Curious facts about the cloud web space hosting service

Essentially, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves different hosting services like web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate packs of high-end servers. Each individual service group creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all function as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in almost identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there must be: a storage 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 individual service clusters will beget the so-called cloud web site hosting platform.

The great cloud web hosting fraud. Quite common today.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only seem perplexing, but actually it is extremely perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this popular unawareness, the "cloud web site hosting vendors" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no statutes at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web site hosting industry has no such self-governing body. This is why the web site hosting distributors speculate and tell lies overtly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can furnish.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting providers

If a cPanel-based web hosting wholesaler has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, loads of web hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting provider to keep the cloud webspace hosting system at hand, because of the fact that developing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a problem, a lot of cash must be invested too. Tons of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous predicament.

The lack of open source cloud site hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud hosting solutions. There aren't any open source webspace hosting CP GUIs (working with the cloud web hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to make one. In-house. Second of all, you have to develop the Control Panel as well.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Modern web space hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to operate on one single web server solely. All web space hosting services (disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, webspace hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one single web server where these specific one-server web hosting systems and web site hosting CPs are installed.

The lack of open source Control Panels

So, you must construct an in-house built site hosting Control Panel that will work impeccably and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible part of it. Good instances of custom created cloud web hosting systems with custom created hosting Control Panels are: TopDomainCheck.com, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment prices

The minimum contribution required, just for the cloud web site hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
