How does cpanel web hosting operate?

For your info, it's useful to know that the majority of the cPanel website hosting offers on the present web page hosting market are supplied by a very insignificant business niche (as far as annual capital flow is concerned) named hosting reseller. Reseller hosting is a type of a small-scale marketing segment, which furnishes an enormous amount of different web hosting brand names, yet offering precisely the same services: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98 percent of the site hosting offerings on the entire site hosting marketplace supply one and the same thing: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel webspace hosting price tags are similar. Very similar. Leaving for those who demand a top web hosting service virtually no other web space hosting platform/webspace hosting CP choice. Thus, there is simply one single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand web hosting brands all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than two percent, mark that one...

200k "website hosting providers", all cPanel-based, yet uniquely named

The web page hosting "diversity" and the website hosting "offerings" Google presents to us come down to merely one and the same solution: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different hosting brand names. Assume you are just a regular guy who's not very well familiar with (as the majority of us) with the web page development procedures and the site hosting platforms, which actually power the different domains and sites . Are you ready to make your hosting selection? Is there any hosting variant you can pick? Of course there is, now there are more than 200k web site hosting companies in existence. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200,000+ different web hosting brand names across the world will give you the same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, named differently, with the very same price tags! WOW! That's how vast the assortment on the current webspace hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The web space hosting LOTTERY we are all paricipating in

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

The pluses and minuses of the cPanel website hosting solution

Let's not be relentless with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and possibly answered all web page hosting market prerequisites. In short, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have just one domain name to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Weak Point Number One: An imbecilic domain name folder system

If you have two or more domain names, though, be ultra watchful not to delete entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each subsequent hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domain names are very easy to remove on the web hosting server, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to delete the files of the add-on domain names, please. Examine for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain folder configuration 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)
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)

Are you getting bewildered? We surely are!

Weak Point Number Two: The same electronic mail folder system

The mail folder arrangement on the hosting server is absolutely the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the very same error twice?!? The sysadmin chums strongly strengthen their faith in God when coping with the e-mail folders on the mail server, praying not to fuck things up too badly.

Negative Sign Number 3: An entire deficiency of domain name manipulation sections

Do we have to refer to the entire shortage of a modern domain name management GUI - a place where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or manage domain names, alter domain names' Whois details, secure the Whois info, modify/set up name servers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not include such a "modern" interface at all. That's an enormous weakness. An unforgettable one, we would like to add...

Disadvantage Number 4: Multiple login places (minimum two, maximum three)

What about the demand for an extra login to use the invoicing, domain and technical support administration user interface? That's apart from the cPanel account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based web hosting vendor. Now and then, on the basis of the invoicing transaction tool (particularly developed for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting distributor is using, the enthusiastic clients can end up with two extra logins (1: the invoice transaction/domain name management section; 2: the trouble ticket support platform), winding up with a total of 3 user login locations (counting cPanel).

Drawback Number 5: More than a hundred and twenty web space hosting CP menus to grasp... briskly

cPanel offers to your attention more than 120 departments inside the web space hosting Control Panel. It's a remarkable idea to learn each of them. And you'd better get familiar with them swiftly... That's excessively arrogant on cPanel's side.

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

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