So many new websites are gracing the World Wide Web thanks to many free web hosting solutions and website builders available. While these solutions are decent for hosting personal sites, people who are hoping to set up forum solutions, blogs, e-commerce websites, and any sites that are expecting high traffic need to go for a more powerful solution where the hosted servers have better specifications. Such solutions can be a bit tough to use, but not in case of cPanel which aims to facilitate creating and managing powerful websites.

What Is cPanelHosting

cPanelHosting seems a typical shared hosting provider at first glance because of its attractive .95 monthly cost. But cPanelHosting does more by offering a wide range of web hosting services which are orbiting the cPanel and Fantastico interface. The four primary plans on offer include the shared hosting, business web hosting, virtual private server hosting, and reseller hosting.

Pros

The shared hosting services offered by cPanelHosting already prove it is all about convenience and getting more for less. Known as the Premium Web Hosting package, the shared plan offers no limits to how much can be stored in the server, no bandwidth limitations, unlimited e-mail account creations, unrestricted MySQL databases, and unlimited domain support for that single account. The package is coated with a cPanel interface which allows for applying many web host management customization options and the Fantastico script library which makes it very easy for web applications to be installed including popular forum solutions, shopping cart software, content management system setup, wiki pages, blogs, and many others.

Unlike premium plans, business ones do not provide unlimited storage, still they have more useful features including automatic daily backups and much faster performance. The Enterprise solution which is a higher-end version of the business solution offers more storage space and higher server specs. For any package within the annual payment plan a free domain is offrered for life.

Reseller hosting offers a bit more than other online hosting sites that offer the package. It is similar to the business plan as backups are automatically performed daily, but unlimited FTP accounts may be created and support is a bit better being offered at any time of the day. Like in other packages, three flexible plans suited for different needs are on offer. The VPS hosting offers also inexpensive root access.

A great thing about cPanelHosting is the web design service where the layout, coding, and execution are all done by their web designing team. The cost does not depend on the project size so those who want a professional website will not pay extra for it. Another offerings are print services and unlimited number of revisions.

Cons

Fantastico is a popular script library, still it is a pity that Plesk, an interface friendlier in use, is not included. Windows Server support appears to be lacking too.

With these cons aside, cPanelHosting is an excellent choice for starters as the support is great and shared web hosting offering is affordable.






Web hosting market is thriving as older and more popular providers are experiencing issues due to so many customers and not enough fast servers to best serve new ones. While these companies still stay competitive, they are not progressing without some criticism coming from unsatisfied customers and other web hosting providers are trying to take advantage of that including Pandela which falls in the category of Virtual Private Server solutions. These types of solutions aim to remove the frustration by using the power of virtualization to make these servers more functional, more secure, and more importantly, more affordable. Pandela aims to offer as many plans as possible to attract all kinds of customers.

Who Is Pandela Hosting

Pandela is a company that has been in the IT industry for more than 2 decades with its hosting capabilities being recognized in July 2008 when it was acquired by UltraHosting, Inc. which is one of the leading providers in dedicated and collocation hosting solutions. They have servers in Los   Angeles, CA, Dallas  TX, and Toronto,  Canada.

Pros

Pandela has a huge advantage over other Virtual Private Server companies because they have been in the IT market for a long while and it really shows with the innovation that they are bringing to customers. Pandela offers a special web hosting control panel called NextGen. Using Flash and XML technologies, the performance is surprisingly fast and allows all aspects of the host to be controlled with ease. It is possible to do common tasks such as setting up FTPs or e-mail accounts in not more than 3 clicks. There are also some tools that are not often to be found in control panels including hotlink protection, IP blocking, and custom redirects.
It also successfuly copes with the one  major problem of many hosting companies which is providing good support. Pandela uses a built-in ticketing system to make it easy for customers to voice out their problems. The site is also equipped in a searchable knowledge base that has answers to most often asked questions. Queries are usually replied in minutes. Monthly costs are also very competitive with basic plans costing just a month. The storage space of 5 GB may seem little, but the 256 MB RAM makes it far better than standard shared hosting packages. Other plans can be seen at the home page in Linux and Windows flavors. The Linux distro may also be chosen for any plan without worrying about contracts. The Windows Xen plans are unique and use Parallels Virtuozzo virtualization combined with powerful Quad-core Xeon servers.

Cons

Pandela began as a free web hosting company not doing very well at first compared to other free hosting providers. Now it looks as if they fixed these problems although some hosting companies have more storage space at the same price.
Still, Pandela makes a great choice thanks to its amazing uptimes and a broad range of different VPS plans. Surely Pandela will remain a wonderful server solution provided they keep up the good work with their uptimes and support.
