Cloud Website Hosting Explanation

Actually, the actual cloud web hosting platform serves distinct hosting services such as storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent hosts of very advanced servers. Each particular service pack constitutes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all function as one single server, sharing the service's load in approximately equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will create the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The enormous cloud web hosting swindle. Quite widespread at present.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is very perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting companies" speculate fervently, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business niche there are no norms whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such legislative body. This is the reason why the website hosting providers speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they in fact can supply.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting vendors

If a cPanel-based website hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, loads of web hosting servers have to be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting merchandiser to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, since creating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not a problem, loads of cash has to be invested too. Piles of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a big predicament.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud web hosting systems. There are no open source web hosting CP instruments (running with the cloud website hosting system) as well. So, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first you have to develop one. In-house. Secondly, you have to devise the website hosting CP too.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Famous website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to function on one single server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on a single server where these specific single-server website hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to set up a custom hosting Control Panel that will perform uncomplicatedly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt constituent of it. Suitable instances of custom created cloud web hosting platforms with in-house invented website hosting CPs besides us, at Idca Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision costs

The minimum contribution demanded, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be detected out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so blue... and almost unclouded!
