What Precisely is Cloud Hosting?

Actually, the actual cloud hosting solution serves various hosting services such as disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on individual sets of leading edge servers. Each different service group generates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there must be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will form the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The huge cloud hosting swindle. Very widespread at present.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in reality it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting wholesalers" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A vast disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no statutes at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-governing body. That is why the website hosting corporations speculate and tell lies openly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud web hosting they in reality can offer.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting distributors

If a cPanel-based web hosting supplier has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is very improbable, numerous servers have to be secured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting retailer to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, due to the fact that developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a competent staff are not a problem, a lot of money must be invested as well. Mountains of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous downside.

The shortage of open source cloud hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source web hosting CP devices (operating with the cloud hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, in the first place you must make one. In-house. Secondly, you must develop the web hosting CP as well.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Contemporary web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to run on a single web server exclusively. All web hosting services (disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web 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 systems and website hosting CPs are set up.

The absence of open source hosting Control Panels

So, you have to make a custom web hosting Control Panel that will run uncomplicatedly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Proper instances of in-house made cloud website hosting solutions with in-house manufactured web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Mydomains, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment expenses

The smallest contribution required, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud hosting systems can be detected out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and virtually cloudless!
