How does cpanel site hosting operate?

For your information, it's useful to know that the majority of the cPanel web hosting offers on the contemporary site hosting marketplace are provided by a very insubstantial marketing segment (when it comes to annual capital flow) known as hosting reseller. Reseller hosting is a kind of a small-size business segment, which furnishes an enormous amount of different web hosting brands, yet furnishing one and the same thing: mostly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because of the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the web site hosting offers on the entire web hosting marketplace offer the same thing: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel webspace hosting price tags are identical. Quite similar. Leaving for those who require a top web hosting service almost no other web site hosting platform/hosting Control Panel choice. So, there is simply one single fact: out of more than 200,000 web space hosting brand names in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than 2 percent, note that one...

200,000 "web space hosting companies", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely dubbed

The web hosting "diversity" and the web space hosting "offers" Google reveals to all of us boil down to just one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different web space hosting brand names. Suppose you are simply an average person who's not very familiar with (as most of us) with the website creation procedures and the web space hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domains and online portals . Are you ready to make your hosting pick? Is there any webspace hosting alternative you can pick? Of course there is, today there are more than two hundred thousand webspace hosting corporations out there. Officially. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200k+ unique web hosting brand names in the world will give you absolutely the same cPanel webspace hosting CP and platform, dubbed in a different way, with strictly the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the variety on the current website hosting marketplace is... Period.

The web page hosting LOTTO we are all paricipating in

Simple arithmetic demonstrates that to chance upon a non-cPanel based web hosting supplier is a huge stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that a phenomenon like that will occur! Less than 1 in fifty...

The pluses and minuses of the cPanel web hosting solution

Let's not be severe with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and possibly answered most site hosting market preconditions. In short, cPanel can do the trick if you have only one single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Predicament No.1: A laughable domain name folder configuration

If you have two or more domains, however, be extremely watchful not to delete completely 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 name). The files of the add-on domains are quite easy to erase on the web hosting server, because they all are located into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder located 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. Check for yourself how fabulous cPanel's domain name folder system is:

public_html (here my-default-domain.com is located)
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)
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)

Are you getting baffled? We unquestionably are!

Weak Side Number Two: The very same mail folder setup

The e-mail folder arrangement on the web hosting server is precisely the same as that of the domains... Making the very same error twice?!? The admin boys firmly reinforce their faith in God when coping with the e-mail folders on the electronic mail server, hoping not to botch things up too irreparably.

Problem No.3: An absolute deficiency of domain name administration options

Do we need to refer to the total lack of a contemporary domain name management platform - a place where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or administer domains, alter domain names' Whois info, secure the Whois details, alter/set up nameservers (DNS) and DNS resource records? cPanel does not supply such a "contemporary" menu at all. That's an enormous predicament. An unforgettable one, we would like to add...

Downside No.4: Multiple login locations (minimum two, maximum three)

What about the necessity for another login to make use of the invoicing, domain and tech support administration software platform? That's aside from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel web hosting company. Sometimes, depending on the billing tool (principally built for cPanel only) the cPanel web hosting provider is availing of, the ardent customers can wind up with two extra logins (1: the invoice transaction/domain management software platform; 2: the ticket support tool), ending up with an aggregate of 3 login locations (including cPanel).

Weak Point Number 5: More than 120 web hosting Control Panel areas to get acquainted with... briskly

cPanel presents to your attention more than a hundred and twenty menus inside the website hosting CP. It's a fabulous idea to become familiar with each one of them. And you'd better memorize them fast... That's excessively impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due veneration, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based hosting vendors:

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