The facts about the cloud web site hosting service

Essentially, the actual cloud web space hosting platform serves various hosting services such as data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web space hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate stacks of deluxe web servers. Each specific service set creates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk storage cluster, a mail 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 independent service clusters will create the so-called cloud web space hosting system.

The big cloud web site hosting fraud. Very widespread at present.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting now. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is greatly complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this common ignorance, the "cloud hosting vendors" speculate eagerly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web page hosting industry there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such administrative body. This is why the web page hosting suppliers speculate and lie openly (very directly, in fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they in fact can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web site hosting firm has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, many web hosting servers have to be acquired. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting retailer to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, since developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not a problem, a lot of cash has to be spent too. Heaps of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense disadvantage.

The absence of open source cloud hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web site hosting solutions. There are no open source web page hosting CP tools (running with the cloud web site hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud webspace hosting system at hand, first of all you must fabricate one. In-house. Secondly, you must construct the web hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based web page hosting Control Panels

Famous site hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to operate on one server exclusively. All web hosting services (web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web space hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one web server where these respective single-server website hosting systems and web space hosting CPs are installed.

The deficiency of open source web page hosting Control Panels

So, you must devise a custom website hosting CP that will work uncomplicatedly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural component of it. Suitable examples of in-house made cloud website hosting solutions with in-house created site hosting CPs are: Deposeur.com, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web page hosting hardware equipment costs

The minimum investment required, only for the cloud site hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web page hosting solutions can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
