The full truth about the cloud website hosting solution
In general, the real cloud hosting platform serves various hosting services such as data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, webspace hosting CP, backup, and so on, on independent sets of very advanced web servers. Each specific service pack creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing else. They will all operate as one single server, sharing the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will beget the so-called cloud webspace hosting platform.
The big cloud hosting deceit. Quite popular at the moment.
There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is supremely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! A huge shame. This is because in the site hosting business there are no ordinances at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web page hosting industry niche has no such supervising body. That is why the website hosting vendors speculate and lie blatantly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they in fact can offer.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web page hosting corporations
If a cPanel-based web page hosting wholesaler has a cloud web space hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, multiple web servers must be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this review. First off, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting retailer to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because of the fact that constructing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a predicament, lots of cash has to be spent too. Piles of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous downside.
The shortage of open source cloud web page hosting platforms
There are no open source cloud web site hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting CP user interfaces (operating with the cloud web site hosting solution) as well. So, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to make one. In-house. Secondly, you must devise the site hosting CP too.
Single server-based web space hosting CPs
Today's popular website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to work on one web server solely. All web hosting services (disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web space hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on a single server where these particular single-server webspace hosting systems and hosting Control Panels are set up.
The lack of open source web space hosting Control Panels
So, you must develop an in-house built webspace hosting CP that will operate uncomplicatedly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent component of it. Proper instances of custom made cloud hosting systems with custom created web site hosting CPs are: NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud web page hosting hardware provision fees
The minimum investment demanded, just for the cloud web space hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting platforms can be found out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
