What is Cloud Web Hosting?

Actually, the real cloud website hosting platform serves various website hosting services such as disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous bunches of top-notch web servers. Each individual service pack forms a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one single server, sharing out the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website 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 great cloud hosting trick. Very common today.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in reality it is excessively complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting corporations" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is because in the website hosting business niche there are no principles at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such supervisory body. This is the reason why the hosting firms speculate and tell lies overtly (very directly, in fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting distributor has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, many web hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting trader to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, due to the fact that setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not an issue, a lot of cash must be invested too. Tons of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense disadvantage.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source hosting Control Panel instruments (functioning with the cloud web hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first you must establish one. In-house. Second of all, you must make the web hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Modern web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to perform on one web server exclusively. All web hosting services (data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one web server where these given single-server hosting systems and Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source CPs

So, you must invent an in-house built web hosting CP that will function uncomplicatedly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Appropriate instances of in-house constructed cloud web hosting systems with in-house built web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Elwhed Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment fees

The minimum contribution required, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be detected out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so azure... and virtually cloudless!
