Cloud Web Hosting Description

In general, the real cloud website hosting platform serves individual website hosting services like data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on individual hosts of very advanced servers. Each particular service group forms a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing beside it. They will all run as one web server, sharing the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will construct the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The immense cloud website hosting scam. Very widespread now.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is highly perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. Based on this common unawareness, the "cloud hosting companies" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! A huge disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the hosting industry niche there are no rules whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-governing body. That is why the website hosting suppliers speculate and tell lies openly (quite bluntly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they in reality can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, lots of hosting servers have to be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's explore what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting wholesaler to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, in that constructing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a predicament, loads of cash must be spent too. Mountains of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense disadvantage.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There are no open source web hosting CP GUIs (running with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first of all you must build one. In-house. In the second place, you must devise the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Today's popular website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to operate on one web server solely. All web hosting services (disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on a single web server where these respective one-server web hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are installed.

The absence of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must build an in-house built website hosting CP that will perform flawlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Good examples of custom invented cloud web hosting systems with in-house devised web hosting CPs besides us, at Web Got Consulting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment rates

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