The truth about the cloud web page hosting service
Essentially, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves different hosting services such as disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on different stacks of very powerful servers. Each individual service pack makes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing else. They will all work as one server, sharing out the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a site hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will build the so-called cloud hosting platform.
The mammoth cloud web page hosting hoax. Quite common nowadays.
There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is supremely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this popular unawareness, the "cloud web site hosting corporations" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the website hosting business there are no tenets at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web space hosting industry niche has no such regulatory body. That is why the web hosting vendors speculate and tell lies overtly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they indeed can furnish.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web site hosting wholesalers
If a cPanel-based web page hosting wholesaler has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, multiple hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting wholesaler to have the cloud web space hosting platform at hand, for developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not an issue, plenty of money has to be invested as well. Piles of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast disadvantage.
The lack of open source cloud website hosting solutions
There are no open source cloud hosting platforms. There are no open source web space hosting CP interfaces (operating with the cloud webspace hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web page hosting solution at hand, first you have to build one. In-house. In the second place, you have to build the web space hosting Control Panel too.
One server-based website hosting CPs
Today's popular CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to work on a single web server solely. All web site hosting services (disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, webspace hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one single server where these specific one-server website hosting platforms and webspace hosting CPs are set up.
The lack of open source site hosting CPs
So, you must set up an in-house built hosting Control Panel that will operate faultlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Appropriate instances of in-house set up cloud web hosting systems with in-house manufactured website hosting CPs are: 9 Cube Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud web site hosting hardware equipment prices
The minimum contribution demanded, just for the cloud web space hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud webspace hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually unclouded!
