How does cpanel site hosting work?

For your information, it's useful to know that the majority of the cPanel hosting offerings on the contemporary web space hosting market are furnished by a quite insignificant business niche (as far as yearly cash flow is concerned) known as hosting reseller. Reseller site hosting is a kind of a small-size marketing segment, which provides a vast number of different web hosting trademarks, yet providing literally the same thing: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because of the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the webspace hosting offerings on the entire hosting marketplace provide precisely the same solution: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel webspace hosting price tags are alike. Very similar. Giving those who require a top web hosting service virtually no other site hosting platform/site hosting Control Panel option. Thus, there is just one single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand hosting trademarks all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2, remark that one...

200k "web space hosting corporations", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely dubbed

The webspace hosting "variety" and the web page hosting "offerings" Google presents to all of us boil down to merely one and the same solution: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are merely a regular fellow who's not very well familiar with (as most of us) with the site creation procedures and the web hosting platforms, which in fact power the separate domains and sites . Are you ready to make your hosting decision? Is there any site hosting alternative you can select? Of course there is, at present there are more than 200,000 web hosting firms out there. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200,000+ unique web page hosting brands worldwide will give you absolutely the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, dubbed differently, with absolutely the same price tags! WOW! That's how great the diversity on today's website hosting marketplace is... Period.

The web space hosting LOTTO we are all paricipating in

Simple math demonstrates that to chance upon a non-cPanel based web hosting provider is a gigantic stroke of fortune. There is a less than one in 50 chance that a phenomenon like that will take place! Less than one in fifty...

The positive and negative points of the cPanel web page hosting solution

Let's not be severe with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and presumably fulfilled all website hosting business preconditions. In brief, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have only a single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Drawback Number One: A laughable domain folder system

If you have two or more domains, though, be ultra attentive 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 domains are quite easy to delete on the hosting server, since they all are set up into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite well known 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 remove the files of the add-on domain names, please. Observe for yourself how marvelous cPanel's domain folder system is:

public_html (here my-default-domain.com is located)
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 name)
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 becoming disorientated? We categorically are!

Weak Point Number 2: The same e-mail folder system

The electronic mail folder configuration on the hosting server is precisely the same as that of the domains... Repeating the very same mistake twice?!? The admin guys strongly strengthen their belief in God when tackling the electronic mail folders on the mail server, hoping not to mess things up too severely.

Disadvantage Number 3: A sheer shortage of domain manipulation menus

Do we need to mention the sheer lack of a modern domain manipulation tool - a location where you can: register/move/renew/park or manage domain names, change domain names' Whois info, secure the Whois information, change/set up nameservers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not contain such a "contemporary" user interface at all. That's an immense problem. An unforgettable one, we want to point out...

Negative Aspect Number 4: Numerous login locations (min 2, max 3)

What about the necessity for another login to avail of the billing transaction, domain name and tech support management software solution? That's apart from the cPanel account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel web hosting provider. At times, on the basis of the billing transaction system (especially intended for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting distributor is availing of, the earnest users can end up with two additional logins (1: the invoice transaction/domain administration platform; 2: the trouble ticket support menu), winding up with a total of three user login places (including cPanel).

Problem Number Five: More than a hundred and twenty hosting Control Panel sections to get acquainted with... quickly

cPanel offers to your attention more than a hundred and twenty sections inside the web hosting CP. It's a marvelous idea to become acquainted with each and every one of them. And you'd better learn them promptly... That's extremely impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based web space hosting companies:

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