How Does cPanel Web Hosting Function?

For your info, it's good to be aware that most of the cPanel-based Web Hosting offerings on the present-day website hosting market are generated by a very insignificant business segment (when it comes to yearly money flow) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a type of a small-scale marketing niche, which supplies an immense number of different web hosting brands, yet furnishing strictly the same services: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because at least ninety eight percent of the website hosting offers on the whole website hosting marketplace furnish exactly the same service: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel-based Web Hosting prices are alike. Very identical. Leaving for those who need a top web hosting service virtually no other web hosting platform/website hosting CP option. Thus, there is just one single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand website hosting brand names in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than two percent, mark that one...

200,000 "Web Hosting vendors", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly labeled

The Web Hosting "diversity" and the website hosting "offerings" Google presents to all of us come down to just one and the very same solution: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different website hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are just an ordinary person who's not very familiar with (as most of us) with the web page creation processes and the website hosting platforms, which actually power the different domains and web sites. Are you ready to make your hosting pick? Is there any website hosting variant you can settle on? Sure there is, these days there are more than two hundred thousand hosting firms out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98% of these 200,000+ unique website hosting brands worldwide will give you strictly the same cPanel hosting CP and platform, named in a different way, with absolutely the same price tags! WOW! That's how big the diversity on the present-day web hosting market is... Full stop.

The Web Hosting LOTTO we are all part of

Simple arithmetic shows that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting company is a big stroke of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that an event like that will occur! Less than one in fifty...

The pros and cons of the cPanel Web Hosting solution

Let's not be fierce with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and possibly answered all web hosting market requirements. To put it briefly, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have just a single domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Weak Point Number One: A laughable domain folder configuration

If you have two or more domain names, though, be very careful not to delete fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each subsequent hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domain names are very easy to remove on the hosting server, since they all are located into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to erase the files of the add-on domains, please. Determine for yourself how excellent cPanel's domain folder system is:

Are you getting nonplussed? We positively are!

Negative Aspect No.2: The very same mail folder configuration

The e-mail folder configuration on the web server is exactly the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the same error twice?!? The admin guys strongly enhance their belief in God when coping with the e-mail folders on the email server, hoping not to screw things up too seriously.

Drawback No.3: A sheer deficiency of domain management menus

Do we need to refer to the entire lack of a contemporary domain manipulation tool - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or administer domain names, change domains' Whois details, protect the Whois details, change/create nameservers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not provide such a "modern" menu at all. That's a big problem. An unforgettable one, we wish to add...

Problem No.4: Many login places (minimum two, max three)

What about the necessity for another login to utilize the invoice transaction, domain and technical support administration software platform? That's beside the cPanel login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel-based Web Hosting supplier. At times, on the basis of the invoicing transaction platform (especially conceived for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel Web Hosting provider is making use of, the ardent customers can end up with two extra login locations (1: the billing transaction/domain management GUI; 2: the ticket support software), ending up with a total of three login places (including cPanel).

Inconvenience Number 5: More than one hundred and twenty web hosting Control Panel areas to learn... quickly

cPanel offers for your consideration 120+ departments inside the website hosting CP. It's a great idea to grasp each and every one of them. And you'd better grasp them quickly... That's extremely impudent on cPanel's side.

With all due respect, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel Web Hosting corporations:

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