What In Fact is Cloud Website Hosting?

In general, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves various web hosting services like disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous sets of very powerful servers. Each different service set constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud hosting system.

The enormous cloud website hosting swindle. Very modern today.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in reality it is supremely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no laws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such supervisory organization. That is the reason why the hosting distributors speculate and lie blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they in reality can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting merchants

If a cPanel-based web hosting company has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, multiple web hosting servers must be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First, let's see what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting wholesaler to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, owing to the fact that establishing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a problem, plenty of cash must be spent too. Tons of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense inconvenience.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud hosting solutions. There aren't any open source web hosting CP tools (running with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you must create one. In-house. Second of all, you have to invent the website hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Contemporary web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to run on one server only. All hosting services (storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one single web server where these specific one-server hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The absence of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to make a custom website hosting CP that will perform unproblematically and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Suitable examples of in-house made cloud web hosting platforms with in-house built hosting CPs besides us, at Website Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision expenses

The smallest investment required, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting platforms can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and almost unclouded!
