The truth about the cloud hosting service

Essentially, the actual cloud web page hosting platform serves distinct hosting services such as web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web site hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual bunches of high-end web servers. Each different service pack generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all function as one single web server, sharing the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web site hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will form the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The enormous cloud website hosting fraud. Very common at present.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud hosting suppliers" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! A huge disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the site hosting business niche there are no regulations at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The webspace hosting industry niche has no such administrative organization. That is the reason why the web space hosting wholesalers speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based webspace hosting provider has a cloud webspace hosting system at hand, which is very unbelievable, lots of web servers have to be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting retailer to have the cloud web page hosting system at hand, in that constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a competent staff are not an issue, lots of money has to be spent too. Stacks of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast predicament.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud web site hosting solutions. There are no open source web site hosting CP GUIs (operating with the cloud web site hosting solution) as well. So, to have a cloud web space hosting platform at hand, first of all you must fabricate one. In-house. Secondly, you have to devise the webspace hosting CP as well.

Single server-based web site hosting Control Panels

Modern web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to operate on a single web server solely. All site hosting services (storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, site hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one single server where these particular single-server web hosting systems and web page hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source site hosting CPs

So, you have to make an in-house built web site hosting CP that will operate unproblematically and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible part of it. Good instances of custom invented cloud website hosting solutions with in-house created website hosting CPs are: TNL Cloud Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment costs

The minimum investment required, just for the cloud web site hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly cloudless!
