What Does Cloud Web Hosting Represent?

Essentially, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves distinct website hosting services like disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent stacks of top-notch servers. Each particular service group produces a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all function as one single web server, sharing the service's load in practically the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will compose the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The substantial cloud web hosting fraud. Quite common at the moment.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is extremely perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this popular unawareness, the "cloud web hosting companies" speculate intensely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! An immense shame. This is because in the website hosting business there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such administrative institution. This is the reason why the hosting companies speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can offer.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting distributors

If a cPanel-based website hosting vendor has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is very unbelievable, plenty of web servers have to be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's see what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting retailer to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, since inventing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of competent personnel are not a problem, a lot of money must be spent as well. Piles of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense inconvenience.

The lack of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting systems. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel instruments (operating with the cloud website hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, in the first place you have to develop one. In-house. Second of all, you have to develop the website hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Modern hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to perform on one server solely. All web hosting services (storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one server where these given one-server web hosting platforms and hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to build a custom website hosting Control Panel that will perform flawlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Suitable examples of in-house constructed cloud web hosting systems with custom built hosting Control Panels besides us, at TECHNOMERCE, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment prices

The minimum investment wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
