How cPanel Website Hosting Functions

For your info, it's good to know that most of the cPanel Website Hosting offerings on the present website hosting market are furnished by a quite inconsiderable business segment (when it comes to annual capital flow) known as reseller hosting. Reseller website hosting is a type of a small-size marketing niche, which furnishes an immense amount of different web hosting brands, yet furnishing strictly the same thing: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because of the fact that at least 98 percent of the web hosting offers on the entire website hosting marketplace provide exactly the same thing: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel Website Hosting prices are similar. Quite similar. Leaving for those who need a top web hosting service virtually no other website hosting platform/website hosting CP option. So, there is simply one fact: out of more than 200k website hosting brand names all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than 2 percent, remark that one...

200,000 "Website Hosting providers", all cPanel-based, yet differently dubbed

The Website Hosting "variety" and the web hosting "offerings" Google shows to all of us come down to just one and the same solution: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different website hosting brand names. Suppose you are merely an average fellow who's not very well aware of (as the majority of us) with the site creation procedures and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domains and web sites. Are you ready to make your hosting selection? Is there any website hosting option you can decide upon? Sure there is, as of now there are more than two hundred thousand web hosting corporations in existence. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98% of these 200,000+ different web hosting brand names across the world will give you strictly the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, branded differently, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how huge the assortment on the present web hosting market is... Period.

The Website Hosting LOTTO we are all part of

Simple arithmetic reveals that to pick a non-cPanel based web hosting firm is a colossal stroke of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that an event like that will take place! Less than one in fifty...

The upsides and downsides of the cPanel-based Website Hosting solution

Let's not be severe with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and presumably met most web hosting industry preconditions. To put it briefly, cPanel can do the trick if you have only a single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Negative Side No.1: A laughable domain folder setup

If you have 2 or more domain names, though, be extra cautious not to remove fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each new hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are quite simple to remove on the server, since they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain 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 domains, please. Examine for yourself how amazing cPanel's domain name folder arrangement is:

Are you growing disorientated? We definitely are!

Negative Side Number 2: The same e-mail folder system

The e-mail folder configuration on the server is literally the same as that of the domains... Making the same error twice?!? The admin chums strongly enhance their faith in God when managing the electronic mail folders on the mail server, praying not to bungle things up too badly.

Inconvenience No.3: A total deficiency of domain administration GUIs

Do we need to cite the thorough deficiency of a modern domain administration GUI - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or manage domains, modify domains' Whois info, shield the Whois details, change/set up nameservers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not involve such a "contemporary" menu at all. That's a great disadvantage. An unpardonable one, we want to add...

Inconvenience Number Four: Many user login locations (minimum 2, maximum 3)

How about the need for another login to make use of the invoicing transaction, domain and technical support administration section? That's aside from the cPanel login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based Website Hosting firm. Sometimes, based on the invoicing system (especially intended for cPanel solely) the cPanel Website Hosting provider is using, the avid clients can end up with two extra login places (1: the invoice transaction/domain management software; 2: the ticket support software), winding up with an aggregate of three user login locations (counting cPanel).

Problem No.5: More than 120 web hosting CP sections to get to know... rapidly

cPanel offers to your attention more than a hundred and twenty sections inside the website hosting CP. It's a fine idea to pick up each and every one of them. And you'd better pick them up promptly... That's quite insolent on cPanel's side.

With all due respect, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel Website Hosting companies:

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