How does cpanel website hosting work?

For your info, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel web hosting offerings on today's web page hosting market are furnished by a quite insignificant business niche (as far as annual money flow is concerned) named reseller hosting. Reseller web site hosting is a kind of a small business niche, which generates a huge number of different web hosting trademarks, yet providing absolutely the same thing: mainly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98 percent of the web site hosting offers on the whole site hosting marketplace offer one and the very same service: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel web page hosting price tags are alike. Very much alike. Giving those who need a top web hosting service practically no other web space hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel choice. Thus, there is simply one fact: out of more than 200k web page hosting trademarks around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2 percent, remark that one...

200,000 "webspace hosting suppliers", all cPanel-based, yet differently named

The web space hosting "diversity" and the web page hosting "offers" Google shows to all of us boil down to merely one thing: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different web site hosting brand names. Assume you are simply a regular person who's not very well familiar with (as the majority of us) with the web site making procedures and the web page hosting platforms, which in fact power the respective domains and websites . Are you ready to make your hosting decision? Is there any website hosting alternative you can choose? Sure there is, nowadays there are more than two hundred thousand web space hosting firms out there. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200k+ unique website hosting brands around the world will give you literally the same cPanel web page hosting Control Panel and platform, named differently, with strictly the same price tags! WOW! That's how big the variety on the present-day web hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The web site hosting LOTTO we are all part of

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

The positive and negative points of the cPanel hosting solution

Let's not be merciless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and presumably answered most website hosting market preconditions. In short, cPanel can do the trick if you have just one single domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Downside Number One: A foolish domain name folder arrangement

If you have two or more domains, however, be very careful not to erase fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each subsequent hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domain names are quite simple to remove on the web server, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time try not to erase the files of the add-on domain names, please. Verify for yourself how excellent cPanel's domain name folder setup 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)
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 bewildered? We surely are!

Inconvenience Number Two: The same e-mail folder configuration

The e-mail folder configuration on the web hosting server is literally the same as that of the domains... Repeating the same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin guys strongly increase their faith in God when tackling the electronic mail folders on the e-mail server, praying not to bungle things up too gravely.

Negative Sign Number Three: A sheer shortage of domain name manipulation tools

Do we need to cite the complete lack of a contemporary domain name administration user interface - a place where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or manage domains, edit domain names' Whois details, secure the Whois information, change/create nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not provide such a "modern" menu at all. That's a considerable drawback. An unjustifiable one, we would like to add...

Weakness Number 4: Multiple user login places (min 2, maximum three)

What about the need for an extra login to access the invoice transaction, domain name and tech support administration software solution? That's aside from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel web hosting company. Occasionally, based on the invoice transaction system (especially developed for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel web hosting firm is availing of, the ardent customers can end up with two extra logins (1: the invoice transaction/domain name management tool; 2: the trouble ticket support menu), ending up with a total of 3 login locations (including cPanel).

Inconvenience Number Five: More than 120 webspace hosting CP menus to become familiar with... fast

cPanel offers to your attention more than 120 sections inside the web site hosting Control Panel. It's a superb idea to grasp each of them. And you'd better get acquainted with them quickly... That's extremely arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due appreciation, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based web site hosting firms:

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