What is Cloud Hosting?
Actually, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves separate website hosting services such as disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, and so on, on independent stacks of top-notch servers. Each single service pack produces a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will render the so-called cloud website hosting system.
The big cloud web hosting scam. Very common at present.
There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in fact it is excessively complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate intensely, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the website hosting business there are no principles whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such supervising organization. That is why the hosting merchants speculate and lie overtly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they in fact can distribute.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting wholesalers
If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is quite unlikely, a lot of hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting firm to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, because developing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not a problem, a lot of cash has to be spent too. Piles of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense defect.
The lack of open source cloud web hosting platforms
There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There aren't any open source Control Panel devices (running with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to create one. In-house. In the second place, you must construct the web hosting CP as well.
Single server-based hosting Control Panels
Popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to operate on a single web server only. All hosting services (disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on a single server where these specific single-server website hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are set up.
The shortage of open source web hosting CPs
So, you have to invent an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will operate flawlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible component of it. Suitable examples of custom set up cloud website hosting systems with in-house invented web hosting CPs besides us, at Hepsia, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud web hosting hardware provision costs
The minimal investment wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and nearly cloudless!
