How does cpanel site hosting function?

For your info, it's good to know that the majority of the cPanel web page hosting offerings on the contemporary web page hosting marketplace are supplied by a very inconsiderable business niche (as far as yearly cash flow is concerned) dubbed reseller hosting. Reseller hosting is a kind of a small business niche, which supplies an enormous number of different web hosting brands, yet furnishing one and the same services: mostly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Due to the fact that at least 98 percent of the web space hosting offers on the entire hosting market provide precisely the same thing: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel webspace hosting price tags are identical. Quite similar. Giving those who need a top web hosting service practically no other webspace hosting platform/web space hosting CP alternative. So, there is just one single fact: out of more than 200k web space hosting brand names around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than two percent, mark that one...

Two hundred thousand "web page hosting providers", all cPanel-based, yet diversely labeled

The website hosting "diversity" and the web site hosting "offers" Google reveals to us boil down to merely one and the same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different web page hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are simply an average guy who's not very well familiar with (as most of us) with the site development processes and the webspace hosting platforms, which in fact power the respective domains and web sites . Are you ready to make your web hosting pick? Is there any web space hosting option you can opt for? Of course there is, these days there are more than 200k web hosting providers out there. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200k+ unique web space hosting brands in the world will give you the same cPanel webspace hosting Control Panel and platform, branded differently, with literally the same price tags! WOW! That's how big the diversity on the contemporary site hosting market is... Full stop.

The web site hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple math demonstrates that to run into a non-cPanel based web hosting distributor is a big strike of luck. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that a phenomenon like that will occur! Less than one in fifty...

The strong and weak sides of the cPanel web page hosting solution

Let's not be relentless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was trendy and possibly fulfilled most web hosting business prerequisites. To put it briefly, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have only one single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Disadvantage Number 1: A stupid domain name folder setup

If you have 2 or more domains, though, be extra cautious not to delete entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each new hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are very easy to delete on the server, since they all are created into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain name is a folder situated inside the folder of the default domain name. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to delete the files of the add-on domains, please. Determine for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain folder setup 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)
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 growing bewildered? We clearly are!

Negative Side No.2: The same mail folder structure

The email folder structure on the web server is precisely the same as that of the domains... Making the very same mistake twice?!? The admin guys strongly reinforce their belief in God when dealing with the email folders on the mail server, praying not to screw things up too badly.

Weak Side Number 3: A thorough shortage of domain name management options

Do we have to mention the entire absence of a modern domain name administration tool - a location where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or administer domain names, change domains' Whois details, shield the Whois information, modify/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not contain such a "modern" menu at all. That's a huge inconvenience. An unjustifiable one, we want to add...

Problem No.4: Numerous login locations (min two, max 3)

How about the necessity for an extra login to avail of the billing transaction, domain and technical support administration software? That's aside from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel web hosting vendor. Occasionally, on the basis of the billing system (especially created for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel web hosting company is utilizing, the eager customers can wind up with two extra login locations (1: the billing/domain name administration GUI; 2: the ticket support software), winding up with an aggregate of three user login places (counting cPanel).

Predicament Number 5: 120+ web space hosting CP sections to grasp... promptly

cPanel offers to your attention more than a hundred and twenty menus inside the web site hosting CP. It's an excellent idea to grasp each of them. And you'd better get acquainted with them swiftly... That's inordinately impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel hosting providers:

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