What Actually is Cloud Website Hosting?

Actually, the real cloud web hosting platform serves various web hosting services such as storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous packs of top-notch web servers. Each single service set creates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The mammoth cloud website hosting trick. Very widespread these days.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is extremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! An immense shame. This is because in the web hosting business there are no laws at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such legislative institution. This is why the hosting wholesalers speculate and lie blatantly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud web hosting they actually can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting supplier has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is very unbelievable, loads of servers must be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First off, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting merchant to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, since fabricating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a problem, plenty of cash has to be invested as well. Stacks of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast obstacle.

The lack of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There aren't any open source web hosting CP user interfaces (functioning with the cloud web hosting system) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to construct one. In-house. Second of all, you must make the hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Contemporary website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to function on one single web server exclusively. All web hosting services (web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one single web server where these given one-server website hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The absence of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to devise a custom web hosting Control Panel that will operate impeccably and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent part of it. Good examples of in-house devised cloud hosting platforms with in-house built web hosting Control Panels besides us, at EXTEC, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment rates

The smallest contribution needed, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and nearly cloudless!
