Cloud Website Hosting Explanation

In general, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves different hosting services like web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate sets of top-quality servers. Each particular service pack makes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one single server, sharing the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there would be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will beget the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The immense cloud web hosting hoax. Quite common these days.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting corporations" speculate feverishly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! A great disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting industry there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-governing institution. That is the reason why the web hosting merchandisers speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud web hosting they actually can distribute.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting providers

If a cPanel-based website hosting supplier has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, many web servers have to be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's find out what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting firm to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not a problem, plenty of cash must be invested too. Mountains of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast problem.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting CP devices (functioning with the cloud web hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, in the first place you must develop one. In-house. In the second place, you must set up the website hosting CP as well.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Modern website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function on a single server exclusively. All web hosting services (disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on one single server where these specific one-server web hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source Control Panels

So, you have to devise an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will perform faultlessly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible component of it. Appropriate examples of custom manufactured cloud web hosting platforms with custom constructed web hosting CPs besides us, at E-PowerWeb, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment charges

The minimal contribution demanded, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and virtually cloudless!
