How does cpanel web hosting function?

For your info, it's good to know that the majority of the cPanel-based webspace hosting offerings on the contemporary web site hosting market are generated by a very unsubstantial marketing segment (as far as yearly money flow is concerned) known as reseller hosting. Reseller web site hosting is a sort of a small marketing segment, which supplies a huge amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet providing strictly the same services: mainly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because at least 98% of the web page hosting offerings on the whole web hosting marketplace provide strictly the same solution: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based website hosting price tags are alike. Very much alike. Leaving for those who demand a top web hosting service almost no other site hosting platform/web site hosting Control Panel option. Thus, there is simply a single fact: out of more than 200k site hosting brand names all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2 percent, mark that one...

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

The web page hosting "variety" and the hosting "offerings" Google shows to all of us come down to just one and the very same solution: cPanel. Under hundreds of 1000's of different web space hosting brand names. Suppose you are only a regular chap who's not very well aware of (as most of us) with the website making processes and the web space hosting platforms, which in fact power the various domains and web portals . Are you prepared to make your web hosting pick? Is there any web site hosting option you can opt for? Sure there is, now there are more than 200,000 web space hosting service providers in existence. Officially. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200,000+ unique web page hosting brand names worldwide will give you the very same cPanel site hosting CP and platform, named differently, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how enormous the diversity on the contemporary web site hosting market is... Full stop.

The web hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple mathematics shows that to stumble upon a non-cPanel based web hosting company is a colossal stroke of fortune. There is a less than 1 in fifty chance that a phenomenon like that will take place! Less than one in fifty...

The positive and negative aspects of the cPanel web site hosting solution

Let's not be cruel with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and presumably answered most hosting industry demands. In short, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only one domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Aspect No.1: A dumb domain folder system

If you have 2 or more domains, however, be very careful not to delete fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each new hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are quite easy to remove on the server, since they all are set up into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very famous 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 try not to remove the files of the add-on domain names, please. Verify for yourself how fabulous cPanel's domain name folder structure 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)
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 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 getting baffled? We positively are!

Disadvantage Number Two: The same email folder arrangement

The email folder arrangement on the server is exactly the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the very same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin boys firmly strengthen their belief in God when handling the mail folders on the electronic mail server, hoping not to mess things up too harshly.

Weakness No.3: A complete absence of domain management sections

Do we need to point out the total absence of a modern domain name administration GUI - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or manage domains, alter domain names' Whois details, shield the Whois info, alter/set up name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not incorporate such a "contemporary" GUI at all. That's a vast downside. An unjustifiable one, we want to add...

Downside No.4: Numerous login locations (min 2, max 3)

What about the necessity for an additional login to access the billing, domain and tech support management tool? That's aside from the cPanel account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based web site hosting company. Occasionally, based on the invoicing transaction system (particularly tailored for cPanel solely) the cPanel web hosting distributor is making use of, the keen users can end up with two additional logins (1: the billing/domain administration menu; 2: the trouble ticket support user interface), ending up with a total of three user login places (including cPanel).

Negative Side Number 5: More than a hundred and twenty web space hosting Control Panel departments to pick up... swiftly

cPanel offers for your consideration more than 120 departments inside the site hosting Control Panel. It's a glorious idea to memorize each one of them. And you'd better learn them promptly... That's very arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due appreciation, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel website hosting vendors:

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