platform? That's beside the cPanel login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel Website Hosting provider. At times, depending on the billing transaction tool (especially developed for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel Website Hosting firm is utilizing, the keen customers can wind up with two extra logins (1: the invoice transaction/domain name administration user interface; 2: the ticket support section), ending up with an aggregate of 3 login locations (including cPanel).

Negative Aspect Number 5: More than one hundred and twenty web hosting CP sections to become acquainted with... promptly

cPanel offers for your consideration 120+ sections inside the hosting CP. It's a superb idea to learn each of them. And you'd better become acquainted with them quickly... That's excessively impertinent on cPanel's side.

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

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