Cloud Website Hosting Explanation

Essentially, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves different web hosting services like data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on different hosts of high-end servers. Each separate service pack generates a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one server, sharing out the service's load in almost identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there would be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol 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 separate service clusters will compose the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The gigantic cloud website hosting deceit. Quite common now.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud web hosting today. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is intensely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this universal unawareness, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! A great shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no decrees whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-controlling institution. That is the reason why the website hosting companies speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they indeed can provide.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting merchants

If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, multiple web hosting servers must be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this review. But before we do, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting merchant to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that constructing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified staff are not a problem, loads of money must be invested as well. Piles of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge inconvenience.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting systems

There are no open source cloud web hosting systems. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel user interfaces (running with the cloud website hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first you must build one. In-house. Second of all, you must set up the web hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Popular website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to operate on one single server solely. All web hosting services (web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one web server where these respective single-server website hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to invent an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will perform perfectly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Proper examples of custom built cloud website hosting platforms with in-house invented website hosting Control Panels besides us, at ThreeMen.Net, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment costs

The minimal investment demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly unclouded!
