How does cpanel website hosting operate?

For your info, it's good to know that the majority of the cPanel-based web page hosting offers on the contemporary webspace hosting market are supplied by a quite inconsiderable business segment (when it comes to annual capital flow) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller site hosting is a type of a small-size marketing niche, which supplies a huge amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet providing one and the same thing: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because at least 98 percent of the hosting offers on the whole webspace hosting marketplace supply strictly the same solution: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel-based web space hosting price tags are alike. Very identical. Giving those in need of a top web hosting service almost no other website hosting platform/website hosting CP choice. So, there is simply one fact: out of more than 200,000 webspace hosting brand names worldwide, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2 percent, remark that one...

200,000 "site hosting companies", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly dubbed

The webspace hosting "diversity" and the web page hosting "offerings" Google presents to us boil down to merely one thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different web page hosting trademarked names. Assume you are just a regular guy who's not very well aware of (as the majority of us) with the web site making procedures and the web page hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domains and online portals . Are you prepared to make your hosting pick? Is there any web space hosting variant you can pick? Sure there is, as of now there are more than two hundred thousand website hosting suppliers out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200,000+ different web site hosting brand names all over the world will offer you exactly the same cPanel hosting Control Panel and platform, branded differently, with exactly the same price tags! WOW! That's how vast the diversity on the present web space hosting market is... Period.

The hosting LOTTO we are all paricipating in

Simple mathematics shows that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting service provider is a colossal strike of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that an event like that will occur! Less than one in 50...

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel website hosting solution

Let's not be relentless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and possibly met all hosting industry demands. In brief, cPanel can do the trick if you have just a single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Sign Number One: An imbecilic domain folder configuration

If you have two or more domains, though, be extra watchful not to erase fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each subsequent hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are quite simple to erase on the web hosting server, because they all are created into the root folder of the default domain name, 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 attempt not to remove the files of the add-on domain names, please. Verify for yourself how amazing cPanel's domain folder setup 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 name)
public_html/my-second-wife (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-second-wife.net (an add-on domain name)
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 name)

Are you growing baffled? We unquestionably are!

Weak Side Number Two: The very same email folder setup

The email folder configuration on the web hosting server is literally the same as that of the domain names... Making the same error twice?!? The admin blokes firmly increase their belief in God when dealing with the email folders on the mail server, praying not to mess things up too gravely.

Weakness Number 3: An utter lack of domain name administration interfaces

Do we need to mention the sheer deficiency of a contemporary domain name management user interface - a location where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or administer domain names, modify domains' Whois information, protect the Whois information, modify/set up nameservers (DNS) and DNS resource records? cPanel does not include such a "modern" menu at all. That's an enormous weakness. An unforgettable one, we wish to add...

Problem Number 4: Numerous user login places (min two, maximum 3)

How about the demand for an additional login to avail of the invoice transaction, domain and tech support administration menu? That's beside the cPanel account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel website hosting company. Now and then, on the basis of the invoice transaction system (principally built for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting corporation is availing of, the eager users can end up with 2 additional login places (1: the invoicing/domain name administration menu; 2: the ticket support software solution), winding up with a total of 3 login locations (counting cPanel).

Weakness Number 5: More than a hundred and twenty web space hosting Control Panel menus to become acquainted with... fast

cPanel presents for your consideration more than a hundred and twenty sections inside the web site hosting Control Panel. It's a wonderful idea to grasp each of them. And you'd better get to know them rapidly... That's way too impudent on cPanel's side.

With all due veneration, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel site hosting suppliers:

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