cPanel Hosting Explanation

For your info, it’s good to know that most of the cPanel-based web hosting offerings on the present website hosting marketplace are supplied by a quite unsubstantial marketing segment (when it comes to annual capital flow) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a kind of a small-size business niche, which generates a big number of different web hosting trademarks, yet offering one and the same solutions: mainly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98% of the web hosting offerings on the whole website hosting market furnish literally the same solution: cPanel. There’s no diversity at all. Even the cPanel web hosting price tags are similar. Very identical. Leaving for those in need of a top web hosting service practically no other web hosting platform/hosting Control Panel choice. Thus, there is just one single fact: out of more than 200k website hosting trademarks around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than 2%, mind that one…

Two hundred thousand “web hosting service providers”, all cPanel-based, yet distinctly dubbed

The web hosting “variety” and the website hosting “offers” Google reveals to all of us boil down to just one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under 100’s of 1000’s of different website hosting brand names. Imagine you are simply a normal chap who’s not very well aware of (as most of us) with the site creation processes and the website hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domain names and sites. Are you ready to make your web hosting selection? Is there any web hosting variant you can opt for? Of course there is, today there are more than 200k website hosting companies in existence. Officially. Then where is the problem? Here’s where: more than 98 percent of these more than two hundred thousand different website hosting brand names across the world will give you absolutely the same cPanel web hosting CP and platform, dubbed in a different way, with exactly the same price tags! WOW! That’s how immense the variety on the current website hosting market is… Full stop.

The web hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple math demonstrates that to chance upon a non-cPanel based web hosting supplier is a gigantic stroke of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that an event like that will happen! Less than one in fifty…

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

Let’s not be unfair with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and possibly covered all hosting industry demands. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the trick if you have only a single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names…

Disadvantage Number 1: An imbecilic domain name folder structure

If you have two or more domains, however, be extra cautious not to erase completely the add-on ones (that’s how cPanel will call each next hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are quite easy to delete on the server, since they all are set up into the root folder of the default domain, which is the very famous 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 domain names, please. Discover for yourself how fabulous cPanel’s domain name folder setup is:

Are you growing perplexed? We absolutely are!

Problem No.2: The very same email folder configuration

The e-mail folder arrangement on the web hosting server is literally the same as that of the domains… Repeating the same mistake twice?!? The admin guys strongly enhance their belief in God when managing the electronic mail folders on the electronic mail server, hoping not to screw things up too gravely.

Downside Number Three: A total absence of domain manipulation sections

Do we need to point out the absolute shortage of a modern domain name management platform – a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or administer domains, modify domain names’ Whois details, protect the Whois details, change/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not incorporate such a “contemporary” user interface at all. That’s a vast predicament. An unjustifiable one, we wish to add…

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

What about the necessity for another login to utilize the invoicing, domain name and tech support administration section? That’s aside from the cPanel account login credentials you’ve been already provided by the cPanel-based web hosting provider. Sometimes, on the basis of the invoicing transaction system (principally conceived for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel web hosting provider is using, the avid users can wind up with 2 extra login places (1: the billing/domain management software; 2: the trouble ticket support platform), winding up with an aggregate of three user login places (counting cPanel).

Negative Side Number Five: More than a hundred and twenty web hosting CP areas to get to know… promptly

cPanel offers for your consideration more than 120 areas inside the website hosting Control Panel. It’s a fine idea to get to know each one of them. And you’d better get acquainted with them promptly… That’s excessively impudent on cPanel’s side.

With all due appreciation, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based web hosting corporations:

As far as we are informed, it’s not the year 2001, is it? Note that one as well…
