cPanel Hosting Description

For your info, it's good to know that the majority of the cPanel-based web hosting offerings on the current website hosting marketplace are furnished by a quite insignificant business niche (as far as annual cash flow is concerned) known as hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a type of a small-sized marketing niche, which supplies an immense amount of different web hosting brands, yet offering one and the same solutions: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98 percent of the website hosting offerings on the whole web hosting marketplace offer the very same solution: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based web hosting prices are alike. Very much alike. Giving those who demand a top web hosting service almost no other web hosting platform/website hosting CP alternative. So, there is just one fact: out of more than 200k web hosting brands around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2 percent, remark that one...

200k "web hosting firms", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely named

The web hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offers" Google presents to us boil down to merely one and the same solution: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are simply an ordinary guy who's not well aware of (as the majority of us) with the site creation processes and the hosting platforms, which in fact power the different domains and web pages. Are you ready to make your web hosting selection? Is there any website hosting option you can pick? Sure there is, as of now there are more than 200k web hosting service providers out there. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98% of these more than two hundred thousand unique web hosting brand names in the world will give you the same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, dubbed differently, with strictly the same price tags! WOW! That's how big the diversity on the present-day hosting marketplace is... Period.

The web hosting LOTTO we are all part of

Simple arithmetic reveals that to chance upon a non-cPanel based web hosting distributor is a colossal stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that something like that will occur! Less than 1 in fifty...

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

Let's not be fierce with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and possibly fulfilled all web hosting business requirements. To put it briefly, cPanel can do the trick if you have just one domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Weak Side No.1: A moronic domain folder configuration

If you have two or more domain names, however, be very cautious not to remove entirely 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 simple to remove on the web server, because they all are located into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very 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 remove the files of the add-on domains, please. Determine for yourself how good cPanel's domain name folder configuration is:

Are you growing perplexed? We clearly are!

Negative Sign Number 2: The same e-mail folder setup

The electronic mail folder arrangement on the server is strictly the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the very same error twice?!? The sysadmin chums firmly enhance their belief in God when coping with the e-mail folders on the e-mail server, praying not to screw things up too severely.

Downside Number Three: A sheer deficiency of domain management interfaces

Do we need to mention the complete lack of a contemporary domain manipulation user interface - a place where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or manage domain names, change domains' Whois info, shield the Whois details, edit/set up nameservers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not offer such a "modern" tool at all. That's a gigantic inconvenience. An unpardonable one, we would like to add...

Predicament No.4: Numerous user login places (minimum two, max three)

How about the necessity for an additional login to access the invoicing, domain name and tech support management platform? That's apart from the cPanel account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel web hosting provider. Sometimes, on the basis of the invoicing platform (particularly intended for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting firm is making use of, the ardent customers can end up with two extra login places (1: the billing transaction/domain name management section; 2: the ticket support tool), ending up with an aggregate of three login places (counting cPanel).

Weak Point No.5: 120+ CP menus to get acquainted with... promptly

cPanel offers for your consideration 120+ menus inside the website hosting CP. It's a remarkable idea to grasp each one of them. And you'd better grasp them rapidly... That's very insolent on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel web hosting providers:

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