For your information, it's good to be aware that the majority of the cPanel website hosting offerings on the contemporary website hosting market are furnished by a quite unsubstantial business niche (as far as annual cash flow is concerned) called reseller hosting. Reseller hosting is a type of a small-scale business niche, which generates a big quantity of different web hosting trademarks, yet offering absolutely the same solutions: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Owing to the fact that at least 98 percent of the web hosting offers on the whole web hosting marketplace offer the very same solution: cPanel. There's no diversity at all. Even the cPanel-based website hosting prices are similar. Very identical. Leaving for those who require a top web hosting service practically no other web hosting platform/web hosting CP option. Thus, there is just one single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand web hosting brand names all over the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than two percent, note that one...
The website hosting "diversity" and the website hosting "offerings" Google reveals to us boil down to merely one and the same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different web hosting trademarked names. Assume you are only an average chap who's not well aware of (as most of us) with the web page making processes and the website hosting platforms, which in fact power the different domains and websites. Are you prepared to make your web hosting selection? Is there any website hosting option you can choose? Of course there is, at the moment there are more than two hundred thousand website hosting companies out there. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these 200,000+ different web hosting brands around the world will offer you exactly the same cPanel hosting Control Panel and platform, labeled differently, with the same price tags! WOW! That's how huge the variety on the present-day website hosting market is... Full stop.
Simple math demonstrates that to encounter a non-cPanel based web hosting vendor is a great stroke of fortune. There is a less than one in fifty chance that a thing like that will happen! Less than one in 50...
Let's not be pitiless with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and probably met most hosting business demands. To put it briefly, cPanel can do the job for you if you have only one domain to host. But, if you have more domains...
If you have two or more domain names, though, be extremely attentive not to remove fully the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will call each next hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain name). The files of the add-on domain names are quite simple to remove on the server, since they all are set up 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 located 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. Decide for yourself how good cPanel's domain name folder arrangement is:
public_html (here my-default-domain.com is situated)Are you growing baffled? We clearly are!
The e-mail folder configuration on the web hosting server is strictly the same as that of the domains... Repeating the very same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin guys strongly increase their belief in God when coping with the electronic mail folders on the electronic mail server, hoping not to muck things up too harshly.
Do we need to point out the utter shortage of a modern domain name manipulation user interface - a location where you can: register/migrate/renew/park or manage domain names, change domains' Whois info, shield the Whois information, alter/create name servers (DNS) and DNS resource records? cPanel does not involve such a "modern" tool at all. That's a huge inconvenience. An unforgettable one, we wish to point out...
What about the demand for an additional login to access the invoicing transaction, domain name and tech support management software platform? That's aside from the cPanel user account login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel-based website hosting company. Now and then, depending on the invoicing tool (especially built for cPanel only) the cPanel website hosting company is utilizing, the ardent customers can wind up with two additional logins (1: the billing/domain name management software solution; 2: the trouble ticket support tool), ending up with a total of 3 login locations (counting cPanel).
cPanel presents for your consideration more than 120 areas inside the web hosting CP. It's a superb idea to grasp each and every one of them. And you'd better grasp them rapidly... That's way too impertinent on cPanel's side.
With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based website hosting service providers:
As far as we are informed, it's not the year 2001, is it? Note that one too...
