Cloud Website Hosting Defined

Essentially, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves different web hosting services such as storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on different hosts of avant-garde servers. Each different service set forms a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing else. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will form the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The massive cloud website hosting scam. Quite common today.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud web hosting at the moment. 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 common ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate intensely, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! A big disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no ordinances at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-governing institution. This is the reason why the hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud web hosting they indeed can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting wholesaler has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, lots of hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this review. First off, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting retailer to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that establishing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a problem, lots of cash must be spent too. Mountains of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast problem.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source website hosting CP GUIs (working with the cloud website hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to invent one. In-house. Secondly, you must set up the website hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based CPs

Today's popular web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to work on one server only. All website hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one single server where these particular one-server website hosting systems and web hosting CPs are installed.

The lack of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must build a custom website hosting CP that will perform impeccably and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt constituent of it. Proper instances of in-house set up cloud website hosting solutions with custom made website hosting CPs besides us, at Host it For Me, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision fares

The minimal contribution needed, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
