I haven’t touched cPanel in years and am fortunate of that. I prefer lightweight server control panels like RunCloud, ServerPilot or CloudPanel. cPanel just feels so ancient. More on reddit.com

The Internet is a really, really big place. This is just a drop in the bucket. Check out the tenants of some of the larger meet-me rooms in your country and you'll see these guys aren't owning 'all' of anything. More on reddit.com

A lot of it is people are struggling to compete or have decided it’s not worth the trouble. WYSIWYG services have the major selling feature that they’re easy for end-users who have no idea about websites. Your typical small business will spin-up a site on SquareSpace and buy a domain through them because they don’t know any better and it’s “easy” but they pay for that ease with a higher price point. Think of SquareSpace, Shopify and Wix like buying a Tesla and traditional hosting like buying a traditional car. With Tesla you’re locked into only using Tesla dealers and Tesla parts, etc. With a traditional car, you can use whatever parts and service center you want. You can’t backup your site from a WYSIWYG service. You can do it with traditional hosting. I always try to impress on clients that traditional hosting gives you options and is much more flexible than a WYSIWYG service. More on reddit.com
