Cloud Hosting Description

In general, the actual cloud web hosting solution serves separate website hosting services such as data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on independent hosts of leading edge servers. Each single service set makes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one web server, sharing the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will build the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The big cloud web hosting fraud. Very popular nowadays.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting these days. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is very perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. Based on this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchandisers" speculate feverishly, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! An enormous shame. This is because in the website hosting business there are no laws at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such administrative organization. That is why the hosting vendors speculate and tell lies openly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they indeed can supply.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting wholesalers

If a cPanel-based website hosting merchandiser has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, multiple servers have to be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this article. First off, let's find out what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting distributor to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, due to the fact that building one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not an issue, a lot of cash must be invested as well. Heaps of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge defect.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting solutions. There are no open source hosting CP GUIs (running with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. So, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, in the first place you must develop one. In-house. In the second place, you have to make the web hosting CP as well.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Today's popular website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to perform on a single server solely. All website hosting services (web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one server where these given one-server website hosting systems and web hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must develop a custom website hosting CP that will run flawlessly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible part of it. Good examples of in-house set up cloud web hosting systems with in-house manufactured CPs besides us, at hostprod.com, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment charges

The minimal investment needed, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
