Cloud Website Hosting Revealed

Essentially, the genuine cloud web hosting solution serves distinct website hosting services such as web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on separate sets of very advanced web servers. Each individual service pack generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one single server, sharing out the service's load in approximately identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will produce the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The massive cloud web hosting fraud. Quite widespread these days.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud web hosting today. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is supremely complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud hosting wholesalers" speculate intensely, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! A great disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no statutes at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulatory organization. That is why the web hosting distributors speculate and tell lies openly (quite directly, actually) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they in fact can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is very improbable, numerous web hosting servers must be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting corporation to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, since setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not a predicament, lots of money must be invested as well. Mountains of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast defect.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel interfaces (functioning with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, in the first place you must fabricate one. In-house. Second of all, you have to build the hosting CP too.

Single server-based hosting CPs

Today's popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to perform on a single web server only. All hosting services (web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these particular single-server website hosting systems and CPs are set up.

The lack of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must make a custom website hosting CP that will function unproblematically and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Proper examples of custom created cloud web hosting platforms with in-house devised website hosting CPs besides us, at AllCloudHost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision costs

The minimal contribution demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and almost unclouded!
