Explanation of Cloud Website Hosting
Essentially, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves individual web hosting services like disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on different packs of very advanced servers. Each different service group creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all function as one server, sharing out the service's load in practically the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web hosting system.
The big cloud web hosting fraud. Very common now.
There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only seem perplexing, but actually it is intensely complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this widespread unawareness, the "cloud hosting firms" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-controlling institution. This is the reason why the website hosting suppliers speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, in fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they actually can furnish.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting firms
If a cPanel-based website hosting wholesaler has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very unbelievable, many hosting servers must be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First off, let's find out what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting provider to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, in that setting up one requires years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not a predicament, a lot of cash must be spent as well. Tons of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense disadvantage.
The shortage of open source cloud web hosting environments
There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There are no open source CP GUIs (working with the cloud web hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to build one. In-house. Secondly, you must set up the website hosting CP too.
Single server-based web hosting Control Panels
Contemporary CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to perform on one web server only. All web hosting services (disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on a single server where these respective one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.
The absence of open source web hosting CPs
So, you have to invent an in-house built hosting CP that will function unproblematically and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Good instances of custom set up cloud hosting solutions with custom developed web hosting CPs besides us, at , are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud web hosting hardware equipment rates
The minimal investment needed, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting platforms can be found out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
