The sheer truth about the cloud website hosting service

In general, the actual cloud web page hosting solution serves separate hosting services like disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web site hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual groups of very powerful web servers. Each different service group makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one server, sharing out the service's load in practically identical proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will make the so-called cloud webspace hosting system.

The great cloud web hosting swindle. Quite common nowadays.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in reality it is intensely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this universal unawareness, the "cloud webspace hosting wholesalers" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the web page hosting business niche there are no principles whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such supervising body. That is the reason why the web site hosting corporations speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they in reality can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web site hosting distributors

If a cPanel-based hosting vendor has a cloud site hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, many web hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting provider to keep the cloud web site hosting system at hand, for building one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a competent staff are not an issue, plenty of cash has to be invested too. Piles of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense problem.

The absence of open source cloud hosting environments

There are no open source cloud site hosting platforms. There are no open source hosting CP tools (functioning with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. So, to have a cloud site hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to construct one. In-house. In the second place, you have to make the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based web site hosting Control Panels

Famous webspace hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to work on one single web server only. All web site hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one single web server where these respective one-server web space hosting platforms and web site hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source webspace hosting Control Panels

So, you must fabricate a custom hosting CP that will perform faultlessly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible part of it. Appropriate instances of in-house constructed cloud web hosting solutions with in-house invented web page hosting CPs are: DuoServer.US, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web page hosting hardware equipment prices

The minimum contribution needed, only for the cloud webspace hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting platforms can be found out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
