    I don't think either of those hosts I mentioned use cPanel. I know that Blacknight's web hosting "spaces" are all independent with their own isolated FTP access. I don't know about resources, but for...

    The issue here is whether you need the end user to have access to the control panel or not. If not, then you can use a web hosting account that allows multiple domains and web sites which will...

    Two reasons:

    1. Potentially greater redundancy. This would definitely be true of most small web hosts DNS, but I am sure Godaddy's will be good.

    Over many years I tried different lengths of times and none made payment any more or less likely. For that reason I decided to suspend 24 hours after non payment and keep suspended for 30 days. After...
