cPanel Hosting Definition

For your information, it's useful to know that the majority of the cPanel hosting offers on the present web hosting marketplace are supplied by a quite inconsiderable marketing niche (when it comes to annual capital flow) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a type of a small marketing segment, which generates an immense number of different web hosting brand names, yet supplying absolutely the same thing: mostly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Due to the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the website hosting offerings on the entire web hosting market furnish one and the same thing: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel-based hosting prices are similar. Very much alike. Leaving for those who require a top web hosting service virtually no other website hosting platform/website hosting CP choice. So, there is just a single fact: out of more than 200,000 website hosting brand names around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2%, mind that one...

200,000 "hosting service providers", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely labeled

The hosting "variety" and the web hosting "offers" Google presents to us come down to just one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different website hosting trademarked names. Assume you are just an ordinary fellow who's not well aware of (as most of us) with the website making processes and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the respective domains and web portals. Are you ready to make your hosting decision? Is there any website hosting option you can select? Sure there is, nowadays there are more than 200k web hosting vendors out there. Officially. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ unique web hosting brands around the world will give you exactly the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, named in a different way, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the diversity on today's website hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple math demonstrates that to run into a non-cPanel based web hosting firm is an enormous strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that something like that will occur! Less than one in fifty...

The pluses and minuses of the cPanel-based hosting solution

Let's not be harsh with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and perhaps satisfied most web hosting business demands. In brief, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only one domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Problem Number One: A stupid domain folder arrangement

If you have two or more domain names, though, be very watchful not to remove fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each next hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are very easy to erase on the server, because they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain, 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 name. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to remove the files of the add-on domain names, please. See for yourself how amazing cPanel's domain folder structure 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)
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 name)

Are you growing bewildered? We absolutely are!

Predicament No.2: The same electronic mail folder arrangement

The electronic mail folder configuration on the web server is precisely the same as that of the domains... Making the very same mistake twice?!? The admin blokes strongly enhance their faith in God when dealing with the mail folders on the email server, hoping not to mess things up too harshly.

Negative Aspect No.3: An entire shortage of domain manipulation user interfaces

Do we have to refer to the complete deficiency of a contemporary domain management GUI - a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or administer domain names, modify domain names' Whois details, protect the Whois details, edit/create name servers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not furnish such a "modern" tool at all. That's an immense drawback. An inexcusable one, we wish to add...

Weak Point Number Four: Multiple user login locations (minimum 2, maximum three)

What about the need for an additional login to use the billing, domain name and tech support management section? That's beside the cPanel login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based hosting firm. Now and then, based on the invoice transaction platform (particularly intended for cPanel only) the cPanel hosting corporation is availing of, the zealous users can end up with 2 extra logins (1: the billing transaction/domain name administration software solution; 2: the trouble ticket support software platform), winding up with a total of three login locations (counting cPanel).

Negative Side Number 5: More than a hundred and twenty CP departments to become familiar with... promptly

cPanel presents to your attention more than a hundred and twenty menus inside the web hosting Control Panel. It's a fantastic idea to memorize each one of them. And you'd better grasp them briskly... That's inordinately impudent on cPanel's side.

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

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