What is Cloud Website Hosting?

Actually, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves separate hosting services such as storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on different groups of top-quality web servers. Each different service set constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing else. They will all function as one single web server, sharing the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will beget the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The enormous cloud web hosting scam. Quite modern nowadays.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in fact it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting companies" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! A big disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the hosting business niche there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such legislative organization. That is why the website hosting corporations speculate and lie blatantly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud web hosting they indeed can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, numerous servers have to be purchased. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this article. First, let's see what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting firm to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, as developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of professional personnel are not an issue, lots of cash must be invested as well. Mountains of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast predicament.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting systems. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel interfaces (running with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to set up one. In-house. In the second place, you have to devise the website hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based CPs

Modern web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to function on one server exclusively. All web hosting services (storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one single web server where these given single-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must create an in-house built web hosting CP that will perform faultlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent component of it. Proper instances of in-house developed cloud website hosting solutions with custom made web hosting CPs besides us, at Hostingam, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment costs

The smallest investment required, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so azure... and almost unclouded!
