Cloud Website Hosting Unmasked

Essentially, the actual cloud web hosting solution serves distinct web hosting services such as disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual hosts of cutting-edge servers. Each individual service pack forms a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all operate as one single server, sharing out the service's load in practically equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol 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 form the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The mammoth cloud website hosting fraud. Quite common today.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is supremely perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting distributors" speculate intensely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no laws whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative institution. That is the reason why the web hosting vendors speculate and lie overtly (quite directly, actually) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud web hosting they indeed can provide.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting merchants

If a cPanel-based web hosting provider has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, many web servers must be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this article. First, let's explore what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting corporation to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, for devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient team are not a predicament, a lot of money must be invested too. Heaps of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a big defect.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web hosting CP devices (running with the cloud web hosting system) as well. So, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to construct one. In-house. Secondly, you have to make the website hosting CP as well.

Single server-based website hosting Control Panels

Modern hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to perform on a single server exclusively. All website hosting services (web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single server where these given single-server web hosting systems and Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must build a custom CP that will function unproblematically and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible component of it. Appropriate examples of custom invented cloud web hosting solutions with custom built Control Panels besides us, at wd3web, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment rates

The minimal investment demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and nearly cloudless!
