Custom (proprietary) web hosting control panels vs cPanel
Updated 2026: This post has been updated to reflect major industry shifts, including popular hosts moving away from cPanel and toward proprietary "lock-in" systems.
In our earlier post, "Best web hosting control panel? cPanel," we discussed why we offer cPanel free in all UltimateWB hosting packages. It is the interface you use to manage your files, databases, email accounts, and traffic statistics. But there is one reason we choose cPanel that is more important than all the others: your

The Ironic Truth Behind “Unlimited” Hosting
Funny how the word "limit" always follows the word "unlimited" when unlimited web hosting plans are involved...eventually in the terms of use or question/answer sections. Inode refers to the number of files you can have on your account - that is the number of files counting everything - every file, every page, every image, every email. The limit Bluehost has set is 50,000, as stated on their help topics page:

HostGator Founder and CEO admitted “Unlimited” plans are just a marketing ploy – and they REALLY are
On the previous post we talked about how GoDaddy's web hosting plans advertise as being "Unlimited disk space" and "Unlimited bandwidth" when clearly they are not. So why does GoDaddy and other web hosting companies do it? Marketing strategy, tactic, ploy, some would even call it unfair advertising, cheating, or a scam... whatever you want to call it, the end point is to attract more buyers, cinch the sale, and increase sales. HostGator Founder and then CEO Brent

GoDaddy Web Hosting “Unlimited” Plans, Disk Space & Traffic Limits – Not really “Unlimited” anything
GoDaddy now advertises 100GB disk space and "Unlimited" bandwidth in its lowest web hosting plan called Economy, and both "Unlimited" disk space and "Unlimited" bandwidth in its higher web hosting plans, Deluxe and Ultimate, respectively. You might be thinking you are getting a great deal, but they are using the terms "Unlimited" (and we would say "Ultimate" too!) very loosely here. In fact, if you read the fine print in their Web Hosting Agreement, you will find that GoDaddy

How can I make a login system for a weebly website? Easy Solution. Kinda.
Sometimes our coders get questions from website owners using other website builders on how to add certain features to their website. One of the top requests is on how to add a registration/login form to their weebly website. The solution is simple. Switch website builders. You can't do it with weebly. And because weebly is a hosted website builder, you will also need to switch your web hosting to another company, and unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look
