For your info, it's useful to be aware that the majority of the cPanel-based Website Hosting offerings on the current web hosting market are provided by a very inconsiderable marketing niche (when it comes to annual money flow) called reseller hosting. Reseller website hosting is a sort of a small-scale business niche, which provides a big quantity of different web hosting brand names, yet furnishing absolutely the same services: mostly cPanel web hosting services. This is bad news for everybody. Why? Due to the fact that at least ninety eight percent of the web hosting offers on the whole hosting marketplace supply one and the same solution: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel-based Website Hosting price tags are similar. Very similar. Leaving for those who need a top web hosting service practically no other hosting platform/website hosting Control Panel alternative. So, there is just one fact: out of more than 200k web hosting brands in the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than two percent, note that one...

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

The Website Hosting "variety" and the website hosting "offerings" Google reveals to us boil down to merely one and the very same thing: cPanel. Under hundreds of thousands of different web hosting trademarked names. Suppose you are just a regular fellow who's not well aware of (as most of us) with the website creation procedures and the web hosting platforms, which actually power the individual domain names and online portals. Are you prepared to make your web hosting selection? Is there any web hosting variant you can decide upon? Of course there is, now there are more than 200,000 website hosting companies out there. Formally. Then where is the difficulty? Here's where: more than 98% of these more than two hundred thousand different website hosting brands worldwide will offer you strictly the same cPanel website hosting Control Panel and platform, named in a different way, with literally the same price tags! WOW! That's how enormous the assortment on the current web hosting marketplace is... Full stop.

The Website Hosting LOTTERY we are all participating in

Simple mathematics demonstrates that to choose a non-cPanel based web hosting firm is a huge stroke of fortune. There is a less than one in fifty chance that a thing like that will occur! Less than 1 in fifty...

The positive and negative points of the cPanel Website Hosting solution

Let's not be severe with cPanel. After all, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modish and perhaps answered most web hosting market prerequisites. To put it briefly, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have just one single domain to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Predicament Number 1: A moronic domain name folder structure

If you have 2 or more domains, however, be extra watchful not to remove completely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will dub each new 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 remove on the web hosting server, because they all are situated into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite popular public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to delete the files of the add-on domain names, please. Examine for yourself how marvelous 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)
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 confused? We positively are!

Problem Number Two: The very same electronic mail folder configuration

The electronic mail folder arrangement on the hosting server is absolutely the same as that of the domains... Repeating the same mistake twice?!? The admin chaps strongly enhance their faith in God when coping with the e-mail folders on the mail server, praying not to botch things up too fatally.

Disadvantage No.3: A sheer shortage of domain name administration menus

Do we have to point out the utter shortage of a modern domain name manipulation tool - a location where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or manage domain names, edit domains' Whois details, shield the Whois information, alter/set up name servers (DNS) and DNS resource records? cPanel does not have such a "contemporary" user interface at all. That's an immense drawback. An unforgivable one, we want to point out...

Negative Aspect No.4: Numerous user login places (min 2, max 3)

How about the necessity for an extra login to make use of the billing transaction, domain and technical support administration tool? That's apart from the cPanel login credentials you've been already given by the cPanel Website Hosting provider. Sometimes, depending on the billing transaction system (principally meant for cPanel exclusively) the cPanel Website Hosting distributor is utilizing, the zealous users can end up with two additional login locations (1: the billing transaction/domain name administration software solution; 2: the ticket support GUI), winding up with an aggregate of 3 user login places (including cPanel).

Disadvantage Number Five: More than a hundred and twenty website hosting CP menus to get acquainted with... rapidly

cPanel offers to your attention more than 120 areas inside the website hosting Control Panel. It's a fantastic idea to become acquainted with each of them. And you'd better get familiar with them swiftly... That's inordinately impertinent on cPanel's side.

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

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