What is Cloud Web Hosting?

Actually, the actual cloud website hosting platform serves different web hosting services like data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent hosts of high-end servers. Each specific service pack makes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing else. They will all run as one web server, sharing the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The mammoth cloud hosting fraud. Quite modern these days.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is extremely complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting corporations" speculate strongly, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! A vast disgrace. This is because in the website hosting industry niche there are no tenets whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-regulative institution. This is why the hosting distributors speculate and lie overtly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting merchandisers

If a cPanel-based website hosting corporation has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, multiple web servers have to be purchased. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting merchant to keep the cloud hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a predicament, a lot of money has to be spent as well. Heaps of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous obstacle.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting environments

There are no open source cloud website hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting CP interfaces (running with the cloud hosting solution) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first you must construct one. In-house. Second of all, you must develop the CP too.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Famous web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to work on one single server solely. All web hosting services (disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one single web server where these specific one-server web hosting platforms and hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must fabricate an in-house built website hosting CP that will run faultlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible part of it. Suitable instances of in-house devised cloud web hosting platforms with in-house built website hosting Control Panels besides us, at House Of Blessings Web Ministry, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment expenses

The smallest investment needed, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
