The absolute truth about the cloud web hosting solution
Actually, the actual cloud hosting platform serves separate hosting services like storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on different hosts of very advanced servers. Each single service pack constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one web server, sharing the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a webspace hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will build the so-called cloud web space hosting system.
The gigantic cloud web site hosting scam. Very popular nowadays.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is highly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this common unawareness, the "cloud web space hosting vendors" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! A big shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web site hosting business niche there are no regulations at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The site hosting industry has no such legislative institution. This is the reason why the web site hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they actually can distribute.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting vendors
If a cPanel-based web site hosting corporation has a cloud web space hosting system at hand, which is very improbable, loads of web servers have to be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First off, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting supplier to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, since constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a problem, a lot of money must be invested as well. Heaps of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.
The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems
There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source web site hosting Control Panel devices (functioning with the cloud hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, in the first place you have to make one. In-house. In the second place, you have to set up the site hosting CP as well.
Single server-based web site hosting CPs
Today's popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to operate on one single server only. All web page hosting services (web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web space hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on a single web server where these given single-server web hosting systems and webspace hosting CPs are installed.
The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels
So, you have to create a custom web site hosting Control Panel that will function impeccably and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Appropriate instances of in-house created cloud web hosting solutions with custom set up webspace hosting CPs are: NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud web site hosting hardware provision prices
The minimal contribution wanted, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud web page hosting systems can be found out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
