cPanel Hosting Unveiled

For your information, it's good to know that most of the cPanel-based website hosting offers on the contemporary web hosting marketplace are generated by a quite unsubstantial marketing segment (when it comes to annual capital flow) named hosting reseller. Reseller web hosting is a type of a small-scale marketing niche, which supplies a huge quantity of different web hosting brand names, yet furnishing one and the same services: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Owing to the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the website hosting offers on the whole hosting market offer the very same thing: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel website hosting price tags are identical. Very much alike. Leaving for those who demand a top web hosting service practically no other website hosting platform/web hosting Control Panel option. Thus, there is simply a single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand hosting brand names in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than two percent, mark that one...

Two hundred thousand "website hosting service providers", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely labeled

The website hosting "variety" and the web hosting "offers" Google shows to all of us come down to merely one and the same solution: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different web hosting brand names. Suppose you are just a regular guy who's not well aware of (as most of us) with the web page development processes and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the various domain names and sites. Are you ready to make your web hosting decision? Is there any web hosting variant you can opt for? Of course there is, today there are more than two hundred thousand website hosting vendors in existence. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200,000+ different hosting brands in the world will give you absolutely the same cPanel website hosting CP and platform, branded differently, with strictly the same price tags! WOW! That's how great the assortment on the present web hosting market is... Period.

The website hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple arithmetic reveals that to select a non-cPanel based web hosting corporation is a colossal stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that an event like that will happen! Less than 1 in fifty...

The upsides and downsides of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be relentless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and possibly met most website hosting industry preconditions. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the trick if you have just a single domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Sign Number One: A moronic domain name folder setup

If you have 2 or more domain names, however, be ultra cautious not to erase 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 domains are very easy to erase on the web server, since they all are placed 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 situated inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to delete the files of the add-on domain names, please. See for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain name folder structure is:

Are you growing disorientated? We surely are!

Downside Number Two: The same mail folder structure

The mail folder arrangement on the web hosting server is strictly the same as that of the domains... Making the same error twice?!? The admin boys strongly reinforce their belief in God when coping with the email folders on the mail server, praying not to botch things up too fatally.

Negative Aspect No.3: An entire absence of domain management options

Do we need to cite the thorough deficiency of a contemporary domain name manipulation tool - a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or administer domains, alter domain names' Whois details, protect the Whois info, alter/create name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not involve such a "contemporary" user interface at all. That's a huge shortcoming. An inexcusable one, we would like to point out...

Negative Aspect Number Four: Many login places (min 2, maximum three)

What about the necessity for an additional login to utilize the billing transaction, 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 firm. Occasionally, on the basis of the billing transaction system (particularly built for cPanel solely) the cPanel website hosting corporation is using, the zealous clients can wind up with two extra login places (1: the invoice transaction/domain management user interface; 2: the trouble ticket support platform), ending up with an aggregate of three user login places (including cPanel).

Problem No.5: More than 120 website hosting Control Panel departments to memorize... briskly

cPanel presents for your consideration 120+ areas inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's a great idea to get familiar with each one of them. And you'd better pick them up rapidly... That's excessively insolent on cPanel's side.

With all due respect, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based website hosting service providers:

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