The absolute truth about the cloud website hosting solution
Essentially, the actual cloud web hosting solution serves various hosting services such as web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on different packs of cutting-edge web servers. Each separate service set constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing else. They will all operate as one web server, sharing the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there would be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will render the so-called cloud web page hosting platform.
The big cloud website hosting swindle. Very common today.
There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is very perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web site hosting vendors" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the web site hosting business niche there are no norms whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web space hosting industry has no such administrative body. That is why the web hosting corporations speculate and lie blatantly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they actually can distribute.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web site hosting merchants
If a cPanel-based webspace hosting merchandiser has a cloud web site hosting platform at hand, which is quite unlikely, a lot of servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting provider to keep the cloud web site hosting platform at hand, in that inventing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified staff are not a problem, plenty of money must be invested as well. Piles of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a big inconvenience.
The lack of open source cloud web space hosting platforms
There aren't any open source cloud hosting environments. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel interfaces (functioning with the cloud hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web space hosting system at hand, first of all you must develop one. In-house. Secondly, you have to construct the Control Panel as well.
One server-based web site hosting Control Panels
Popular webspace hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to perform on one single web server only. All website hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one single web server where these particular single-server web space hosting platforms and hosting CPs are installed.
The absence of open source hosting Control Panels
So, you have to invent a custom webspace hosting CP that will operate perfectly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Good examples of custom invented cloud hosting systems with in-house invented webspace hosting CPs are: NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud website hosting hardware provision costs
The smallest contribution required, only for the cloud web page hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud web space hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and practically cloudless!
