The sheer truth about the cloud hosting service

Essentially, the real cloud website hosting solution serves individual hosting services like disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, etc., on different sets of very powerful web servers. Each separate service pack constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all work as one server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will form the so-called cloud web page hosting platform.

The big cloud web page hosting deceit. Very modern nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting now. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is supremely complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this popular ignorance, the "cloud webspace hosting retailers" speculate feverishly, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A huge disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The site hosting industry has no such supervisory body. That is why the hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies openly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they in reality can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based web space hosting wholesaler has a cloud site hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, a lot of hosting servers have to be secured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this review. First off, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting merchant to have the cloud web space hosting platform at hand, for developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a problem, lots of cash must be spent too. Heaps of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a big defect.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud site hosting platforms. There are no open source site hosting Control Panel instruments (operating with the cloud site hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first you have to set up one. In-house. Second of all, you have to fabricate the web site hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based site hosting CPs

Today's popular webspace hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to function on one single server exclusively. All web page hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single server where these given single-server web site hosting platforms and web site hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source webspace hosting CPs

So, you must develop a custom webspace hosting CP that will operate faultlessly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Proper examples of in-house devised cloud web hosting platforms with in-house built website hosting CPs are: NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud webspace hosting hardware provision prices

The smallest contribution demanded, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be found out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and virtually cloudless!
