Cloud Web Hosting Description

Essentially, the real cloud web hosting platform serves different web hosting services such as disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent sets of very advanced web servers. Each separate service set makes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one server, sharing the service's load in almost equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should 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 Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The substantial cloud web hosting swindle. Very widespread now.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting companies" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! An immense disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such supervisory body. That is why the web hosting suppliers speculate and tell lies overtly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can provide.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting providers

If a cPanel-based hosting provider has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, multiple web servers must be acquired. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting merchandiser to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, in that setting up one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a problem, plenty of money has to be spent as well. Heaps of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous problem.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting CP interfaces (functioning with the cloud website hosting solution) as well. So, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first you must invent one. In-house. Second of all, you have to set up the website hosting CP too.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Today's popular website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to work on one single server solely. All web hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one single server where these given one-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must create an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will function flawlessly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural component of it. Appropriate examples of custom developed cloud hosting platforms with in-house devised web hosting CPs besides us, at St. Clare Web Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment fares

The minimal contribution required, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting systems can be detected out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and practically cloudless!
