For your information, it's useful to be aware that most of the cPanel Website Hosting offers on today's web hosting marketplace are provided by a very insubstantial business niche (when it comes to annual money flow) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller web hosting is a kind of a small-sized marketing niche, which provides an immense quantity of different web hosting trademarks, yet supplying strictly the same solutions: chiefly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Due to the fact that at least 98% of the web hosting offers on the entire website hosting market furnish the very same thing: cPanel. There's no variety at all. Even the cPanel Website Hosting price tags are similar. Quite identical. Giving those who demand a top web hosting service virtually no other web hosting platform/web hosting CP choice. Thus, there is simply one fact: out of more than 200,000 web hosting brands worldwide, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than 2%, mind that one...

200k "Website Hosting companies", all cPanel-based, yet distinctly named

The Website Hosting "variety" and the web hosting "offerings" Google presents to all of us boil down to just one and the same solution: cPanel. Under 100's of 1000's of different website hosting brand names. Imagine you are simply an average fellow who's not well aware of (as the majority of us) with the web page making procedures and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the individual domains and web sites. Are you prepared to make your hosting choice? Is there any website hosting option you can select? Of course there is, at present there are more than 200,000 web hosting vendors in existence. Officially. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than ninety eight percent of these 200k+ unique web hosting brand names across the world will give you the very same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, labeled in a different way, with exactly the same price tags! WOW! That's how big the variety on the contemporary website hosting market is... Period.

The Website Hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple mathematics demonstrates that to chance upon a non-cPanel based web hosting firm is a gigantic strike of luck. There is a less than one in 50 chance that something like that will occur! Less than one in fifty...

The strong and weak points of the cPanel-based Website Hosting solution

Let's not be unfair with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was fashionable and possibly fulfilled most website hosting industry demands. In brief, cPanel can do the job for you if you have just a single domain name to host. But, if you have more domains...

Downside Number 1: A stupid domain name folder arrangement

If you have two or more domain names, however, be extra careful not to delete completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each subsequent hosted domain, 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 web server, since they all are set up into the root folder of the default domain, which is the quite famous 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 delete the files of the add-on domain names, please. Determine for yourself how fantastic cPanel's domain folder setup 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 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 name)
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 getting nonplussed? We undeniably are!

Disadvantage Number 2: The very same e-mail folder structure

The e-mail folder arrangement on the hosting server is precisely the same as that of the domain names... Making the same mistake twice?!? The admin boys strongly increase their belief in God when managing the email folders on the mail server, hoping not to screw things up too irretrievably.

Negative Point Number 3: An absolute deficiency of domain manipulation interfaces

Do we have to point out the entire deficiency of a modern domain name management interface - a location where you can: register/move/renew/park or administer domain names, alter domains' Whois details, shield the Whois information, alter/create name servers (DNS) and Domain Name System records? cPanel does not incorporate such a "contemporary" user interface at all. That's an enormous drawback. An unforgivable one, we would like to point out...

Inconvenience No.4: Many login places (minimum two, maximum three)

What about the demand for an extra login to make use of the invoicing transaction, domain name and technical support administration tool? That's aside from the cPanel login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel Website Hosting provider. At times, based on the billing transaction tool (especially meant for cPanel only) the cPanel Website Hosting distributor is making use of, the enthusiastic customers can wind up with 2 additional login locations (1: the invoice transaction/domain name management menu; 2: the trouble ticket support system), winding up with an aggregate of 3 user login places (counting cPanel).

Inconvenience Number Five: More than 120 hosting Control Panel sections to get familiar with... briskly

cPanel presents for your consideration more than 120 sections inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's a terrific idea to memorize each of them. And you'd better get acquainted with them quickly... That's very insolent on cPanel's side.

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

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