Cloud Web Hosting Explanation

Actually, the actual cloud hosting solution serves distinct hosting services like web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, etc., on autonomous hosts of avant-garde servers. Each particular service pack makes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one single server, sharing the service's load in practically the same proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there must be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The enormous cloud website hosting deceit. Quite widespread at present.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in fact it is excessively complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting suppliers" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is because in the web hosting business niche there are no stipulations whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-governing institution. This is the reason why the web hosting merchandisers speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they actually can furnish.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting vendors

If a cPanel-based hosting company has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very improbable, a lot of web hosting servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting company to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, since developing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not a predicament, plenty of money must be invested too. Heaps of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense predicament.

The lack of open source cloud hosting systems

There are no open source cloud hosting systems. There aren't any open source website hosting CP GUIs (functioning with the cloud web hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, first you must create one. In-house. Secondly, you have to create the web hosting CP too.

One server-based Control Panels

Famous hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to function on one single web server exclusively. All website hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on a single server where these given single-server hosting systems and CPs are installed.

The lack of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must set up a custom hosting CP that will function impeccably and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent component of it. Good examples of custom set up cloud web hosting platforms with in-house devised web hosting CPs besides us, at Progress Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision rates

The minimal investment demanded, only for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and $80,000. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so azure... and almost unclouded!
