How does cpanel site hosting work?

For your information, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel-based site hosting offerings on the contemporary webspace hosting marketplace are generated by a quite inconsiderable business segment (when it comes to annual cash flow) called hosting reseller. Reseller web space hosting is a kind of a small-size marketing segment, which supplies an enormous number of different web hosting brands, yet supplying the very same services: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Because of the fact that at least 98 percent of the web hosting offers on the whole webspace hosting marketplace supply one and the same solution: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel-based hosting prices are identical. Quite similar. Giving those in need of a top web hosting service virtually no other site hosting platform/web hosting Control Panel option. Thus, there is merely a single fact: out of more than 200k web space hosting brands around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than two percent, note that one...

200k "web site hosting providers", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly branded

The site hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offers" Google shows to all of us boil down to just one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different webspace hosting trademarked names. Assume you are only an ordinary fellow who's not very familiar with (as the majority of us) with the website development processes and the web site hosting platforms, which actually power the different domains and web portals . Are you prepared to make your hosting selection? Is there any hosting option you can choose? Sure there is, these days there are more than 200,000 web space hosting vendors out there. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200,000+ different website hosting brands across the world will offer you the same cPanel site hosting Control Panel and platform, dubbed differently, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how enormous the variety on the present site hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The hosting LOTTO we are all paricipating in

Simple mathematics demonstrates that to pick a non-cPanel based web hosting company is a colossal strike of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that something like that will happen! Less than 1 in 50...

The upsides and downsides of the cPanel web site hosting solution

Let's not be harsh with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and perhaps satisfied most web site hosting market requirements. In short, cPanel can do the trick if you have only one domain to host. But, if you have more domains...

Negative Point Number One: A dumb domain folder setup

If you have 2 or more domains, though, be extra watchful not to erase fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each subsequent hosted domain name, 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 very well known 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 remove the files of the add-on domains, please. Examine for yourself how amazing 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 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)
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 disorientated? We categorically are!

Drawback Number Two: The very same e-mail folder setup

The e-mail folder structure on the hosting server is precisely the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the very same error twice?!? The admin chaps strongly fortify their belief in God when managing the e-mail folders on the email server, hoping not to fuck things up too badly.

Downside Number 3: An absolute deficiency of domain name manipulation user interfaces

Do we need to bring up the absolute shortage of a modern domain management platform - a location where you can: register/transfer/renew/park or manage domains, alter domain names' Whois details, secure the Whois details, alter/set up name servers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not provide such a "modern" menu at all. That's a big downside. An unforgivable one, we wish to add...

Inconvenience Number 4: Multiple login places (min 2, max 3)

How about the necessity for an extra login to use the invoicing, domain and tech support administration section? That's beside the cPanel account login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel web hosting distributor. Occasionally, on the basis of the billing tool (especially designed for cPanel only) the cPanel web hosting supplier is availing of, the zealous users can end up with 2 extra logins (1: the invoicing transaction/domain administration section; 2: the trouble ticket support section), ending up with an aggregate of 3 user login locations (including cPanel).

Inconvenience Number 5: More than a hundred and twenty Control Panel areas to memorize... promptly

cPanel offers to your attention more than 120 departments inside the website hosting CP. It's a superb idea to memorize each one of them. And you'd better get to know them briskly... That's very arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due respect, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based web hosting companies:

As far as we are informed, it's not the year 2001, is it? Mind that one as well...
