cPanel Hosting Definition

For your info, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel web hosting offerings on the contemporary hosting marketplace are supplied by a very inconsiderable marketing niche (as far as yearly cash flow is concerned) called hosting reseller. Reseller web hosting is a type of a small-size marketing niche, which provides a huge quantity of different web hosting brand names, yet offering literally the same solutions: mainly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Due to the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the web hosting offerings on the entire website hosting market provide precisely the same thing: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel-based web hosting prices are similar. Quite similar. Giving those who need a top web hosting service virtually no other web hosting platform/web hosting Control Panel option. So, there is only one fact: out of more than two hundred thousand website hosting trademarks around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than 2 percent, mark that one...

200,000 "web hosting corporations", all cPanel-based, yet differently branded

The web hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offers" Google reveals to us come down to merely one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different web hosting trademarked names. Assume you are simply an average guy who's not very familiar with (as most of us) with the site development procedures and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the various domain names and web pages. Are you prepared to make your hosting selection? Is there any website hosting alternative you can pick? Sure there is, nowadays there are more than 200,000 web hosting service providers in existence. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these more than two hundred thousand unique website hosting brand names around the world will give you exactly the same cPanel web hosting CP and platform, dubbed differently, with literally the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the diversity on today's website hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The web hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple math demonstrates that to pick a non-cPanel based web hosting service provider is a gigantic stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that an event like that will happen! Less than 1 in fifty...

The positive and negative points of the cPanel web hosting solution

Let's not be relentless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and possibly satisfied all web hosting business demands. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the trick if you have only one single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Shortcoming Number One: A stupid domain folder configuration

If you have two or more domains, though, be extra attentive not to delete completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each subsequent hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domain names are very easy to erase on the server, since they all are set up into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder located 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. Discover for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain folder arrangement 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 name)
public_html/my-second-wife (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-second-wife.net (an add-on domain)
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 getting nonplussed? We clearly are!

Negative Point Number Two: The same email folder arrangement

The mail folder structure on the web server is exactly the same as that of the domains... Making the same error twice?!? The admin blokes strongly reinforce their belief in God when coping with the email folders on the e-mail server, praying not to mess things up too gravely.

Weakness Number Three: A thorough deficiency of domain management options

Do we need to mention the thorough absence of a modern domain manipulation user interface - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or manage domains, change domain names' Whois details, shield the Whois information, alter/create name servers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not furnish such a "modern" user interface at all. That's a mammoth shortcoming. An unjustifiable one, we would like to point out...

Weak Point Number Four: Many login locations (minimum 2, max 3)

What about the need for an extra login to utilize the billing, domain and technical support management user interface? That's apart from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel-based web hosting vendor. Occasionally, on the basis of the invoice transaction tool (particularly intended for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting provider is using, the zealous users can end up with two additional logins (1: the invoice transaction/domain name management interface; 2: the ticket support platform), ending up with an aggregate of three login locations (including cPanel).

Disadvantage Number 5: 120+ web hosting CP areas to get familiar with... promptly

cPanel offers to your attention 120+ areas inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's a fantastic idea to get familiar with each one of them. And you'd better grasp them fast... That's very arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel web hosting companies:

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