What Exactly is Cloud Hosting?

In general, the actual cloud web hosting solution serves individual website hosting services like disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent stacks of top-notch web servers. Each different service pack generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all function as one server, sharing out the service's load in almost identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will produce the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The immense cloud web hosting fraud. Very modern at present.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is extremely complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting firms" speculate strongly, just to secure the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business niche there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such administrative institution. This is the reason why the web hosting companies speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud web hosting they actually can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting vendor has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, loads of hosting servers must be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting trader to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, in that establishing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a predicament, loads of money has to be spent too. Piles of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous disadvantage.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel devices (running with the cloud website hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first of all you have to invent one. In-house. In the second place, you have to establish the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Popular hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to run on a single web server only. All web hosting services (disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on one single server where these particular one-server web hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to set up an in-house built web hosting CP that will function unproblematically and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Good examples of custom devised cloud website hosting solutions with custom set up web hosting CPs besides us, at WebHostism, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment costs

The minimum investment needed, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
