How does cpanel-based site hosting work?

For your info, it's good to know that most of the cPanel web page hosting offerings on the present website hosting market are furnished by a quite insignificant marketing segment (as far as annual money flow is concerned) called reseller hosting. Reseller webspace hosting is a kind of a small-sized marketing niche, which generates a vast quantity of different web hosting brands, yet supplying one and the same thing: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because at least 98 percent of the site hosting offers on the whole site hosting marketplace offer strictly the same thing: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based web space hosting price tags are similar. Very identical. Leaving for those who need a top web hosting service almost no other web space hosting platform/webspace hosting Control Panel option. So, there is just a single fact: out of more than 200k hosting brands worldwide, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than two percent, remark that one...

200k "web site hosting service providers", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly labeled

The webspace hosting "diversity" and the website hosting "offers" Google shows to us come down to merely one and the same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web site hosting brand names. Suppose you are merely a normal chap who's not very familiar with (as most of us) with the web page creation processes and the web space hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domain names and web pages . Are you ready to make your hosting pick? Is there any web space hosting variant you can decide upon? Sure there is, as of now there are more than 200k web page hosting suppliers in existence. Officially. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200,000+ unique hosting brands in the world will give you the same cPanel web site hosting CP and platform, dubbed in a different way, with absolutely the same price tags! WOW! That's how huge the assortment on today's web page hosting market is... Period.

The web space hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple arithmetic reveals that to encounter a non-cPanel based web hosting provider is a gigantic strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in 50 chance that something like that will happen! Less than one in fifty...

The strengths and weaknesses of the cPanel webspace hosting solution

Let's not be unfair with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and probably satisfied most web hosting market requirements. In short, cPanel can do the trick if you have just one domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Problem No.1: A dumb domain name folder arrangement

If you have two or more domains, however, be ultra careful not to delete fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each new hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domain names are quite simple to delete on the web hosting server, since they all are set up into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to erase the files of the add-on domain names, please. Check for yourself how excellent cPanel's domain folder configuration 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)
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)

Are you growing perplexed? We certainly are!

Negative Side Number Two: The same electronic mail folder configuration

The electronic mail folder structure on the hosting server is literally the same as that of the domains... Repeating the same error twice?!? The admin boys firmly strengthen their belief in God when handling the e-mail folders on the email server, hoping not to muck things up too irreparably.

Negative Sign Number 3: A thorough lack of domain manipulation tools

Do we have to mention the complete deficiency of a contemporary domain name management GUI - a location where you can: register/move/renew/park or manage domain names, alter domain names' Whois details, protect the Whois details, modify/create nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not furnish such a "modern" GUI at all. That's a great disadvantage. An unforgettable one, we want to add...

Predicament Number 4: Numerous user login locations (minimum two, maximum 3)

How about the necessity for another login to make use of the billing transaction, domain name and tech support administration software solution? That's apart from the cPanel account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based hosting provider. Sometimes, on the basis of the billing transaction system (principally meant for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting vendor is using, the enthusiastic users can end up with 2 additional login places (1: the invoice transaction/domain name administration interface; 2: the trouble ticket support menu), winding up with an aggregate of three login places (including cPanel).

Weakness No.5: More than 120 website hosting CP sections to memorize... promptly

cPanel presents for your consideration more than 120 menus inside the web space hosting Control Panel. It's a fabulous idea to get familiar with each one of them. And you'd better get to know them rapidly... That's very arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due respect, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based web space hosting service providers:

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