What Precisely is Cloud Web Hosting?

Essentially, the authentic cloud website hosting solution serves different hosting services like disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on different packs of cutting-edge servers. Each separate service group makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The immense cloud website hosting swindle. Very common today.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is greatly complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud hosting merchandisers" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! An immense disgrace. This is because in the website hosting industry niche there are no principles at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative institution. This is why the web hosting suppliers speculate and lie blatantly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they actually can furnish.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting suppliers

If a cPanel-based website hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, multiple web hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting merchant to keep the cloud hosting platform at hand, because making one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a predicament, a lot of money has to be invested as well. Tons of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge disadvantage.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud hosting platforms. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel interfaces (working with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first you must build one. In-house. Second of all, you must invent the website hosting CP as well.

One server-based hosting CPs

Today's popular website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to work on one single web server exclusively. All web hosting services (disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on a single server where these specific single-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to establish an in-house built website hosting CP that will perform faultlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Appropriate instances of in-house created cloud website hosting solutions with in-house devised website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Gambling Site Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision rates

The minimum investment demanded, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so blue... and practically cloudless!
