Explanation of Cloud Website Hosting

In general, the real cloud web hosting solution serves individual website hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual stacks of top-notch servers. Each individual service pack produces a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all work as one web server, sharing the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will compose the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The mammoth cloud website hosting scam. Quite modern at present.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is supremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud hosting vendors" speculate eagerly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no stipulations at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such administrative institution. That is the reason why the hosting retailers speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud web hosting they in fact can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting company has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very improbable, numerous servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting company to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, because setting up one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not an issue, plenty of money has to be spent too. Tons of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense downside.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting CP interfaces (running with the cloud web hosting platform) either. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to create one. In-house. Secondly, you have to construct the website hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based Control Panels

Contemporary hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to work on one single server only. All website hosting services (data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on a single server where these particular one-server website hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must build a custom hosting CP that will perform unproblematically and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Proper examples of in-house devised cloud website hosting solutions with custom constructed web hosting CPs besides us, at HostFraser.com, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision charges

The smallest contribution demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so blue... and almost unclouded!
