How does cpanel-based hosting function?

For your information, it's good to know that most of the cPanel webspace hosting offerings on the contemporary site hosting market are supplied by a very insubstantial marketing segment (when it comes to yearly cash flow) known as reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a kind of a small-scale business niche, which generates a huge amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet providing exactly the same solutions: mostly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Due to the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the web space hosting offers on the whole web space hosting marketplace supply one and the very same thing: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel web hosting price tags are identical. Very much alike. Giving those who require a top web hosting service virtually no other web page hosting platform/webspace hosting Control Panel option. So, there is just one single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand web page hosting brands all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than two percent, note that one...

200,000 "site hosting service providers", all cPanel-based, yet differently branded

The web hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offerings" Google shows to us boil down to merely one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different site hosting brand names.

Are you ready to make your web hosting selection? Is there any website hosting alternative you can choose? Sure there is, at the moment there are more than 200k web space hosting companies out there. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these more than two hundred thousand different web site hosting brands across the world will give you absolutely the same cPanel web space hosting Control Panel and platform, dubbed in a different way, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the assortment on the present-day web hosting marketplace is... Period.

The web space hosting LOTTO we are all paricipating in

Simple mathematics demonstrates that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting company is a colossal strike of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that a phenomenon like that will happen! Less than 1 in fifty...

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel-based webspace hosting solution

Let's not be harsh with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and possibly answered all site hosting business demands. In short, cPanel can do the job for you if you have just one single domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Problem Number One: An idiotic domain name folder arrangement

If you have two or more domains, though, be extra attentive not to remove completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each next hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are quite simple to delete on the web server, since they all are located into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite famous 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 remove the files of the add-on domains, please. Determine for yourself how terrific cPanel's domain folder configuration 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 name)
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 getting puzzled? We undoubtedly are!

Disadvantage Number 2: The very same mail folder arrangement

The mail folder arrangement on the server is strictly the same as that of the domains... Making the same error twice?!? The admin boys strongly increase their belief in God when tackling the e-mail folders on the mail server, hoping not to bungle things up too gravely.

Negative Sign No.3: An entire shortage of domain name management sections

Do we have to bring up the absolute shortage of a contemporary domain management platform - a location where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or administer domain names, edit domains' Whois information, shield the Whois information, change/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not contain such a "contemporary" interface at all. That's a colossal inconvenience. An unpardonable one, we would like to point out...

Negative Side Number 4: Many user login locations (min two, max three)

How about the need for an extra login to make use of the invoicing transaction, domain name and technical support management user interface? That's aside from the cPanel login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based web page hosting supplier. At times, on the basis of the invoice transaction system (particularly conceived for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting corporation is using, the earnest clients can end up with 2 additional login places (1: the billing/domain administration system; 2: the trouble ticket support user interface), winding up with an aggregate of 3 login locations (including cPanel).

Predicament Number Five: More than a hundred and twenty hosting Control Panel areas to become familiar with... fast

cPanel offers for your consideration 120+ sections inside the Control Panel. It's a fantastic idea to get acquainted with each and every one of them. And you'd better learn them rapidly... That's way too impertinent on cPanel's side.

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

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