What Does Cloud Website Hosting Signify?

In general, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves separate hosting services such as data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on different stacks of very powerful web servers. Each individual service group constitutes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all function as one server, sharing the service's load in approximately equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there would be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will compose the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The enormous cloud website hosting swindle. Quite widespread at the moment.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is very complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting companies" speculate feverishly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is because in the website hosting business niche there are no decrees at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such regulatory body. This is the reason why the hosting providers speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in reality can deliver.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting providers

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very improbable, loads of hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting supplier to keep the cloud hosting system at hand, because inventing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not a predicament, a lot of cash must be spent too. Piles of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast drawback.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting systems

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

One server-based CPs

Popular website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to perform on a single server only. All website hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these given one-server web hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are set up.

The lack of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to devise an in-house built Control Panel that will operate unproblematically and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible component of it. Appropriate examples of in-house built cloud web hosting platforms with custom devised hosting Control Panels besides us, at the Consult, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision prices

The minimal contribution required, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically cloudless!
