How does cpanel site hosting operate?

For your information, it's useful to be aware that most of the cPanel hosting offerings on the present web space hosting marketplace are furnished by a quite inconsiderable marketing niche (when it comes to yearly money flow) called hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a kind of a small marketing segment, which furnishes a big number of different web hosting trademarks, yet offering the very same services: mostly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because at least 98% of the site hosting offers on the whole web page hosting marketplace provide literally the same service: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel site hosting prices are similar. Quite similar. Leaving for those who demand a top web hosting service virtually no other website hosting platform/webspace hosting Control Panel choice. Thus, there is simply one fact: out of more than 200,000 hosting trademarks around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than two percent, note that one...

Two hundred thousand "website hosting suppliers", all cPanel-based, yet diversely named

The web page hosting "variety" and the hosting "offerings" Google shows to all of us boil down to just one thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web page hosting brand names. Imagine you are only an average guy who's not very well aware of (as the majority of us) with the web page creation procedures and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the different domains and web sites . Are you ready to make your web hosting pick? Is there any hosting variant you can decide upon? Sure there is, now there are more than 200,000 web hosting suppliers in existence. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98% of these more than two hundred thousand different web space hosting brand names in the world will give you precisely the same cPanel web space hosting CP and platform, named differently, with the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the assortment on the current site hosting market is... Full stop.

The web space hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple math demonstrates that to run into a non-cPanel based web hosting supplier is a huge stroke of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that a phenomenon like that will occur! Less than 1 in fifty...

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be cruel with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and possibly satisfied all web space hosting industry preconditions. In short, cPanel can do the trick if you have just a single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Weakness Number 1: An idiotic domain folder configuration

If you have two or more domain names, however, be extra careful not to erase entirely 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 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 name is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to delete the files of the add-on domains, please. Examine for yourself how terrific cPanel's domain name 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 growing disorientated? We unquestionably are!

Disadvantage Number 2: The very same mail folder structure

The mail folder configuration on the web server is strictly the same as that of the domain names... Making the very same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin chaps firmly reinforce their belief in God when coping with the electronic mail folders on the e-mail server, praying not to bungle things up too irretrievably.

Weak Side Number Three: A thorough deficiency of domain name administration menus

Do we need to bring up the sheer lack of a contemporary domain administration interface - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or administer domains, edit domains' Whois info, secure the Whois details, edit/create nameservers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not provide such a "modern" tool at all. That's a gigantic inconvenience. An inexcusable one, we wish to point out...

Predicament Number Four: Multiple user login places (min 2, max 3)

How about the necessity for an additional login to avail of the billing, domain name and technical support administration tool? That's beside the cPanel account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel-based website hosting supplier. Occasionally, on the basis of the invoice transaction platform (principally developed for cPanel only) the cPanel web hosting provider is utilizing, the ardent users can end up with two additional login locations (1: the invoicing transaction/domain administration platform; 2: the trouble ticket support interface), ending up with an aggregate of 3 user login locations (counting cPanel).

Problem Number 5: More than one hundred and twenty web page hosting CP menus to get to know... fast

cPanel offers for your consideration 120+ sections inside the website hosting CP. It's a fine idea to get acquainted with each of them. And you'd better become familiar with them briskly... That's extremely insolent on cPanel's side.

With all due veneration, 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? Remark that one too...
