Cloud Web Hosting Defined

In general, the genuine cloud web hosting solution serves distinct hosting services such as disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous groups of top-notch web servers. Each single service pack forms a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing else. They will all operate as one server, sharing the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a storage space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will beget the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The colossal cloud website hosting fraud. Very popular nowadays.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud hosting distributors" speculate intensely, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such administrative institution. This is why the web hosting traders speculate and lie openly (quite bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they in reality can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting vendor has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, numerous web servers have to be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting distributor to keep the cloud hosting platform at hand, for constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of competent personnel are not a problem, lots of cash has to be invested as well. Piles of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge problem.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel instruments (working with the cloud web hosting system) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first you have to devise one. In-house. Second of all, you must build the web hosting CP too.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Modern web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to operate on one single web server solely. All web hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on a single server where these given single-server web hosting systems and website hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source hosting Control Panels

So, you must invent an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will perform uncomplicatedly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Good instances of custom set up cloud web hosting solutions with in-house manufactured hosting CPs besides us, at Blue Domain Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment fees

The smallest investment wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and $80,000. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and practically cloudless!
