What Exactly is Cloud Hosting?
In general, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves individual website hosting services like data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual hosts of very powerful web servers. Each different service group makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing beside it. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will beget the so-called cloud web hosting platform.
The huge cloud web hosting fraud. Quite popular these days.
There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is intensely complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud website hosting merchants" speculate intensely, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks a month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no bylaws at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative organization. That is the reason why the website hosting traders speculate and lie blatantly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud web hosting they in reality can furnish.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting merchandisers
If a cPanel-based web hosting merchant has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, lots of servers must be secured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this article. First off, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting firm to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, for making one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not an issue, loads of money must be invested as well. Piles of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous drawback.
The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting solutions
There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel GUIs (operating with the cloud website hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to make one. In-house. In the second place, you must develop the website hosting CP as well.
Single server-based web hosting Control Panels
Modern web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to perform on one single web server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on a single server where these respective single-server web hosting systems and web hosting CPs are installed.
The shortage of open source web hosting CPs
So, you have to fabricate an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will run flawlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Appropriate examples of in-house constructed cloud website hosting platforms with custom made website hosting CPs besides us, at The Hosting Dudes, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud web hosting hardware equipment prices
The minimal contribution demanded, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be discovered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
