What Does Cloud Website Hosting Signify?

In general, the authentic cloud hosting platform serves various hosting services such as disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate hosts of very powerful servers. Each individual service group constitutes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all run as one single server, sharing the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will make the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The gigantic cloud web hosting deceit. Very modern at the moment.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is highly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud web hosting suppliers" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the client and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! An enormous disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such self-controlling body. That is the reason why the web hosting suppliers speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud web hosting they indeed can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting corporation has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very unbelievable, numerous web hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First off, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting corporation to keep the cloud hosting system at hand, due to the fact that constructing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified staff are not an issue, plenty of cash has to be spent as well. Piles of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a big drawback.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting systems. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel interfaces (operating with the cloud website hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to create one. In-house. In the second place, you must make the Control Panel as well.

One server-based hosting CPs

Contemporary website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to function on one single web server exclusively. All web hosting services (disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on a single server where these specific single-server web hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source website hosting CPs

So, you must establish a custom website hosting CP that will function perfectly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent part of it. Appropriate examples of in-house made cloud website hosting systems with in-house built Control Panels besides us, at Mydomains, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment prices

The smallest contribution demanded, only for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and nearly cloudless!
