Explanation of Cloud Hosting

In general, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves various hosting services like disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual sets of very powerful servers. Each separate service group forms a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The gigantic cloud web hosting trick. Very common these days.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is highly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting distributors" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no decrees at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulatory organization. That is why the web hosting merchants speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud web hosting they actually can furnish.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting merchants

If a cPanel-based web hosting supplier has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, many servers must be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this story. First, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting supplier to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, as developing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of experienced personnel are not a problem, lots of money has to be invested as well. Heaps of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge obstacle.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source website hosting CP instruments (working with the cloud hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first you must create one. In-house. Second of all, you have to construct the web hosting CP too.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Popular Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to function on one single server exclusively. All website hosting services (data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on one single server where these respective one-server website hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The deficiency of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to invent a custom website hosting Control Panel that will operate uncomplicatedly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural component of it. Appropriate examples of custom manufactured cloud web hosting systems with in-house built hosting CPs besides us, at Helios Host, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision charges

The minimum contribution wanted, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
