Curious details about the cloud web space hosting solution

In general, the actual cloud web hosting solution serves individual hosting services like web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, webspace hosting CP, backup, etc., on individual groups of top-notch servers. Each single service group constitutes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there would be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a webspace hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will build the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The big cloud web hosting swindle. Quite modern at present.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is greatly complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud webspace hosting distributors" speculate eagerly, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! A great shame. This is because in the web site hosting industry there are no ordinances whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such regulatory organization. That is why the hosting corporations speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they indeed can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based web site hosting merchant has a cloud web space hosting platform at hand, which is very unlikely, many web hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting provider to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, as creating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not a problem, a lot of cash has to be invested too. Heaps of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous disadvantage.

The absence of open source cloud hosting systems

There are no open source cloud hosting solutions. There aren't any open source webspace hosting CP user interfaces (working with the cloud hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web space hosting system at hand, in the first place you must devise one. In-house. In the second place, you have to set up the web space hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based webspace hosting Control Panels

Famous Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to run on one single web server exclusively. All web site hosting services (storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, site hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one server where these particular one-server web space hosting platforms and hosting CPs are set up.

The lack of open source CPs

So, you have to construct an in-house built webspace hosting Control Panel that will run faultlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained constituent of it. Proper examples of custom developed cloud hosting solutions with in-house manufactured web hosting CPs are: Profit Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web site hosting hardware equipment charges

The smallest investment required, just for the cloud web page hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and almost cloudless!
