The truth about the cloud hosting solution

In general, the authentic cloud web page hosting solution serves separate hosting services such as web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual hosts of leading edge servers. Each different service group makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all function as one single web server, sharing the service's load in almost identical proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web site hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will make the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The great cloud web hosting scam. Quite popular nowadays.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is extremely perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud web page hosting firms" speculate fervently, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a shame! A great shame. This is due to the fact that in the hosting industry there are no norms at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulatory institution. That is the reason why the website hosting distributors speculate and tell lies openly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they actually can supply.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" webspace hosting merchants

If a cPanel-based web site hosting trader has a cloud web site hosting platform at hand, which is quite unlikely, loads of web hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting provider to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, owing to the fact that establishing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not a problem, a lot of money must be invested as well. Tons of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge predicament.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web site hosting platforms. There are no open source web page hosting CP devices (operating with the cloud web site hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web page hosting platform at hand, in the first place you have to invent one. In-house. Secondly, you have to invent the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based hosting CPs

Contemporary website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to perform on one single web server only. All website hosting services (web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web page hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single server where these particular single-server web page hosting platforms and webspace hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to devise a custom Control Panel that will work uncomplicatedly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Proper instances of custom developed cloud hosting platforms with custom created web page hosting CPs are: WebHost-ing.com, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud webspace hosting hardware equipment rates

The minimum investment required, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud webspace hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
