Cloud Web Hosting Explanation

Actually, the actual cloud website hosting platform serves distinct hosting services such as disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent packs of very advanced web servers. Each specific service set produces a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one single server, sharing the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The massive cloud web hosting scam. Very popular now.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is very perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. Based on this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting firms" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! A huge shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative organization. That is why the website hosting firms speculate and tell lies openly (quite bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in reality can supply.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting suppliers

If a cPanel-based website hosting provider has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, multiple hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this story. First, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because of the fact that setting up one requires years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not an issue, a lot of money must be spent as well. Piles of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense predicament.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting systems

There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel user interfaces (running with the cloud web hosting system) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to create one. In-house. In the second place, you have to construct the website hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Famous website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to function on one web server solely. All web hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one single server where these particular single-server website hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source Control Panels

So, you must invent a custom hosting CP that will operate faultlessly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Appropriate examples of in-house built cloud web hosting platforms with custom set up hosting CPs besides us, at Mr. DavyHost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment fees

The minimum contribution wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
