What Does cPanel Website Hosting Signify?

For your information, it's useful to know that most of the cPanel-based website hosting offerings on the present web hosting marketplace are provided by a quite insignificant marketing niche (when it comes to annual money flow) known as reseller hosting. Reseller website hosting is a kind of a small marketing niche, which provides a vast amount of different web hosting brand names, yet offering exactly the same services: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because at least ninety eight percent of the web hosting offerings on the entire website hosting marketplace supply the same solution: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel website hosting price tags are alike. Very similar. Leaving for those who require a top web hosting service practically no other website hosting platform/hosting CP option. So, there is only one single fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting trademarks worldwide, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2, mind that one...

200k "website hosting suppliers", all cPanel-based, yet diversely labeled

The website hosting "diversity" and the website hosting "offers" Google reveals to all of us come down to just one and the same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web hosting trademarked names. Suppose you are just a normal person who's not very well aware of (as the majority of us) with the site making processes and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the various domains and web pages. Are you ready to make your web hosting pick? Is there any web hosting option you can settle on? Of course there is, nowadays there are more than two hundred thousand website hosting service providers out there. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200,000+ unique web hosting brand names all over the world will give you precisely the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, branded in a different way, with exactly the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the assortment on the current web hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The website hosting LOTTO we are all part of

Simple arithmetic shows that to run into a non-cPanel based web hosting supplier is a huge stroke of luck. There is a less than one in 50 chance that something like that will occur! Less than one in 50...

The strong and weak points of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be merciless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and presumably met most website hosting market prerequisites. To put it briefly, cPanel can do the trick if you have only one single domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Aspect Number One: A stupid domain folder configuration

If you have two or more domain names, though, be ultra attentive not to remove entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each next hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domain names are quite simple to delete on the server, since they all are created into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite famous 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 remove the files of the add-on domain names, please. Check for yourself how marvelous cPanel's domain name folder system is:

public_html (here my-default-domain.com is placed)
public_html/my-family (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-second-domain.com (an add-on domain)
public_html/my-second-wife (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-second-wife.net (an add-on domain name)
public_html/my-third-domain.com (an add-on domain)
public_html/my-third-wife (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-third-wife.net (an add-on domain)
public_html/rebeka (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/rebeka.my-third-wife.net (a sub-domain of an add-on domain name)

Are you getting confused? We undoubtedly are!

Weak Side No.2: The very same e-mail folder arrangement

The electronic mail folder configuration on the web server is precisely the same as that of the domain names... Making the very same mistake twice?!? The admin chums strongly enhance their faith in God when tackling the email folders on the electronic mail server, praying not to screw things up too severely.

Shortcoming Number 3: A total lack of domain name administration GUIs

Do we have to point out the entire lack of a contemporary domain name management GUI - a place where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or manage domains, alter domain names' Whois details, secure the Whois information, change/create name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not furnish such a "modern" tool at all. That's a big disadvantage. An unforgivable one, we want to add...

Disadvantage No.4: Multiple user login locations (min 2, maximum 3)

How about the demand for an extra login to use the invoice transaction, domain and tech support management section? That's beside the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel website hosting firm. Occasionally, on the basis of the invoicing transaction system (particularly created for cPanel solely) the cPanel website hosting vendor is utilizing, the enthusiastic users can end up with two extra logins (1: the invoice transaction/domain name administration interface; 2: the ticket support user interface), ending up with a total of three login locations (counting cPanel).

Negative Sign Number 5: More than 120 website hosting CP departments to become familiar with... rapidly

cPanel presents to your attention more than one hundred and twenty areas inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's a fine idea to get familiar with each of them. And you'd better become acquainted with them swiftly... That's extremely impertinent on cPanel's side.

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

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