Cloud Website Hosting Clarified

Essentially, the real cloud web hosting platform serves different hosting services like storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on different bunches of leading edge servers. Each different service group makes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The massive cloud web hosting scam. Very modern these days.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is greatly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this common ignorance, the "cloud website hosting companies" speculate fiercely, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is because in the web hosting industry there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such regulatory body. This is the reason why the web hosting traders speculate and lie overtly (quite bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they in fact can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting trader has a cloud hosting platform at hand, which is very unlikely, multiple servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting wholesaler to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, because devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient team are not an issue, plenty of cash must be invested too. Heaps of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense drawback.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting systems. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel GUIs (operating with the cloud web hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to set up one. In-house. Secondly, you have to set up the CP too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Popular website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to perform on one server only. All web hosting services (web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one single server where these given one-server website hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must create a custom website hosting Control Panel that will function impeccably and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible part of it. Good examples of custom developed cloud web hosting solutions with in-house devised web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Egavas Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision rates

The smallest contribution required, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
