Description of cPanel Web Hosting

For your info, it's useful to know that most of the cPanel hosting offerings on the present web hosting marketplace are provided by a quite inconsiderable business niche (as far as yearly money flow is concerned) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller hosting is a type of a small-scale business niche, which furnishes a huge number of different web hosting brands, yet furnishing strictly the same services: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because at least 98% of the website hosting offers on the whole website hosting market provide exactly the same service: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel hosting prices are similar. Very similar. Leaving for those who need a top web hosting service virtually no other website hosting platform/web hosting Control Panel option. So, there is simply one fact: out of more than two hundred thousand web hosting trademarks around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2 percent, mark that one...

The hosting "variety" and the website hosting "offerings" Google shows to us come down to merely one thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web hosting trademarked names. Assume you are only an average fellow who's not well aware of (as the majority of us) with the site development procedures and the hosting platforms, which actually power the various domain names and web sites. Are you prepared to make your web hosting pick? Is there any web hosting option you can settle on? Sure there is, nowadays there are more than two hundred thousand website hosting suppliers in existence. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ unique web hosting brand names across the world will offer you the same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, labeled in a different way, with strictly the same price tags! WOW! That's how large the assortment on the current web hosting marketplace is... Period.

The hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple arithmetic reveals that to pick a non-cPanel based web hosting service provider is an enormous strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that a phenomenon like that will take place! Less than one in 50...

The positive and negative aspects of the cPanel hosting solution

Let's not be merciless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and probably met most web hosting market prerequisites. In short, cPanel can do the job for you if you have just one domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Shortcoming Number 1: A foolish domain folder arrangement

If you have two or more domains, however, be very cautious not to delete completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each next hosted domain, 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, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the very popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to remove the files of the add-on domain names, please. Check for yourself how amazing cPanel's domain name folder configuration is:

public_html (here my-default-domain.com is located)
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 name)
public_html/my-third-wife (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-third-wife.net (an add-on domain name)
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)

Are you growing perplexed? We unquestionably are!

Shortcoming No.2: The same electronic mail folder configuration

The electronic mail folder structure on the web hosting server is precisely the same as that of the domains... Making the same error twice?!? The sysadmin blokes strongly reinforce their belief in God when tackling the e-mail folders on the e-mail server, praying not to bungle things up too irretrievably.

Weak Side Number 3: An utter lack of domain manipulation menus

Do we have to cite the utter lack of a modern domain name management user interface - a location where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or administer domains, edit domain names' Whois info, protect the Whois information, modify/set up name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not supply such a "contemporary" user interface at all. That's a gigantic downside. An unforgivable one, we wish to point out...

Negative Sign Number Four: Multiple user login locations (min two, maximum three)

What about the need for an extra login to use the invoicing transaction, domain and technical support administration software platform? That's aside from the cPanel login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel hosting service provider. Sometimes, depending on the invoicing transaction system (particularly devised for cPanel solely) the cPanel hosting firm is using, the avid users can end up with 2 additional login locations (1: the invoicing/domain management menu; 2: the trouble ticket support platform), winding up with a total of three login places (counting cPanel).

Weakness Number Five: 120+ Control Panel sections to become acquainted with... fast

cPanel presents for your consideration 120+ areas inside the website hosting CP. It's a fabulous idea to grasp each and every one of them. And you'd better learn them briskly... That's way too arrogant on cPanel's side.

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

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