Definition of cPanel Website Hosting

For your info, it's good to be aware that most of the cPanel-based web hosting offers on the contemporary hosting market are supplied by a quite insubstantial marketing niche (as far as yearly cash flow is concerned) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a sort of a small-scale marketing niche, which provides a huge amount of different web hosting brand names, yet offering exactly the same thing: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because at least ninety eight percent of the hosting offers on the entire website hosting market furnish literally the same service: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel web hosting prices are identical. Very similar. Leaving for those in need of a top web hosting service virtually no other hosting platform/hosting CP option. Thus, there is just a single fact: out of more than 200k website hosting trademarks worldwide, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2 percent, mind that one...

200k "web hosting distributors", all cPanel-based, yet differently named

The web hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offerings" Google shows to all of us come down to just one thing: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different website hosting brand names. Suppose you are simply an average fellow who's not well aware of (as the majority of us) with the website creation processes and the hosting platforms, which actually power the various domain names and websites. Are you ready to make your web hosting pick? Is there any web hosting alternative you can choose? Of course there is, at the moment there are more than 200,000 web hosting companies in existence. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98% of these more than two hundred thousand different web hosting brand names across the world will give you absolutely the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, branded differently, with literally the same price tags! WOW! That's how vast the variety on the present-day web hosting market is... Period.

The web hosting LOTTO we are all part of

Simple arithmetic reveals that to choose a non-cPanel based web hosting provider is a huge strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that a phenomenon like that will happen! Less than 1 in 50...

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

Let's not be cruel with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and probably covered all hosting business requirements. To put it briefly, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only one single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Downside Number One: A stupid domain name folder configuration

If you have 2 or more domains, though, be ultra attentive not to erase fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each next hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are quite simple to erase on the web hosting server, since they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite famous 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 delete the files of the add-on domains, please. See for yourself how amazing cPanel's domain name folder configuration is:

Are you becoming confused? We undeniably are!

Negative Sign Number 2: The same electronic mail folder setup

The email folder configuration on the web hosting server is literally the same as that of the domains... Making the same error twice?!? The sysadmin boys firmly reinforce their belief in God when coping with the email folders on the electronic mail server, hoping not to muck things up too severely.

Disadvantage Number 3: An utter shortage of domain name management tools

Do we have to refer to the absolute shortage of a contemporary domain manipulation user interface - a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or manage domains, modify domain names' Whois info, protect the Whois info, change/set up name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not include such a "contemporary" section at all. That's a major predicament. An unjustifiable one, we would like to add...

Negative Side Number Four: Many login locations (min 2, max three)

How about the demand for an additional login to use the invoice transaction, domain and tech support management section? That's beside the cPanel account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel web hosting corporation. At times, based on the billing platform (principally made for cPanel only) the cPanel web hosting firm is utilizing, the avid clients can wind up with 2 additional login places (1: the invoicing transaction/domain administration software; 2: the trouble ticket support platform), winding up with a total of 3 login locations (counting cPanel).

Downside Number Five: 120+ web hosting Control Panel departments to become familiar with... swiftly

cPanel presents to your attention 120+ areas inside the website hosting CP. It's a fine idea to get to know each of them. And you'd better memorize them promptly... That's inordinately insolent on cPanel's side.

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

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