cPanel Hosting Description
For your info, it's good to be aware that most of the cPanel website hosting offers on the current web hosting market are furnished by a very insubstantial business niche (as far as annual money flow is concerned) called hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a kind of a small-size marketing niche, which provides a vast number of different web hosting brand names, yet providing strictly the same solutions: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because at least 98 percent of the web hosting offerings on the whole web hosting market offer one and the very same solution: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel-based website hosting prices are alike. Very much alike. Leaving for those who demand a top web hosting service almost no other web hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel choice. So, there is only one single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand web hosting brand names around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2%, mark that one...
200,000 "website hosting providers", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly labeled
The website hosting "variety" and the website hosting "offerings" Google presents to all of us come down to merely one and the same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different website hosting brand names. Assume you are merely an ordinary bloke who's not very familiar with (as the majority of us) with the website development procedures and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the different domains and web pages. Are you ready to make your hosting decision? Is there any web hosting option you can choose? Of course there is, nowadays there are more than 200,000 hosting firms out there. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200,000+ unique web hosting brand names in the world will offer you absolutely the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, dubbed in a different way, with exactly the same price tags! WOW! That's how huge the assortment on today's website hosting market is... Period.
The website hosting LOTTO we are all participating in
Simple mathematics shows that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting distributor is a mammoth stroke of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that an event like that will occur! Less than one in fifty...
The strong and weak points of the cPanel-based website hosting solution
Let's not be unfair with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and possibly satisfied all website hosting business prerequisites. To put it briefly, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have just a single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...
Negative Side No.1: An idiotic domain folder configuration
If you have 2 or more domains, however, be ultra cautious not to erase entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each new hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domain names are quite easy to remove on the hosting server, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very famous 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 delete the files of the add-on domains, please. Determine for yourself how amazing cPanel's domain folder arrangement is:
public_html (here my-default-domain.com is placed)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 name)
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)
Are you growing confused? We doubtlessly are!
Weak Point Number 2: The same email folder arrangement
The electronic mail folder structure on the web hosting server is literally the same as that of the domain names... Making the same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin chaps firmly reinforce their faith in God when dealing with the e-mail folders on the mail server, hoping not to mess things up too harshly.
Drawback Number 3: A total lack of domain name management user interfaces
Do we need to cite the total lack of a contemporary domain name administration menu - a location where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or manage domain names, alter domains' Whois information, shield the Whois details, alter/set up name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not offer such a "contemporary" GUI at all. That's an enormous problem. An unforgettable one, we would like to add...
Inconvenience Number Four: Numerous user login places (minimum two, max 3)
How about the demand for another login to access the invoicing transaction, domain and technical support management software platform? That's aside from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel website hosting company. Now and then, depending on the invoicing system (especially invented for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel website hosting firm is using, the eager customers can wind up with two additional login locations (1: the billing/domain name administration tool; 2: the trouble ticket support interface), winding up with an aggregate of three user login locations (including cPanel).
Weak Side Number 5: More than one hundred and twenty hosting Control Panel areas to become familiar with... promptly
cPanel offers for your consideration more than one hundred and twenty menus inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's a superb idea to learn each and every one of them. And you'd better become familiar with them swiftly... That's very impudent on cPanel's side.
With all due veneration, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel website hosting suppliers:
As far as we are aware of, it's not the year 2001, is it? Mark that one too...
