The pure thruth about the cloud web page hosting service
In general, the real cloud hosting solution serves various hosting services such as data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, and so on, on different hosts of leading edge web servers. Each specific service set produces a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web page hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will build the so-called cloud web page hosting platform.
The big cloud web page hosting deceit. Quite modern these days.
There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is excessively complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular unawareness, the "cloud website hosting retailers" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A vast disgrace. This is because in the web space hosting business there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such administrative body. That is the reason why the hosting wholesalers speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they in fact can distribute.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting providers
If a cPanel-based webspace hosting supplier has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, many hosting servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this article. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting retailer to have the cloud webspace hosting platform at hand, since devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not an issue, plenty of cash must be spent as well. Piles of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a great disadvantage.
The shortage of open source cloud web space hosting environments
There are no open source cloud web site hosting environments. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel GUIs (operating with the cloud web space hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, in the first place you must devise one. In-house. Second of all, you must build the web hosting CP too.
One server-based CPs
Popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to function on one single server only. All website hosting services (web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, site hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on a single server where these respective one-server site hosting platforms and web space hosting Control Panels are set up.
The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels
So, you must develop an in-house built Control Panel that will run flawlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt constituent of it. Suitable examples of custom developed cloud website hosting platforms with in-house developed web space hosting Control Panels are: NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud hosting hardware equipment prices
The smallest contribution wanted, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be detected out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
