The absolute truth about the cloud web site hosting solution
Essentially, the real cloud website hosting solution serves separate hosting services like disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, etc., on separate bunches of high-end web servers. Each specific service set produces a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there should be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a site hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will construct the so-called cloud web hosting platform.
The immense cloud web page hosting scam. Quite popular today.
There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is greatly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this common unawareness, the "cloud site hosting wholesalers" speculate eagerly, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! An enormous shame. This is because in the web space hosting business niche there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such administrative institution. This is why the web site hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they in fact can furnish.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web space hosting merchandisers
If a cPanel-based webspace hosting trader has a cloud web page hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, a lot of servers must be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting supplier to have the cloud hosting system at hand, in that fabricating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not an issue, a lot of cash must be invested as well. Piles of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge downside.
The shortage of open source cloud webspace hosting platforms
There are no open source cloud web space hosting systems. There are no open source web page hosting Control Panel tools (working with the cloud site hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you must create one. In-house. Secondly, you have to make the website hosting Control Panel as well.
One server-based web page hosting Control Panels
Today's popular site hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to perform on one server exclusively. All web page hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, webspace hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on a single server where these particular one-server webspace hosting platforms and web site hosting Control Panels are set up.
The lack of open source Control Panels
So, you must build a custom webspace hosting Control Panel that will work uncomplicatedly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible component of it. Good examples of custom built cloud web hosting platforms with custom developed webspace hosting CPs are: WebHost-ing.com, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud website hosting hardware equipment charges
The minimal investment needed, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
