cPanel Web Hosting Description

For your information, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel-based Web Hosting offers on the current hosting market are supplied by a very insubstantial business niche (when it comes to annual cash flow) named hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a sort of a small-size business niche, which generates a great amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet offering one and the same solutions: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because of the fact that at least 98 percent of the hosting offerings on the entire hosting market supply one and the very same thing: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel-based Web Hosting prices are identical. Very much alike. Giving those who need a top web hosting service almost no other web hosting platform/hosting Control Panel alternative. So, there is only one fact: out of more than 200k website hosting brand names around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than two percent, mark that one...

Two hundred thousand "Web Hosting vendors", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely labeled

The Web Hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offerings" Google presents to all of us come down to just one and the same solution: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different web hosting brand names. Assume you are just a regular fellow who's not very well acquainted with (as most of us) with the web page development procedures and the website hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domain names and websites. Are you ready to make your hosting pick? Is there any web hosting variant you can select? Sure there is, nowadays there are more than 200,000 web hosting firms in existence. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these more than two hundred thousand unique web hosting brands across the world will give you literally the same cPanel Control Panel and platform, branded differently, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how enormous the assortment on the current hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The Web Hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple math shows that to chance upon a non-cPanel based web hosting distributor is a great strike of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that something like that will happen! Less than one in 50...

The positive and negative aspects of the cPanel Web Hosting solution

Let's not be relentless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and presumably answered all website hosting business preconditions. To cut a long story short, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have just one domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Predicament Number 1: A stupid domain folder configuration

If you have two or more domains, though, be extremely cautious not to remove fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each next hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are very simple to remove on the web hosting server, because they all are located into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite well known 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 erase the files of the add-on domain names, please. Decide for yourself how fabulous cPanel's domain name folder arrangement is:

Are you growing bewildered? We clearly are!

Drawback Number 2: The same email folder configuration

The e-mail folder structure on the hosting server is literally the same as that of the domain names... Making the same error twice?!? The admin blokes strongly reinforce their faith in God when coping with the mail folders on the e-mail server, hoping not to botch things up too harshly.

Weakness Number Three: An absolute deficiency of domain name administration GUIs

Do we need to cite the thorough deficiency of a modern domain name administration GUI - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or manage domain names, edit domain names' Whois information, secure the Whois info, edit/create nameservers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not supply such a "contemporary" GUI at all. That's a great shortcoming. An inexcusable one, we would like to add...

Negative Aspect No.4: Many login places (minimum 2, maximum 3)

What about the demand for another login to access the invoicing transaction, domain name and technical support administration platform? That's beside the cPanel account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based Web Hosting supplier. Now and then, depending on the billing transaction platform (especially devised for cPanel solely) the cPanel Web Hosting vendor is making use of, the avid clients can wind up with 2 extra login places (1: the invoice transaction/domain management GUI; 2: the ticket support software platform), ending up with a total of three login locations (counting cPanel).

Downside Number 5: More than a hundred and twenty hosting CP sections to grasp... fast

cPanel presents to your attention 120+ menus inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's a remarkable idea to memorize each one of them. And you'd better memorize them rapidly... That's very impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based Web Hosting providers:

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