What Does Cloud Web Hosting Stand for?

Essentially, the genuine cloud hosting solution serves distinct website hosting services such as disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on different sets of cutting-edge web servers. Each separate service group generates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single server, sharing the service's load in nearly identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud hosting service, there has to be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol 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 generate the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The big cloud web hosting scam. Quite modern at the moment.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is extremely perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting companies" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! An immense shame. This is because in the web hosting industry there are no regulations at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulatory organization. This is the reason why the web hosting vendors speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they indeed can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is very unbelievable, loads of hosting servers must be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this article. First, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting company to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, as establishing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not a predicament, a lot of money has to be spent too. Stacks of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous predicament.

The shortage of open source cloud hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud web hosting solutions. There are no open source Control Panel user interfaces (operating with the cloud web hosting platform) either. Hence, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, in the first place you must make one. In-house. Second of all, you must invent the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based CPs

Contemporary hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to perform on one single web server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on a single web server where these given one-server website hosting platforms and hosting Control Panels are installed.

The absence of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must develop an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will operate impeccably and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Proper instances of in-house invented cloud web hosting platforms with custom made web hosting Control Panels besides us, at GlobalNet WebHosting - Hepsia Control Panel, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment fares

The minimal investment wanted, only for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and almost cloudless!
