What Does cPanel Website Hosting Represent?

For your info, it's good to be aware that most of the cPanel web hosting offers on the present website hosting market are generated by a quite insubstantial business niche (when it comes to annual money flow) known as hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a sort of a small-sized business segment, which provides an enormous amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet furnishing literally the same solutions: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Due to the fact that at least 98% of the website hosting offers on the entire web hosting market furnish strictly the same thing: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel web hosting prices are similar. Very similar. Leaving for those who require a top web hosting service practically no other web hosting platform/CP option. Thus, there is only one single fact: out of more than 200k website hosting brand names in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than two percent, mark that one...

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

The web hosting "diversity" and the website hosting "offers" Google presents to all of us come down to merely one and the same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different website hosting trademarked names. Suppose you are merely a normal person who's not well aware of (as most of us) with the website creation procedures and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the individual domain names and web sites. Are you ready to make your hosting selection? Is there any web hosting alternative you can select? Sure there is, today there are more than 200,000 web hosting corporations out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these more than two hundred thousand different web hosting brands worldwide will give you literally the same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, named differently, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how big the variety on today's website hosting market is... Period.

The web hosting LOTTO we are all part of

Simple arithmetic demonstrates that to pick a non-cPanel based web hosting provider is an immense strike of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that something like that will happen! Less than 1 in fifty...

The positive and negative points of the cPanel-based web hosting solution

Let's not be merciless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and presumably satisfied most web hosting market preconditions. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the trick if you have just a single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Negative Sign Number 1: An idiotic domain name folder structure

If you have two or more domain names, however, be extremely careful not to delete fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each next hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domain names are very easy to delete on the server, since they all are set up into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to erase the files of the add-on domain names, please. Observe for yourself how excellent cPanel's domain folder system is:

Are you getting baffled? We certainly are!

Negative Point Number Two: The same electronic mail folder setup

The email folder configuration on the web hosting server is strictly the same as that of the domains... Making the same error twice?!? The admin boys strongly enhance their belief in God when managing the email folders on the mail server, hoping not to muck things up too severely.

Predicament No.3: A thorough shortage of domain manipulation options

Do we need to mention the thorough shortage of a modern domain management platform - a place where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or manage domain names, modify domain names' Whois details, secure the Whois details, edit/create name servers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not incorporate such a "contemporary" section at all. That's a vast downside. An unforgivable one, we would like to point out...

Weak Side No.4: Multiple user login places (min two, maximum three)

How about the demand for another login to use the invoicing transaction, domain name and technical support management software platform? That's apart from the cPanel account login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel-based web hosting company. At times, on the basis of the invoicing transaction platform (particularly designed for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting firm is availing of, the devoted customers can end up with two additional logins (1: the invoice transaction/domain name management user interface; 2: the trouble ticket support interface), ending up with an aggregate of three login places (including cPanel).

Negative Point Number Five: More than 120 CP sections to pick up... briskly

cPanel presents to your attention more than one hundred and twenty menus inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's an excellent idea to grasp each one of them. And you'd better become acquainted with them quickly... That's quite impudent on cPanel's side.

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

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