For your information, it's useful to know that the majority of the cPanel-based Website Hosting offers on the contemporary hosting market are supplied by a very unsubstantial business niche (as far as annual capital flow is concerned) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller web hosting is a kind of a small-size business segment, which generates an immense amount of different web hosting brand names, yet supplying the very same thing: mostly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Because at least 98 percent of the web hosting offerings on the whole website hosting marketplace provide the very same thing: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel Website Hosting prices are alike. Quite similar. Leaving for those who need a top web hosting service virtually no other web hosting platform/Control Panel alternative. Thus, there is just one single fact: out of more than two hundred thousand web hosting brands in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than 2%! Less than two percent, mark that one...
The Website Hosting "diversity" and the web hosting "offers" Google presents to all of us come down to just one thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different web hosting trademarked names. Imagine you are merely a normal person who's not very well acquainted with (as the majority of us) with the site creation procedures and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the separate domains and web pages. Are you prepared to make your web hosting selection? Is there any website hosting option you can settle on? Of course there is, today there are more than 200k web hosting firms out there. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98 percent of these more than two hundred thousand different web hosting brand names across the world will offer you the same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, branded in a different way, with absolutely the same price tags! WOW! That's how vast the assortment on today's web hosting market is... Period.
Simple math reveals that to pick a non-cPanel based web hosting company is a big stroke of luck. There is a less than one in fifty chance that something like that will take place! Less than one in fifty...
Let's not be fierce with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and perhaps answered all hosting market requirements. To cut a long story short, cPanel can do the trick if you have only a single domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...
If you have 2 or more domain names, however, be extremely cautious not to delete fully 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). The files of the add-on domain names are very simple to erase on the server, because they all are located into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite popular 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 remove the files of the add-on domain names, please. Observe for yourself how marvelous cPanel's domain name folder setup is:
public_html (here my-default-domain.com is located)Are you getting confused? We surely are!
The electronic mail folder configuration on the web hosting server is strictly the same as that of the domain names... Repeating the same mistake twice?!? The sysadmin chaps firmly increase their belief in God when tackling the e-mail folders on the mail server, hoping not to botch things up too irretrievably.
Do we have to mention the total shortage of a modern domain name administration platform - a place where you can: register/move/renew/park or administer domains, modify domains' Whois information, protect the Whois details, edit/create nameservers (DNS) and DNS resource records? cPanel does not involve such a "contemporary" tool at all. That's an immense problem. An unjustifiable one, we wish to point out...
What about the demand for another login to make use of the billing transaction, domain and tech support administration system? That's apart from the cPanel login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel-based Website Hosting supplier. Sometimes, depending on the billing tool (principally tailored for cPanel only) the cPanel Website Hosting provider is utilizing, the zealous customers can end up with two additional login places (1: the invoicing/domain name management software; 2: the ticket support platform), winding up with an aggregate of three user login places (counting cPanel).
cPanel presents to your attention more than one hundred and twenty areas inside the website hosting CP. It's a fine idea to grasp each of them. And you'd better learn them fast... That's way too insolent on cPanel's side.
With all due appreciation, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel Website Hosting providers:
As far as we are informed, it's not the year 2001, is it? Remark that one too...
