What Does Cloud Website Hosting Represent?

Actually, the genuine cloud hosting platform serves distinct web hosting services such as data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual groups of avant-garde servers. Each different service pack forms a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one single server, sharing the service's load in practically equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud hosting service, there has to be: a storage space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The colossal cloud web hosting scam. Very common at present.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is intensely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting corporations" speculate feverishly, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars a month. What a shame! A huge disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting industry there are no norms whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-regulative organization. That is the reason why the website hosting traders speculate and tell lies blatantly (very directly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can deliver.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting retailers

If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, plenty of servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting corporation to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, in that creating one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not a problem, plenty of cash has to be invested as well. Piles of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous inconvenience.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting environments

There are no open source cloud web hosting systems. There are no open source hosting Control Panel instruments (operating with the cloud hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to develop one. In-house. Secondly, you have to establish the website hosting CP too.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Famous hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to run on one server only. All hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one server where these particular single-server web hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to establish a custom hosting Control Panel that will operate uncomplicatedly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural part of it. Proper examples of custom manufactured cloud website hosting solutions with in-house invented website hosting Control Panels besides us, at The Georgia Web Warrior Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision costs

The minimal investment wanted, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting systems can be discovered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically unclouded!
