cPanel Web Hosting Description

For your info, it's good to be aware that most of the cPanel-based website hosting offers on the present website hosting market are supplied by a quite insubstantial marketing segment (when it comes to annual money flow) named reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a type of a small-size marketing niche, which supplies an immense amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet offering the very same services: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98% of the web hosting offerings on the entire website hosting market furnish strictly the same service: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel website hosting price tags are alike. Very similar. Giving those who require a top web hosting service practically no other web hosting platform/website hosting CP choice. Thus, there is simply one fact: out of more than 200k website hosting brands in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than 2 percent, mark that one...

The website hosting "diversity" and the website hosting "offers" Google presents to all of us boil down to merely one and the same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different web hosting trademarked names. Assume you are merely an ordinary chap who's not very well familiar with (as the majority of us) with the site creation processes and the website hosting platforms, which actually power the respective domain names and online portals. Are you ready to make your hosting pick? Is there any web hosting option you can pick? Of course there is, these days there are more than 200,000 website hosting suppliers in existence. Officially. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200k+ unique web hosting brand names in the world will offer you literally the same cPanel hosting CP and platform, named in a different way, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how vast the variety on the current web hosting marketplace is... Period.

The website hosting LOTTO we are all part of

Simple arithmetic shows that to come across a non-cPanel based web hosting firm 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 50...

The strong and weak sides of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be harsh with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and perhaps answered most website hosting industry preconditions. In short, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only a single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Disadvantage No.1: A foolish domain folder setup

If you have 2 or more domains, though, be extra cautious not to delete entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each subsequent hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are quite easy to erase on the web server, since they all are set up into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain 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 domains, please. See for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain name folder system is:

public_html (here my-default-domain.com is placed)
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)
public_html/my-third-wife (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-third-wife.net (an add-on domain)
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 growing confused? We certainly are!

Downside Number 2: The same email folder arrangement

The email folder structure on the web server is literally the same as that of the domains... Repeating the same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin blokes strongly increase their belief in God when managing the electronic mail folders on the electronic mail server, hoping not to bungle things up too fatally.

Negative Aspect Number Three: An entire lack of domain administration interfaces

Do we have to refer to the absolute absence of a contemporary domain name administration interface - a location where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or manage domains, change domains' Whois details, protect the Whois info, change/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not contain such a "contemporary" tool at all. That's a major weakness. An unpardonable one, we would like to add...

Negative Aspect No.4: Multiple user login locations (minimum 2, max three)

How about the necessity for an extra login to utilize the billing, domain name and technical support administration section? That's apart from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel website hosting vendor. Sometimes, depending on the invoicing tool (principally tailored for cPanel solely) the cPanel website hosting supplier is utilizing, the devoted customers can wind up with two extra login locations (1: the invoice transaction/domain name management software platform; 2: the trouble ticket support tool), ending up with an aggregate of 3 user login places (including cPanel).

Downside No.5: More than one hundred and twenty website hosting Control Panel sections to pick up... swiftly

cPanel offers for your consideration more than one hundred and twenty areas inside the web hosting CP. It's a marvelous idea to become familiar with each one of them. And you'd better get to know them quickly... That's excessively impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel website hosting firms:

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