The sheer truth about the cloud web site hosting service

Essentially, the genuine cloud site hosting platform serves individual hosting services like data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, site hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate packs of cutting-edge servers. Each specific service group constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all function as one web server, sharing the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will create the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The big cloud web hosting hoax. Quite common today.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is extremely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular unawareness, the "cloud web site hosting wholesalers" speculate feverishly, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is because in the web page hosting industry niche there are no regulations at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such administrative body. That is the reason why the web hosting distributors speculate and tell lies blatantly (very directly, in fact) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they in fact can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web space hosting provider has a cloud web site hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, many web hosting servers must be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this article. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting company to have the cloud web site hosting system at hand, due to the fact that constructing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of experienced personnel are not a predicament, loads of money has to be invested too. Heaps of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge problem.

The absence of open source cloud site hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web site hosting solutions. There aren't any open source site hosting CP instruments (working with the cloud webspace hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud site hosting platform at hand, first you must devise one. In-house. In the second place, you have to make the CP too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web site hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to work on a single server solely. All web space hosting services (disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on a single server where these respective single-server site hosting platforms and webspace hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source CPs

So, you have to make an in-house built CP that will run flawlessly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible part of it. Proper examples of custom set up cloud website hosting platforms with in-house set up Control Panels are: WebWorx Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud hosting hardware equipment prices

The smallest contribution wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud web site hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
