How does cpanel-based hosting operate?

For your information, it's good to be aware that the majority of the cPanel web hosting offerings on the present-day hosting market are supplied by a very insignificant business segment (when it comes to yearly cash flow) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller web hosting is a type of a small-size marketing niche, which generates an enormous quantity of different web hosting trademarks, yet furnishing exactly the same thing: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because at least ninety eight percent of the hosting offerings on the whole web space hosting marketplace supply exactly the same thing: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based web site hosting price tags are similar. Very identical. Giving those who require a top web hosting service almost no other website hosting platform/site hosting CP choice. So, there is merely one single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand web page hosting trademarks around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than two percent, note that one...

200k "web hosting suppliers", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly dubbed

The web hosting "variety" and the web site hosting "offers" Google reveals to all of us boil down to merely one thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are simply an ordinary fellow who's not very well acquainted with (as most of us) with the web page development procedures and the hosting platforms, which in fact power the separate domain names and sites . Are you ready to make your hosting pick? Is there any web page hosting alternative you can settle on? Of course there is, at the moment there are more than 200,000 web site hosting distributors in existence. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ different web site hosting brand names around the world will offer you exactly the same cPanel web site hosting CP and platform, labeled in a different way, with exactly the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the variety on the present website hosting market is... Full stop.

The webspace hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

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

The upsides and downsides of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be pitiless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and possibly answered all web site hosting market requirements. In short, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have just one domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Shortcoming Number One: A laughable domain folder structure

If you have 2 or more domains, however, be very careful not to remove entirely 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 delete on the server, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to delete the files of the add-on domains, please. Determine for yourself how marvelous 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 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 name)
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 baffled? We surely are!

Negative Point No.2: The very same e-mail folder arrangement

The mail folder arrangement on the hosting server is strictly the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the very same error twice?!? The sysadmin blokes strongly enhance their belief in God when managing the mail folders on the email server, praying not to screw things up too irreparably.

Negative Sign No.3: A thorough lack of domain name management menus

Do we need to mention the sheer lack of a contemporary domain management menu - a location where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or manage domain names, alter domain names' Whois info, protect the Whois details, edit/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not supply such a "modern" interface at all. That's a gigantic predicament. An unforgettable one, we want to point out...

Disadvantage Number Four: Numerous login places (min 2, max 3)

How about the need for an additional login to avail of the invoicing, domain and tech support management platform? That's beside the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel-based web space hosting company. Occasionally, based on the billing platform (principally meant for cPanel only) the cPanel web hosting corporation is making use of, the eager customers can wind up with 2 extra login locations (1: the billing transaction/domain administration platform; 2: the trouble ticket support software platform), ending up with a total of 3 user login locations (counting cPanel).

Weak Point Number 5: More than 120 CP sections to learn... briskly

cPanel presents for your consideration more than 120 departments inside the website hosting CP. It's a glorious idea to become familiar with each one of them. And you'd better pick them up briskly... That's quite insolent on cPanel's side.

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

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