How does cpanel-based site hosting function?

For your info, it's useful to know that the majority of the cPanel-based site hosting offerings on the contemporary web space hosting marketplace are generated by a very insubstantial business niche (when it comes to yearly cash flow) called hosting reseller. Reseller webspace hosting is a sort of a small-sized business segment, which provides a great quantity of different web hosting brands, yet offering literally the same thing: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because of the fact that at least 98 percent of the website hosting offerings on the entire webspace hosting marketplace offer precisely the same service: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel web hosting price tags are alike. Very much alike. Leaving for those in need of a top web hosting service practically no other website hosting platform/web page hosting CP option. So, there is simply one single fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting trademarks around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than two percent, note that one...

200,000 "web page hosting providers", all cPanel-based, yet differently dubbed

The site hosting "variety" and the web space hosting "offerings" Google shows to us come down to merely one and the same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different webspace hosting trademarked names. Suppose you are simply a normal guy who's not well aware of (as most of us) with the web page creation processes and the hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domain names and web portals . Are you prepared to make your hosting decision? Is there any website hosting option you can opt for? Sure there is, as of now there are more than 200,000 web space hosting corporations in existence. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ unique web hosting brands worldwide will give you the very same cPanel hosting Control Panel and platform, branded differently, with strictly the same price tags! WOW! That's how enormous the assortment on the present-day web space hosting market is... Period.

The web site hosting LOTTERY we are all paricipating in

Simple mathematics shows that to run into a non-cPanel based web hosting corporation is a big strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that an event like that will happen! Less than 1 in 50...

The pluses and minuses of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be merciless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and probably covered all web hosting business prerequisites. In brief, cPanel can do the trick if you have just a single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Disadvantage No.1: A dumb domain folder system

If you have two or more domains, however, be extremely cautious not to remove completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each subsequent hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domain names are very easy to remove on the web hosting server, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder located inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to remove the files of the add-on domains, please. Check for yourself how amazing cPanel's domain folder system 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 name)
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 growing nonplussed? We undoubtedly are!

Negative Point Number 2: The same electronic mail folder system

The e-mail folder arrangement on the web hosting server is strictly the same as that of the domains... Repeating the same error twice?!? The sysadmin guys strongly strengthen their belief in God when tackling the email folders on the electronic mail server, praying not to mess things up too fatally.

Weakness No.3: A complete shortage of domain name management menus

Do we need to mention the complete lack of a contemporary domain name management menu - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or manage domain names, change domains' Whois information, protect the Whois information, alter/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not incorporate such a "contemporary" GUI at all. That's a great weakness. An inexcusable one, we wish to add...

Weakness No.4: Multiple user login locations (min 2, max 3)

How about the necessity for an extra login to avail of the billing transaction, domain and tech support administration platform? That's aside from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel web site hosting supplier. At times, depending on the invoicing tool (particularly created for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel web hosting service provider is making use of, the enthusiastic customers can wind up with 2 additional login locations (1: the invoicing transaction/domain management system; 2: the trouble ticket support software platform), winding up with an aggregate of 3 user login locations (counting cPanel).

Negative Aspect Number 5: More than one hundred and twenty site hosting CP sections to get familiar with... promptly

cPanel offers to your attention more than a hundred and twenty menus inside the web site hosting CP. It's a fantastic idea to learn each one of them. And you'd better get acquainted with them promptly... That's excessively impudent on cPanel's side.

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

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