What Does Cloud Website Hosting Stand for?

In general, the genuine cloud web hosting solution serves individual hosting services like data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate groups of high-end servers. Each particular service pack produces a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all run as one server, sharing the service's load in almost identical proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will create the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The big cloud web hosting deceit. Quite modern nowadays.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud hosting now. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in fact it is very perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting wholesalers" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! An immense shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no decrees at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulative institution. This is the reason why the website hosting traders speculate and lie blatantly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they actually can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based hosting company has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, many hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting retailer to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, since fabricating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a problem, a lot of cash must be spent as well. Tons of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense disadvantage.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting systems. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel GUIs (running with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first you have to establish one. In-house. In the second place, you have to fabricate the website hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Contemporary website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to run on one server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on a single server where these specific single-server website hosting systems and website hosting CPs are installed.

The deficiency of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must invent an in-house built web hosting CP that will operate uncomplicatedly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Good examples of in-house developed cloud web hosting systems with custom made CPs besides us, at k9 Web Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision fares

The minimum contribution required, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting platforms can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly cloudless!
