What Does Cloud Hosting Stand for?
Actually, the genuine cloud web hosting solution serves various website hosting services like disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate sets of top-quality servers. Each single service group generates a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing else. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there should be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will make the so-called cloud website hosting platform.
The substantial cloud web hosting fraud. Quite modern at present.
There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is supremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this universal unawareness, the "cloud web hosting distributors" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! A huge disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no ordinances whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such supervisory body. That is the reason why the hosting corporations speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud web hosting they indeed can furnish.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting merchants
If a cPanel-based website hosting distributor has a cloud hosting platform at hand, which is very improbable, a lot of servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First off, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting provider to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, as building one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient team are not a problem, loads of money must be invested too. Stacks of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense obstacle.
The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting solutions
There are no open source cloud website hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting CP user interfaces (running with the cloud website hosting platform) either. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first you have to devise one. In-house. In the second place, you must establish the website hosting Control Panel as well.
Single server-based website hosting Control Panels
Today's popular website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to work on a single server only. All web hosting services (web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these respective one-server web hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are set up.
The lack of open source website hosting Control Panels
So, you have to fabricate a custom website hosting Control Panel that will operate unproblematically and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Suitable examples of custom built cloud web hosting platforms with in-house manufactured website hosting Control Panels besides us, at , are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud web hosting hardware provision prices
The smallest contribution needed, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost cloudless!
