How does cpanel hosting function?

For your information, it's good to know that most of the cPanel-based web page hosting offers on the present-day webspace hosting market are supplied by a very insubstantial business niche (as far as yearly cash flow is concerned) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller website hosting is a sort of a small-sized marketing segment, which supplies a great quantity of different web hosting trademarks, yet supplying precisely the same thing: mostly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98% of the website hosting offers on the whole hosting market supply the very same thing: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel web hosting prices are identical. Very identical. Leaving for those who demand a top web hosting service virtually no other web site hosting platform/web hosting Control Panel alternative. So, there is just a single fact: out of more than 200k web site hosting trademarks worldwide, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2, mark that one...

200k "webspace hosting firms", all cPanel-based, yet diversely dubbed

The web hosting "diversity" and the webspace hosting "offers" Google presents to us boil down to just one thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different hosting brand names. Assume you are just a normal person who's not well aware of (as most of us) with the web site making processes and the hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domains and websites . Are you ready to make your web hosting pick? Is there any site hosting option you can choose? Of course there is, as of now there are more than two hundred thousand website hosting distributors in existence. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these more than two hundred thousand unique website hosting brand names all over the world will offer you precisely the same cPanel site hosting Control Panel and platform, branded differently, with the same price tags! WOW! That's how large the variety on today's web hosting marketplace is... Period.

The web page hosting LOTTERY we are all paricipating in

Simple math reveals that to encounter a non-cPanel based web hosting supplier is a gigantic stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that a thing like that will take place! Less than 1 in fifty...

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel web site hosting solution

Let's not be harsh with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and presumably fulfilled most website hosting business preconditions. To put it briefly, cPanel can do the job for you if you have just one single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Point No.1: A foolish domain name folder arrangement

If you have two or more domains, however, be very careful not to remove completely 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 domain names are quite easy to remove on the web hosting server, because they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to remove the files of the add-on domains, please. Discover for yourself how good 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 name)

Are you becoming nonplussed? We surely are!

Inconvenience Number 2: The very same e-mail folder arrangement

The electronic mail folder configuration on the web server is exactly the same as that of the domains... Repeating the same error twice?!? The admin chaps strongly enhance their faith in God when handling the email folders on the electronic mail server, praying not to fuck things up too irreparably.

Negative Aspect No.3: An utter deficiency of domain name management sections

Do we need to refer to the absolute absence of a contemporary domain name manipulation platform - a location where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or manage domain names, change domain names' Whois details, protect the Whois information, alter/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not incorporate such a "modern" user interface at all. That's a great shortcoming. An unjustifiable one, we wish to add...

Negative Sign No.4: Multiple user login locations (min two, max three)

How about the need for another login to access the invoicing, domain name and tech support management platform? That's aside from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel website hosting supplier. At times, on the basis of the billing transaction system (especially designed for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting distributor is making use of, the zealous customers can end up with 2 additional login places (1: the billing/domain management tool; 2: the trouble ticket support platform), winding up with an aggregate of three user login locations (including cPanel).

Predicament Number Five: More than 120 website hosting CP sections to become familiar with... briskly

cPanel offers to your attention more than a hundred and twenty sections inside the website hosting CP. It's a great idea to get to know each of them. And you'd better pick them up rapidly... That's way too arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due veneration, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel webspace hosting providers:

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