cPanel Hosting Revealed

For your info, it's useful to be aware that most of the cPanel-based web hosting offerings on today's website hosting marketplace are supplied by a quite unsubstantial marketing niche (when it comes to annual capital flow) named reseller hosting. Reseller website hosting is a type of a small marketing segment, which provides an immense number of different web hosting brands, yet offering one and the same solutions: mostly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Owing to the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the web hosting offers on the whole hosting market supply one and the same thing: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel-based web hosting prices are similar. Very identical. Leaving for those who require a top web hosting service virtually no other website hosting platform/website hosting CP option. Thus, 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%! Less than 2 percent, mind that one...

200,000 "web hosting providers", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely labeled

The web hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offerings" Google shows to us boil down to merely one thing: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different website hosting trademarked names. Suppose you are just a normal bloke who's not very well familiar with (as the majority of us) with the website creation processes and the website hosting platforms, which actually power the various domain names and web sites. Are you prepared to make your web hosting selection? Is there any website hosting alternative you can decide upon? Sure there is, right now there are more than 200,000 website hosting companies out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these more than two hundred thousand different web hosting brands all over the world will offer you exactly the same cPanel website hosting CP and platform, labeled in a different way, with exactly the same price tags! WOW! That's how enormous the diversity on the present-day web hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The web hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple math shows that to chance upon a non-cPanel based web hosting service provider is an enormous stroke of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that something like that will take place! Less than 1 in fifty...

The positive and negative sides of the cPanel web hosting solution

Let's not be relentless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and probably fulfilled all hosting industry prerequisites. To put it briefly, cPanel can do the trick if you have just a single domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Disadvantage Number 1: A moronic domain name folder setup

If you have two or more domain names, however, be extra watchful not to remove entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each new hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domain names are quite easy to delete on the server, because they all are located into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to erase the files of the add-on domains, please. Observe for yourself how fabulous cPanel's domain folder setup is:

public_html (here my-default-domain.com is situated)
public_html/my-family (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-second-domain.com (an add-on domain name)
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)
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 becoming nonplussed? We definitely are!

Weak Point Number 2: The same email folder arrangement

The mail folder arrangement on the server is absolutely the same as that of the domains... Repeating the same mistake twice?!? The admin guys strongly enhance their belief in God when handling the e-mail folders on the mail server, praying not to botch things up too badly.

Drawback Number 3: A total deficiency of domain manipulation GUIs

Do we have to cite the utter lack of a contemporary domain name administration tool - a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or manage domains, edit domain names' Whois details, protect the Whois info, modify/create name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not provide such a "contemporary" user interface at all. That's an enormous drawback. An unforgivable one, we would like to point out...

Predicament No.4: Many login places (min two, maximum three)

What about the demand for another login to avail of the billing transaction, domain name and tech support administration software solution? That's aside from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel web hosting company. Sometimes, depending on the billing tool (especially meant for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting firm is availing of, the keen customers can wind up with 2 extra logins (1: the invoicing transaction/domain management software; 2: the ticket support user interface), ending up with an aggregate of 3 login places (counting cPanel).

Problem Number Five: More than a hundred and twenty web hosting Control Panel departments to memorize... promptly

cPanel offers to your attention more than a hundred and twenty areas inside the website hosting CP. It's a glorious idea to become acquainted with each and every one of them. And you'd better get acquainted with them promptly... That's very arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due respect, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel web hosting corporations:

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