What Does Cloud Website Hosting Denote?

Actually, the actual cloud hosting solution serves different website hosting services like storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate packs of deluxe servers. Each separate service group makes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there has to be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The gigantic cloud website hosting hoax. Very common these days.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting retailers" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! A great disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no principles whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-controlling institution. That is why the web hosting retailers speculate and lie blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they indeed can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting supplier has a cloud hosting platform at hand, which is quite improbable, a lot of web hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting retailer to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, as making one takes years. Even when time and the provision of competent personnel are not a predicament, loads of money must be spent too. Stacks of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a big obstacle.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There aren't any open source web hosting CP interfaces (running with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, first you have to build one. In-house. Secondly, you must build the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Modern web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function on a single web server exclusively. All website hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one single web server where these particular one-server website hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The absence of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must fabricate an in-house built website hosting CP that will operate uncomplicatedly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Proper examples of in-house built cloud web hosting solutions with in-house made website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Mujica Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision expenses

The smallest contribution required, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly unclouded!
