For your information, it's good to know that the majority of the cPanel Web Hosting offerings on the current website hosting market are provided by a quite inconsiderable marketing niche (as far as yearly money flow is concerned) called hosting reseller. Reseller web hosting is a sort of a small-size business segment, which furnishes a vast number of different web hosting trademarks, yet offering strictly the same thing: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Due to the fact that at least 98% of the web hosting offerings on the whole website hosting market furnish exactly the same thing: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel Web Hosting price tags are similar. Quite identical. Giving those who demand a top web hosting service virtually no other website hosting platform/web hosting CP choice. So, there is merely a single fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting trademarks around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2 percent! Less than 2 percent, mind that one...

200,000 "Web Hosting vendors", all cPanel-based, yet differently dubbed

The Web Hosting "diversity" and the hosting "offers" Google reveals to all of us come down to just one thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different website hosting brand names. Imagine you are merely a regular person who's not very well aware of (as most of us) with the website development processes and the website hosting platforms, which in fact power the respective domains and web sites. Are you prepared to make your hosting decision? Is there any website hosting alternative you can settle on? Sure there is, at the moment there are more than two hundred thousand website hosting distributors out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98% of these more than two hundred thousand unique web hosting brands all over the world will offer you the same cPanel web hosting CP and platform, dubbed in a different way, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how huge the variety on the present website hosting market is... Full stop.

The Web Hosting LOTTO we are all part of

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

The advantages and disadvantages of the cPanel Web Hosting solution

Let's not be fierce with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and possibly covered most web hosting market prerequisites. In brief, cPanel can do the trick if you have only a single domain name to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Weak Side Number One: An imbecilic domain folder structure

If you have two or more domains, however, be ultra watchful not to erase completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each subsequent hosted domain name, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domains are quite simple to delete on the hosting server, since they all are located 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. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to erase the files of the add-on domain names, please. See for yourself how amazing cPanel's domain name folder arrangement 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 confused? We certainly are!

Weak Side Number 2: The very same electronic mail folder configuration

The mail folder configuration on the web server is literally the same as that of the domains... Making the same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin boys strongly reinforce their belief in God when dealing with the email folders on the electronic mail server, hoping not to mess things up too irretrievably.

Negative Point Number Three: A complete lack of domain name management sections

Do we have to refer to the utter absence of a contemporary domain administration user interface - a location where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or manage domains, edit domain names' Whois details, shield the Whois details, edit/set up nameservers (DNS) and Domain Name System resource records? cPanel does not involve such a "contemporary" section at all. That's a huge problem. An unforgettable one, we would like to add...

Problem Number 4: Multiple user login locations (minimum two, maximum three)

How about the necessity for another login to access the invoicing transaction, domain name and technical support management menu? That's beside the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already supplied by the cPanel Web Hosting vendor. Now and then, depending on the invoice transaction platform (particularly meant for cPanel only) the cPanel Web Hosting corporation is making use of, the devoted clients can end up with two additional logins (1: the billing/domain name management software platform; 2: the trouble ticket support software platform), winding up with a total of 3 user login locations (counting cPanel).

Negative Point No.5: More than one hundred and twenty website hosting Control Panel menus to become familiar with... promptly

cPanel presents to your attention 120+ menus inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's a fabulous idea to become familiar with each of them. And you'd better get to know them fast... That's inordinately impertinent on cPanel's side.

With all due veneration, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel Web Hosting suppliers:

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