But the future is still here as we manage our bank accounts directly on our smartphones, and can get pretty much everything delivered at our doors in a few clicks. <strong>Still, some things are unchanged.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Web hosting is one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Even though web hosting is a must for millions of people who need to promote their companies, services, and projects, <strong>being online remains an obstacle course.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is counter intuitive that in 2015, complexity is still the norm in the industry. It is even worse actually: people have to adapt to this complexity when it should go the other way around!\u201d explains Charles Francisci, Senior Director at Funio.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Too many different environments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>How many different environments do you see every day? When we ask our support team, they admit spending a lot of time guiding clients through many interfaces, all of which are different from one another. WHM, cPanel, customer account, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.funio.com\/en\/2015\/09\/why-you-should-update-your-cms\/\">CMS<\/a>\u2026 and many more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy isn\u2019t there<a href=\"https:\/\/funio.com\/account-management\/\"> one single interface<\/a> where you could manage it all without learning the insides and outs of a new environment?\u201d asks Patrick Lepage, responsible of the customer support.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Too many passwords<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After \u201cwhat\u2019s cPanel?\u201d usually comes: \u201cI don\u2019t have my login or password!\u201d Managing four different interfaces usually means four different login and passwords or more. Complexity just quadrupled. With so many logins and passwords, it is easy to be confused. Which account goes with which password?<\/p>\n<p>In the best of all possible worlds, a single account with a unique password would allow to manage it all\u2026 <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Too many steps, way too technical<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once you master all theses interfaces, once you found your password, you need to know how to configure your hosting plan so that you can do what you need to do. Usually, it is not easy. At all. It can take too many steps and demands technical knowledge. Blocking an IP address, configuring an email account, redirecting domain names, etc. can be way too complex.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, the web is still for those who have technical knowledge, to those who are ready to take the time needed to learn and master many interfaces. The paradox is blatant: everybody needs to be online, but managing one\u2019s online presence requires you to be an expert.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about making <em>this<\/em> kind of hosting a thing of the past?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/media.funio.com\/images\/kb\/blog\/brown.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"190\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After celebrating #BackToTheFutureDay and comparing futuristic products to reality, we realized that there are still no self-lacing sneakers.
