cPanel Web Hosting Description

For your info, it's useful to be aware that most of the cPanel Web Hosting offerings on the contemporary hosting marketplace are provided by a very inconsiderable marketing niche (when it comes to yearly cash flow) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a kind of a small-scale business niche, which generates a great quantity of different web hosting trademarks, yet offering one and the same thing: mainly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because of the fact that at least 98 percent of the web hosting offerings on the entire hosting marketplace furnish absolutely the same solution: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel Web Hosting price tags are similar. Quite similar. Giving those who require a top web hosting service almost no other website hosting platform/web hosting CP choice. So, there is only a single fact: out of more than 200k web hosting brand names worldwide, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2 percent, note that one...

200,000 "Web Hosting firms", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely branded

The Web Hosting "variety" and the web hosting "offerings" Google presents to all of us boil down to merely one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different web hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are just an average guy who's not very well aware of (as most of us) with the site development processes and the hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domain names and sites. Are you prepared to make your hosting decision? Is there any web hosting option you can select? Of course there is, at the moment there are more than 200,000 web hosting 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 all over the world will offer you strictly the same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, named differently, with strictly the same price tags! WOW! That's how big the diversity on the present-day web hosting market is... Period.

The Web Hosting LOTTO we are all participating in

Simple math demonstrates that to chance upon a non-cPanel based web hosting vendor is a huge strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that a thing like that will occur! Less than 1 in fifty...

The pros and cons of the cPanel-based Web Hosting solution

Let's not be pitiless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and possibly satisfied all web hosting industry demands. To put it briefly, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only one domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Sign No.1: An imbecilic domain name folder configuration

If you have two or more domains, though, be extremely watchful not to delete fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each new hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are quite simple to delete on the hosting server, because they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite well known 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. See for yourself how marvelous cPanel's domain folder system is:

Are you becoming puzzled? We unquestionably are!

Weakness Number 2: The same e-mail folder arrangement

The mail folder structure on the hosting server is absolutely the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the very same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin boys firmly reinforce their faith in God when handling the electronic mail folders on the e-mail server, hoping not to bungle things up too seriously.

Negative Side Number 3: A complete shortage of domain name administration interfaces

Do we have to mention the complete absence of a modern domain management tool - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or administer domains, edit domains' Whois details, secure the Whois details, edit/create name servers (DNS) and DNS resource records? cPanel does not furnish such a "modern" menu at all. That's a considerable inconvenience. An unforgivable one, we would like to add...

Negative Point Number 4: Many login locations (min 2, maximum three)

How about the necessity for an extra login to utilize the invoicing transaction, domain and technical support management software solution? That's apart from the cPanel login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel Web Hosting vendor. Now and then, based on the invoicing transaction platform (particularly invented for cPanel only) the cPanel Web Hosting provider is availing of, the ardent customers can end up with 2 additional logins (1: the billing transaction/domain management user interface; 2: the trouble ticket support tool), winding up with a total of 3 login places (counting cPanel).

Drawback Number 5: More than a hundred and twenty hosting CP departments to become familiar with... quickly

cPanel presents for your consideration more than one hundred and twenty menus inside the web hosting CP. It's a wonderful idea to pick up each of them. And you'd better pick them up rapidly... That's very impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due veneration, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based Web Hosting suppliers:

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