cPanel Website Hosting Unveiled

For your info, it's good to be aware that the majority of the cPanel website hosting offers on the contemporary web hosting market are supplied by a very insignificant business segment (as far as yearly money flow is concerned) named reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a kind of a small-size marketing segment, which provides a big number of different web hosting trademarks, yet supplying the very same thing: mostly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98 percent of the web hosting offers on the whole web hosting marketplace provide literally the same solution: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based website hosting prices are similar. Quite identical. Giving those in need of a top web hosting service virtually no other website hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel alternative. Thus, there is only one single fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting brands in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2, mind that one...

Two hundred thousand "website hosting providers", all cPanel-based, yet diversely dubbed

The website hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offerings" Google presents to all of us boil down to just one and the same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are only a normal fellow who's not very well aware of (as the majority of us) with the web page development processes and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the separate domains and sites. Are you ready to make your web hosting pick? Is there any hosting option you can opt for? Of course there is, these days there are more than two hundred thousand hosting vendors in existence. Officially. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these more than two hundred thousand different web hosting brand names worldwide will give you the very same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, labeled in a different way, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how vast the variety on today's website hosting marketplace is... Period.

The website hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple mathematics reveals that to select a non-cPanel based web hosting corporation is an enormous strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that a phenomenon like that will occur! Less than 1 in fifty...

The pros and cons of the cPanel website hosting solution

Let's not be fierce with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and perhaps covered all web hosting industry demands. In brief, cPanel can do the trick if you have only one single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Sign Number One: An imbecilic domain folder configuration

If you have 2 or more domains, though, be extremely attentive not to delete completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each new hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are quite simple to remove on the server, since they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the very popular 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 delete the files of the add-on domains, please. Observe for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain name folder system is:

public_html (here my-default-domain.com is situated)
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 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 name)

Are you getting perplexed? We absolutely are!

Shortcoming Number Two: The very same e-mail folder setup

The email folder structure on the server is precisely the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin chaps strongly strengthen their belief in God when handling the email folders on the e-mail server, praying not to screw things up too badly.

Negative Side No.3: A thorough shortage of domain name manipulation sections

Do we need to bring up the total lack of a contemporary domain name manipulation menu - a location where you can: register/move/renew/park or manage domains, modify domain names' Whois information, secure the Whois details, change/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not include such a "contemporary" menu at all. That's a mammoth weakness. An unjustifiable one, we want to point out...

Disadvantage Number 4: Many login locations (minimum 2, maximum three)

What about the need for another login to use the invoicing, domain name and tech support administration user interface? That's aside from the cPanel account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based website hosting service provider. At times, on the basis of the invoicing transaction tool (principally designed for cPanel only) the cPanel website hosting service provider is using, the devoted clients can wind up with two additional logins (1: the invoicing transaction/domain administration software; 2: the ticket support platform), winding up with an aggregate of three user login places (counting cPanel).

Negative Sign Number Five: More than a hundred and twenty website hosting Control Panel departments to grasp... promptly

cPanel offers for your consideration more than a hundred and twenty departments inside the web hosting CP. It's a glorious idea to learn each and every one of them. And you'd better get familiar with them swiftly... That's excessively insolent on cPanel's side.

With all due appreciation, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel website hosting service providers:

As far as we know, it's not the year 2001, is it? Remark that one too...
