How does cpanel site hosting operate?

For your information, it's good to know that the majority of the cPanel-based website hosting offerings on the contemporary web page hosting market are provided by a very inconsiderable business niche (when it comes to yearly cash flow) named hosting reseller. Reseller web space hosting is a type of a small-size business segment, which supplies an immense quantity of different web hosting brands, yet offering the very same solutions: mostly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Due to the fact that at least 98 percent of the website hosting offers on the whole site hosting market furnish precisely the same service: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel-based web space hosting prices are similar. Very identical. Giving those who need a top web hosting service practically no other web hosting platform/Control Panel alternative. So, there is merely one fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting brands all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than two percent, note that one...

200k "webspace hosting providers", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely named

The web space hosting "variety" and the web site hosting "offerings" Google presents to all of us boil down to merely one thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different hosting brand names. Assume you are merely a normal person who's not very familiar with (as most of us) with the site creation processes and the webspace hosting platforms, which actually power the respective domains and online portals . Are you prepared to make your hosting choice? Is there any web page hosting option you can settle on? Sure there is, nowadays there are more than 200k website hosting vendors in existence. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ different site hosting brand names across the world will give you strictly the same cPanel web page hosting CP and platform, labeled differently, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how huge the assortment on the current web hosting market is... Period.

The site hosting LOTTERY we are all paricipating in

Simple arithmetic shows that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting company is a mammoth stroke of fortune. There is a less than one in 50 chance that something like that will happen! Less than 1 in 50...

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel hosting solution

Let's not be pitiless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and possibly answered most site hosting industry prerequisites. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the trick if you have only one domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Drawback No.1: An idiotic domain name folder setup

If you have two or more domain names, however, be extra watchful not to erase completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each next hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domain names are very easy to erase on the web hosting server, since they all are located into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to delete the files of the add-on domain names, please. Examine for yourself how good cPanel's domain folder arrangement 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)
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 name)
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 getting disorientated? We categorically are!

Problem Number 2: The same electronic mail folder arrangement

The mail folder configuration on the hosting server is absolutely the same as that of the domains... Making the same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin blokes strongly reinforce their faith in God when coping with the e-mail folders on the electronic mail server, hoping not to screw things up too badly.

Negative Aspect Number 3: An absolute absence of domain administration options

Do we need to bring up the thorough shortage of a modern domain name management tool - a place where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or manage domain names, modify domain names' Whois info, shield the Whois details, modify/create nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not incorporate such a "contemporary" tool at all. That's a colossal inconvenience. An unforgivable one, we wish to add...

Disadvantage Number Four: Multiple user login places (minimum two, max 3)

What about the demand for an extra login to utilize the billing, domain and tech support management software? That's apart from the cPanel login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel web hosting service provider. Sometimes, based on the billing transaction platform (particularly intended for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel web hosting distributor is using, the earnest clients can wind up with 2 additional login places (1: the invoicing transaction/domain name administration menu; 2: the ticket support interface), ending up with an aggregate of three login places (counting cPanel).

Shortcoming No.5: 120+ website hosting Control Panel areas to pick up... rapidly

cPanel presents for your consideration 120+ areas inside the web space hosting CP. It's a fine idea to become familiar with each of them. And you'd better memorize them briskly... That's way too insolent on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel hosting corporations:

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