cPanel Web Hosting Explanation

For your information, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel-based web hosting offers on today's website hosting marketplace are generated by a very unsubstantial business niche (when it comes to annual money flow) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller web hosting is a sort of a small business segment, which furnishes an enormous quantity of different web hosting brands, yet offering the very same services: mainly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Due to the fact that at least 98 percent of the website hosting offerings on the whole web hosting marketplace furnish exactly the same service: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel-based web hosting price tags are identical. Very much alike. Leaving for those who require a top web hosting service almost no other web hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel alternative. Thus, there is merely a single fact: out of more than 200k hosting trademarks all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than two percent, mark that one...

200k "web hosting corporations", all cPanel-based, yet differently dubbed

The web hosting "variety" and the website hosting "offers" Google shows to all of us boil down to merely one and the same solution: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different website hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are only a normal guy who's not very well acquainted with (as the majority of us) with the web page creation processes and the hosting platforms, which actually power the individual domain names and websites. Are you prepared to make your web hosting selection? Is there any hosting option you can choose? Sure there is, right now there are more than 200,000 website hosting distributors out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ different website hosting brands in the world will offer you exactly the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, branded in a different way, with strictly the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the variety on today's web hosting market is... Period.

The web hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple mathematics reveals that to come across a non-cPanel based web hosting supplier is a gigantic strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that a phenomenon like that will take place! Less than 1 in fifty...

The strengths and weaknesses of the cPanel-based web hosting solution

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

Problem No.1: A moronic domain name folder setup

If you have two or more domains, though, be extremely cautious not to erase 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 domain names are quite simple to remove on the hosting server, since they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to erase the files of the add-on domain names, please. Decide for yourself how terrific 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 name)

Are you becoming perplexed? We undeniably are!

Inconvenience Number Two: The same mail folder setup

The e-mail folder arrangement on the hosting server is absolutely the same as that of the domains... Repeating the same error twice?!? The sysadmin chums firmly reinforce their faith in God when tackling the email folders on the e-mail server, hoping not to mess things up too severely.

Negative Side Number 3: A complete lack of domain manipulation user interfaces

Do we have to bring up the utter shortage of a modern domain name management platform - a location where you can: register/move/renew/park or administer domains, alter domain names' Whois information, protect the Whois information, modify/create name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not incorporate such a "modern" section at all. That's a vast shortcoming. An unjustifiable one, we wish to add...

Negative Aspect No.4: Numerous user login places (minimum 2, max 3)

How about the demand for an additional login to make use of the billing, domain name and technical support administration software platform? That's aside from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel-based web hosting service provider. At times, on the basis of the billing system (principally conceived for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting distributor is using, the avid users can wind up with two additional login locations (1: the billing transaction/domain management system; 2: the ticket support platform), winding up with a total of three login places (including cPanel).

Weak Side No.5: 120+ CP sections to pick up... fast

cPanel presents to your attention more than 120 sections inside the web hosting Control Panel. It's a fantastic idea to become familiar with each of them. And you'd better pick them up promptly... That's quite insolent on cPanel's side.

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

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