Cloud Web Hosting Unmasked

Essentially, the real cloud web hosting solution serves individual hosting services like disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, and so on, on independent groups of avant-garde servers. Each particular service set creates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one server, sharing the service's load in practically equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a storage 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, and so on. All these separate service clusters will build the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The colossal cloud website hosting fraud. Quite popular nowadays.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is extremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this universal unawareness, the "cloud hosting merchants" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a disgrace! A huge shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no norms whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such legislative body. That is the reason why the hosting corporations speculate and lie blatantly (quite directly, in fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud web hosting they in fact can supply.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting distributors

If a cPanel-based web hosting wholesaler has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, a lot of web hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. First, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting supplier to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, since constructing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a predicament, loads of money has to be spent too. Stacks of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge obstacle.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel devices (working with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, in the first place you must make one. In-house. Secondly, you must set up the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Contemporary web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to perform on one web server solely. All web hosting services (data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one server where these particular single-server website hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are set up.

The lack of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to devise an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will work faultlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Proper instances of custom set up cloud web hosting systems with custom set up web hosting CPs besides us, at Website Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment rates

The smallest investment demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting solutions can be found out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly unclouded!
