The sheer truth about the cloud website hosting service

In general, the real cloud site hosting platform serves distinct hosting services like storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate sets of high-end servers. Each individual service set makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing else. They will all perform as one single server, sharing the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there would be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a webspace hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will compose the so-called cloud web space hosting platform.

The huge cloud website hosting hoax. Quite common at present.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting today. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this common unawareness, the "cloud webspace hosting distributors" speculate feverishly, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! A huge disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the site hosting business niche there are no principles whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web space hosting industry has no such regulative organization. That is why the web site hosting retailers speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, in fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they indeed can furnish.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting traders

If a cPanel-based webspace hosting vendor has a cloud web space hosting platform at hand, which is very improbable, plenty of web hosting servers have to be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting merchandiser to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, due to the fact that developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not a problem, loads of money must be invested too. Piles of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast disadvantage.

The lack of open source cloud site hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud web page hosting solutions. There are no open source web space hosting CP tools (running with the cloud web site hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web site hosting system at hand, first you have to establish one. In-house. Second of all, you have to fabricate the site hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Famous CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to work on a single web server solely. All webspace hosting services (disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on a single server where these respective one-server web hosting systems and webspace hosting Control Panels are set up.

The absence of open source web site hosting CPs

So, you have to set up a custom web space hosting Control Panel that will function perfectly and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Appropriate examples of in-house made cloud hosting platforms with custom set up web page hosting CPs are: CrownHost, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web site hosting hardware equipment charges

The minimum contribution demanded, only for the cloud site hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so azure... and virtually cloudless!
