What Actually is Cloud Website Hosting?

Essentially, the actual cloud website hosting platform serves individual hosting services such as storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate packs of very advanced servers. Each single service pack creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing else. They will all perform as one server, sharing the service's load in practically equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there would be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these independent service clusters will make the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The colossal cloud website hosting scam. Very modern today.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting now. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is excessively complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this universal unawareness, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate fiercely, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! An immense disgrace. This is because in the web hosting business there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such supervisory organization. This is the reason why the web hosting traders speculate and lie blatantly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud web hosting they indeed can provide.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting companies

If a cPanel-based website hosting trader has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, a lot of servers must be purchased. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting provider to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that inventing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a predicament, a lot of money has to be invested too. Piles of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a big inconvenience.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel user interfaces (operating with the cloud website hosting solution) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first you must fabricate one. In-house. Secondly, you have to establish the website hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based CPs

Famous website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to perform on one web server solely. All website hosting services (web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one single server where these specific one-server website hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must build a custom website hosting CP that will operate perfectly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Suitable examples of custom manufactured cloud hosting platforms with custom manufactured website hosting CPs besides us, at Comnet Cloud Solutions, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision rates

The minimum investment demanded, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically cloudless!
