How does cpanel-based website hosting operate?

For your information, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel-based webspace hosting offers on today's web space hosting marketplace are supplied by a quite unsubstantial business niche (as far as yearly cash flow is concerned) named reseller hosting. Reseller web hosting is a type of a small-size business segment, which furnishes an immense amount of different web hosting brands, yet offering precisely the same thing: chiefly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98% of the website hosting offerings on the whole site hosting marketplace provide precisely the same service: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel web space hosting price tags are identical. Quite similar. Giving those in need of a top web hosting service almost no other web site hosting platform/hosting CP choice. So, there is simply one fact: out of more than two hundred thousand website hosting brand names in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2%, mark that one...

200,000 "web hosting firms", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely branded

The hosting "diversity" and the site hosting "offerings" Google reveals to us come down to merely one and the same solution: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different web space hosting brand names. Imagine you are simply a normal guy who's not very well acquainted with (as the majority of us) with the site development processes and the website hosting platforms, which in fact power the individual domains and websites . Are you ready to make your web hosting decision? Is there any web site hosting variant you can choose? Sure there is, these days there are more than 200k web space hosting firms in existence. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98% of these more than two hundred thousand unique site hosting brands worldwide will give you precisely the same cPanel web page hosting Control Panel and platform, named in a different way, with literally the same price tags! WOW! That's how enormous the variety on today's web page hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The website hosting LOTTO we are all paricipating in

Simple mathematics reveals that to come across a non-cPanel based web hosting supplier is a mammoth strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that a thing like that will happen! Less than one in fifty...

The upsides and downsides of the cPanel-based web space hosting solution

Let's not be harsh with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and perhaps covered all website hosting market demands. In short, cPanel can do the trick if you have only a single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Aspect No.1: An imbecilic domain folder configuration

If you have two or more domain names, though, be ultra careful not to delete completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each next hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domain names are quite simple to delete on the hosting server, because they all are located into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder located inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to remove the files of the add-on domains, please. Check for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain folder configuration 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 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)
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 nonplussed? We positively are!

Weak Point No.2: The very same email folder configuration

The e-mail folder arrangement on the server is exactly the same as that of the domains... Making the same error twice?!? The sysadmin chaps strongly strengthen their belief in God when coping with the e-mail folders on the electronic mail server, praying not to botch things up too irretrievably.

Shortcoming Number 3: A thorough absence of domain name administration sections

Do we have to bring up the utter absence of a contemporary domain name manipulation platform - a location where you can: register/move/renew/park or administer domain names, alter domains' Whois details, secure the Whois details, modify/create name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not supply such a "contemporary" GUI at all. That's a mammoth problem. An unforgettable one, we wish to add...

Weakness Number 4: Numerous login places (minimum two, maximum 3)

What about the necessity for an extra login to use the billing transaction, domain name and tech support management tool? That's aside from the cPanel login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based web hosting provider. At times, depending on the billing system (principally conceived for cPanel only) the cPanel web hosting company is making use of, the zealous clients can end up with 2 extra login places (1: the invoicing transaction/domain name administration section; 2: the ticket support system), ending up with a total of three user login places (counting cPanel).

Weak Side Number 5: More than one hundred and twenty web site hosting CP departments to learn... swiftly

cPanel presents for your consideration more than 120 departments inside the webspace hosting CP. It's a marvelous idea to get familiar with each one of them. And you'd better become acquainted with them fast... That's inordinately impudent on cPanel's side.

With all due appreciation, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based webspace hosting corporations:

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