The full truth about the cloud website hosting solution

In general, the real cloud web hosting platform serves distinct hosting services like storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, etc., on different bunches of top-quality web servers. Each particular service group produces a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all perform as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will compose the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The big cloud hosting hoax. Quite widespread nowadays.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is intensely perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud website hosting traders" speculate feverishly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! A huge shame. This is because in the web space hosting industry niche there are no tenets whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-regulative institution. This is why the website hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting supplier has a cloud webspace hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, plenty of servers must be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this review. First, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting corporation to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, as devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of competent personnel are not a predicament, lots of money must be spent as well. Stacks of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a great predicament.

The absence of open source cloud site hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud webspace hosting solutions. There aren't any open source CP instruments (running with the cloud webspace hosting solution) either. Hence, to have a cloud web space hosting system at hand, first you must develop one. In-house. In the second place, you must establish the website hosting CP as well.

Single server-based webspace hosting CPs

Popular CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to operate on a single server exclusively. All website hosting services (disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one single server where these specific single-server hosting platforms and site hosting CPs are set up.

The lack of open source website hosting CPs

So, you must create an in-house built site hosting CP that will operate unproblematically and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible component of it. Proper examples of custom built cloud web hosting platforms with in-house made web site hosting Control Panels are: WebHost-ing.com, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud site hosting hardware equipment expenses

The minimum investment required, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud site hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
