Description of cPanel Website Hosting

For your info, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel website hosting offers on the present-day web hosting market are furnished by a very unsubstantial marketing niche (as far as annual capital flow is concerned) called reseller hosting. Reseller website hosting is a type of a small-size business niche, which furnishes a huge quantity of different web hosting brands, yet furnishing the very same thing: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98 percent of the web hosting offers on the entire website hosting market provide one and the same service: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel-based website hosting price tags are alike. Very similar. Leaving for those in need of a top web hosting service virtually no other website hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel option. So, there is simply one fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting brand names in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than two percent, mind that one...

Two hundred thousand "website hosting service providers", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly dubbed

The website hosting "variety" and the web hosting "offerings" Google presents to all of us come down to merely one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web hosting trademarked names. Assume you are just an ordinary bloke who's not very well aware of (as the majority of us) with the web site creation processes and the hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domains and web portals. Are you ready to make your web hosting pick? Is there any web hosting alternative you can settle on? Of course there is, these days there are more than two hundred thousand website hosting firms out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98% of these more than two hundred thousand different website hosting brand names around the world will give you precisely the same cPanel web hosting CP and platform, named in a different way, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how large the assortment on the present web hosting market is... Period.

The website hosting LOTTO we are all participating in

Simple math demonstrates that to pick a non-cPanel based web hosting distributor is an immense stroke of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that a thing like that will happen! Less than 1 in fifty...

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

Let's not be merciless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and possibly covered all web hosting market preconditions. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the job for you if you have just a single domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Drawback Number 1: A laughable domain name folder arrangement

If you have 2 or more domains, however, be ultra watchful not to delete fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each subsequent 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 hosting server, because they all are created into the root folder of the default domain, which is the very popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder located inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to delete the files of the add-on domains, please. Decide for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain folder system is:

Are you growing confused? We unquestionably are!

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

The mail folder configuration on the web server is exactly the same as that of the domain names... Making the very same error twice?!? The admin chums firmly reinforce their faith in God when managing the e-mail folders on the electronic mail server, hoping not to muck things up too gravely.

Weak Side Number Three: An entire absence of domain name management menus

Do we have to cite the complete shortage of a modern domain management tool - a place where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or manage domain names, change domains' Whois information, shield the Whois details, modify/create nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not include such a "contemporary" tool at all. That's a colossal disadvantage. An unforgivable one, we would like to point out...

Weak Point Number 4: Many user login places (min two, max 3)

How about the necessity for another login to make use of the billing transaction, domain name and tech support administration platform? That's apart from the cPanel login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel-based website hosting supplier. Occasionally, based on the invoicing platform (especially devised for cPanel solely) the cPanel website hosting corporation is availing of, the ardent customers can wind up with two extra logins (1: the invoicing/domain name management user interface; 2: the trouble ticket support software), winding up with an aggregate of three login locations (counting cPanel).

Weak Point Number 5: More than a hundred and twenty web hosting Control Panel menus to get familiar with... swiftly

cPanel offers to your attention more than a hundred and twenty areas inside the web hosting Control Panel. It's a great idea to get acquainted with each and every one of them. And you'd better become acquainted with them swiftly... That's excessively impudent on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel website hosting companies:

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