For your info, it's good to know that the majority of the cPanel Website Hosting offers on the present hosting marketplace are generated by a very insubstantial business segment (as far as annual capital flow is concerned) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller website hosting is a type of a small-scale marketing niche, which supplies a big number of different web hosting brands, yet furnishing exactly the same thing: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because at least 98 percent of the web hosting offerings on the entire website hosting marketplace provide one and the very same thing: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel-based Website Hosting prices are identical. Quite identical. Leaving for those who need a top web hosting service virtually no other website hosting platform/hosting CP choice. So, there is merely a single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand website hosting trademarks in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2, remark that one...

Two hundred thousand "Website Hosting service providers", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly named

The Website Hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offers" Google reveals to all of us boil down to merely one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different website hosting trademarked names. Assume you are simply an ordinary person who's not well aware of (as most of us) with the site creation processes and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the individual domains and sites. Are you prepared to make your hosting decision? Is there any web hosting variant you can opt for? Of course there is, as of now there are more than 200k web hosting suppliers in existence. Officially. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98% of these 200,000+ different web hosting brand names worldwide will give you literally the same cPanel web hosting Control Panel and platform, branded differently, with exactly the same price tags! WOW! That's how immense the assortment on the present website hosting market is... Full stop.

The Website Hosting LOTTERY we are all part of

Simple math reveals that to encounter a non-cPanel based web hosting corporation is a colossal strike of luck. There is a less than one in 50 chance that a phenomenon like that will occur! Less than 1 in fifty...

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel Website Hosting solution

Let's not be merciless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and probably fulfilled most website hosting market requirements. In brief, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only one single domain name to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Negative Aspect No.1: An idiotic domain name folder arrangement

If you have two or more domain names, though, be very watchful not to erase entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each subsequent hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are very simple to remove on the web server, because they all are placed into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the very well known 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 try not to erase the files of the add-on domain names, please. Examine for yourself how wonderful cPanel's domain name folder structure 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 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)
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 becoming perplexed? We absolutely are!

Weakness No.2: The very same electronic mail folder configuration

The email folder configuration on the server is precisely the same as that of the domain names... Making the very same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin blokes strongly fortify their faith in God when managing the e-mail folders on the mail server, hoping not to muck things up too seriously.

Weak Side No.3: A total lack of domain name manipulation interfaces

Do we need to refer to the sheer lack of a contemporary domain manipulation tool - a place where you can: register/move/renew/park or manage domains, edit domains' Whois information, secure the Whois information, edit/set up name servers (DNS) and DNS records? cPanel does not have such a "contemporary" menu at all. That's a major inconvenience. An unforgettable one, we wish to point out...

Negative Point Number Four: Multiple user login locations (minimum two, maximum three)

What about the demand for another login to utilize the invoicing, domain and technical support administration software? That's beside the cPanel login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel-based Website Hosting corporation. Now and then, depending on the invoicing transaction system (particularly built for cPanel solely) the cPanel Website Hosting company is availing of, the ardent users can wind up with 2 additional logins (1: the billing/domain name management platform; 2: the ticket support software), winding up with an aggregate of three login places (including cPanel).

Inconvenience Number Five: More than a hundred and twenty website hosting CP sections to learn... promptly

cPanel presents for your consideration more than a hundred and twenty departments inside the website hosting CP. It's a superb idea to memorize each one of them. And you'd better get acquainted with them promptly... That's extremely arrogant on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based Website Hosting distributors:

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