What Exactly is Cloud Web Hosting?
In general, the authentic cloud hosting platform serves individual web hosting services such as web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on different packs of avant-garde web servers. Each different service pack constitutes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing the service's load in practically equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there would be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web hosting system.
The gigantic cloud web hosting fraud. Very modern nowadays.
There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud hosting now. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud hosting firms" speculate strongly, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a disgrace! An immense disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no decrees whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such supervising institution. This is why the hosting companies speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they in fact can provide.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting suppliers
If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very improbable, many servers have to be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting distributor to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, for making one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient team are not a predicament, lots of cash has to be invested as well. Heaps of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous disadvantage.
The deficiency of open source cloud hosting systems
There are no open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting CP interfaces (functioning with the cloud web hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, first you must construct one. In-house. In the second place, you must make the web hosting CP as well.
One server-based hosting CPs
Popular web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to perform on one single web server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one single server where these particular one-server hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are installed.
The absence of open source Control Panels
So, you must set up a custom hosting Control Panel that will operate impeccably and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Suitable instances of in-house invented cloud website hosting solutions with custom constructed website hosting Control Panels besides us, at , are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud hosting hardware provision charges
The minimal investment needed, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud hosting platforms can be found out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
