Cloud Web Hosting Uncovered

In general, the real cloud website hosting platform serves separate hosting services such as web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous packs of high-end web servers. Each individual service group produces a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one single server, sharing out the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will compose the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The big cloud web hosting fraud. Quite widespread nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only appear perplexing, but actually it is excessively complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this popular ignorance, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate eagerly, just to secure the client and his/her five bucks per month. What a shame! A vast disgrace. This is because in the web hosting industry there are no stipulations at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such legislative institution. That is the reason why the hosting providers speculate and lie blatantly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud web hosting they in reality can offer.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting companies

If a cPanel-based website hosting corporation has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, many web hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this story. First off, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting firm to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, since fabricating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of experienced personnel are not a problem, loads of money must be invested as well. Piles of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a big defect.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel user interfaces (working with the cloud website hosting system) either. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, in the first place you must create one. In-house. In the second place, you must construct the web hosting CP too.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Today's popular web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to work on one server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one web server where these respective one-server website hosting systems and CPs are installed.

The absence of open source hosting Control Panels

So, you have to make a custom CP that will function unproblematically and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural component of it. Appropriate examples of custom devised cloud web hosting systems with in-house set up website hosting CPs besides us, at Sky Dragon Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision fares

The minimal investment needed, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically cloudless!
