What Does cPanel Website Hosting Denote?

For your information, it's good to be aware that most of the cPanel Website Hosting offers on the present-day website hosting market are supplied by a very insignificant business segment (when it comes to yearly cash flow) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller hosting is a sort of a small-size marketing niche, which generates a vast number of different web hosting brand names, yet supplying absolutely the same solutions: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Due to the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the web hosting offerings on the entire website hosting market provide exactly the same service: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel Website Hosting prices are alike. Very identical. Giving those in need of a top web hosting service virtually no other website hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel option. So, there is merely a single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand website hosting trademarks in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than two percent, mind that one...

200,000 "Website Hosting companies", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly named

The Website Hosting "variety" and the hosting "offerings" Google shows to us boil down to merely one thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different web hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are simply a regular guy who's not very familiar with (as the majority of us) with the website development procedures and the website hosting platforms, which actually power the various domains and web sites. Are you ready to make your web hosting pick? Is there any web hosting variant you can settle on? Sure there is, today there are more than two hundred thousand web hosting providers in existence. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200k+ unique website hosting brand names worldwide will offer you absolutely the same cPanel hosting Control Panel and platform, labeled in a different way, with absolutely the same price tags! WOW! That's how enormous the variety on the current web hosting marketplace is... Period.

The Website Hosting LOTTO we are all participating in

Simple math demonstrates that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting distributor is a colossal stroke of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that an event like that will take place! Less than 1 in 50...

The pros and cons of the cPanel-based Website Hosting solution

Let's not be pitiless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and probably fulfilled most hosting market requirements. In brief, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have only one domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Negative Aspect No.1: A dumb domain name folder configuration

If you have 2 or more domains, though, be very watchful not to remove entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each new hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are quite simple to remove on the web hosting server, since they all are set up into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder located inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to erase the files of the add-on domain names, please. Decide for yourself how terrific cPanel's domain folder setup is:

Are you growing confused? We definitely are!

Weakness Number 2: The very same e-mail folder structure

The electronic mail folder arrangement on the web server is precisely the same as that of the domain names... Making the very same error twice?!? The admin chums firmly reinforce their faith in God when coping with the email folders on the email server, hoping not to screw things up too seriously.

Weak Point Number 3: An absolute deficiency of domain management user interfaces

Do we have to cite the entire shortage of a contemporary domain administration interface - a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or administer domain names, edit domains' Whois information, protect the Whois details, modify/create nameservers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not have such a "contemporary" user interface at all. That's a major predicament. An unjustifiable one, we would like to point out...

Weak Side No.4: Many user login locations (minimum 2, maximum three)

What about the need for an additional login to use the invoice transaction, domain and tech support administration software solution? That's beside the cPanel account login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel Website Hosting company. Occasionally, depending on the billing tool (principally invented for cPanel only) the cPanel Website Hosting corporation is using, the avid clients can end up with 2 additional logins (1: the billing transaction/domain name administration system; 2: the ticket support section), winding up with a total of three login locations (counting cPanel).

Inconvenience No.5: More than one hundred and twenty website hosting CP departments to get to know... promptly

cPanel offers for your consideration more than one hundred and twenty sections inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's a fine idea to get acquainted with each of them. And you'd better get to know them swiftly... That's way too insolent on cPanel's side.

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

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