Cloud Website Hosting Unveiled

Essentially, the actual cloud website hosting platform serves individual hosting services like storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate sets of top-notch web servers. Each separate service set constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all perform as one server, sharing the service's load in practically identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will form the so-called cloud hosting system.

The great cloud web hosting fraud. Very widespread at present.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud hosting at present. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is greatly complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is because in the website hosting industry there are no norms whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such supervising body. That is the reason why the web hosting merchandisers speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud web hosting they in reality can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting wholesaler has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, lots of web servers have to be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this article. First, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting merchant to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, due to the fact that creating one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not an issue, lots of money has to be spent as well. Piles of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge disadvantage.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud hosting systems. There aren't any open source web hosting CP devices (operating with the cloud hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first you have to invent one. In-house. Second of all, you have to fabricate the website hosting CP as well.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Modern web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to function on one single web server only. All web hosting services (disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these given one-server web hosting platforms and hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must construct a custom website hosting Control Panel that will operate unproblematically and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt constituent of it. Appropriate examples of custom developed cloud web hosting platforms with custom invented web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Bald Guy Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision fees

The minimum investment needed, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically cloudless!
