What Indeed is Cloud Hosting?

In general, the actual cloud website hosting platform serves different website hosting services such as web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on different packs of cutting-edge web servers. Each particular service set produces a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a disk 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, etc. All these independent service clusters will produce the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The substantial cloud web hosting swindle. Very popular at present.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is excessively complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchandisers" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! A big shame. This is due to the fact that in the hosting business there are no norms at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervising institution. That is why the web hosting vendors speculate and lie blatantly (quite bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they in fact can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, lots of web servers have to be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this review. First, let's explore what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting company to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because building one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a predicament, a lot of money has to be spent too. Mountains of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge predicament.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel tools (operating with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first you must invent one. In-house. In the second place, you have to devise the website hosting CP too.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Contemporary web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to work on one web server exclusively. All website hosting services (data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one single web server where these specific single-server web hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must build an in-house built Control Panel that will operate flawlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent component of it. Appropriate instances of custom constructed cloud web hosting systems with in-house devised website hosting CPs besides us, at Cmstechovation Enterprise, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision fares

The smallest contribution wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
