How Cloud Website Hosting Works

Actually, the real cloud hosting solution serves various web hosting services like data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate bunches of high-end web servers. Each single service set generates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all run as one web server, sharing out the service's load in practically equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these independent service clusters will form the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The enormous cloud web hosting scam. Very modern now.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only appear perplexing, but actually it is very complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud web hosting wholesalers" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no tenets at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such regulative organization. That is the reason why the hosting retailers speculate and lie overtly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they in reality can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, plenty of web hosting servers must be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting merchant to keep the cloud hosting system at hand, as constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a predicament, a lot of money has to be invested too. Mountains of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a great downside.

The absence of open source cloud hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud website hosting systems. There aren't any open source web hosting CP user interfaces (operating with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first you must develop one. In-house. Second of all, you have to make the hosting CP as well.

One server-based Control Panels

Today's popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to function on one web server solely. All web hosting services (disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on a single web server where these specific one-server website hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to make a custom hosting CP that will perform flawlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent part of it. Suitable instances of in-house manufactured cloud web hosting platforms with in-house built hosting CPs besides us, at Hosting for Local Business, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment expenses

The minimal investment demanded, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud hosting platforms can be detected out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and practically unclouded!
