Explanation of Cloud Web Hosting

Essentially, the actual cloud hosting platform serves distinct hosting services such as disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous groups of top-quality web servers. Each particular service pack constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will construct the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The massive cloud website hosting scam. Very modern at the moment.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting now. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is supremely perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate strongly, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! An immense shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no bylaws at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such regulatory organization. That is the reason why the web hosting vendors speculate and tell lies overtly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud web hosting they actually can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting wholesaler has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, a lot of web hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this article. First off, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting trader to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, because creating one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not an issue, a lot of money has to be invested too. Tons of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge predicament.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting CP devices (functioning with the cloud hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to fabricate one. In-house. Second of all, you have to construct the web hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Modern hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function on one single web server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one server where these respective single-server website hosting platforms and hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source hosting Control Panels

So, you must invent an in-house built web hosting CP that will operate flawlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Proper examples of custom manufactured cloud website hosting solutions with custom constructed hosting CPs besides us, at Pepcube Web Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment fees

The minimal investment needed, only for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and almost cloudless!
