How does cpanel hosting operate?

For your info, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel web space hosting offerings on the present web site hosting marketplace are generated by a quite inconsiderable marketing niche (as far as annual cash flow is concerned) named reseller hosting. Reseller webspace hosting is a sort of a small business segment, which generates a vast number of different web hosting brands, yet offering strictly the same solutions: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because at least 98 percent of the web site hosting offerings on the entire webspace hosting market offer the same service: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel web space hosting prices are alike. Very much alike. Giving those in need of a top web hosting service virtually no other hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel option. Thus, there is just a single fact: out of more than 200k web site hosting trademarks around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than two percent, remark that one...

Two hundred thousand "webspace hosting vendors", all cPanel-based, yet differently named

The website hosting "variety" and the web space hosting "offerings" Google shows to us boil down to merely one and the same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different web page hosting brand names. Imagine you are simply an average fellow who's not very familiar with (as most of us) with the web page development procedures and the webspace hosting platforms, which actually power the respective domains and online portals . Are you prepared to make your hosting decision? Is there any web space hosting variant you can select? Sure there is, at the moment there are more than 200,000 hosting corporations out there. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200k+ different web hosting brands worldwide will offer you absolutely the same cPanel webspace hosting Control Panel and platform, labeled in a different way, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how great the variety on today's web hosting market is... Period.

The webspace hosting LOTTO we are all paricipating in

Simple math shows that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting vendor is a huge strike of luck. There is a less than one in 50 chance that something like that will take place! Less than 1 in 50...

The pluses and minuses of the cPanel-based website hosting solution

Let's not be cruel with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and presumably met all website hosting business requirements. In brief, cPanel can do the trick if you have just one single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Predicament Number 1: A moronic domain folder arrangement

If you have 2 or more domain names, though, be ultra cautious not to delete fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each next hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are quite simple to remove on the server, since they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite famous public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder located inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to delete the files of the add-on domain names, please. Examine for yourself how fabulous cPanel's domain name 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 name)
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 confused? We categorically are!

Problem No.2: The very same e-mail folder system

The electronic mail folder arrangement on the web hosting server is exactly the same as that of the domains... Repeating the very same mistake twice?!? The admin guys firmly fortify their faith in God when tackling the e-mail folders on the electronic mail server, praying not to fuck things up too severely.

Weak Point Number Three: An entire absence of domain name management user interfaces

Do we have to point out the complete absence of a contemporary domain manipulation user interface - a place where you can: register/move/renew/park or manage domains, alter domains' Whois details, shield the Whois details, alter/set up name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not provide such a "contemporary" GUI at all. That's a gigantic disadvantage. An unforgivable one, we would like to add...

Negative Side Number 4: Many user login locations (minimum two, max three)

What about the necessity for an extra login to utilize the invoicing, domain name and technical support administration system? That's beside the cPanel login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel webspace hosting distributor. Sometimes, depending on the billing system (principally created for cPanel only) the cPanel web hosting distributor is using, the zealous clients can wind up with 2 extra logins (1: the billing transaction/domain name administration user interface; 2: the ticket support section), winding up with a total of three login locations (counting cPanel).

Weakness Number 5: More than one hundred and twenty web space hosting Control Panel areas to get familiar with... fast

cPanel presents to your attention more than 120 menus inside the website hosting CP. It's a wonderful idea to learn each one of them. And you'd better get familiar with them briskly... That's excessively impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due veneration, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel web site hosting corporations:

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