Cloud Hosting Explanation

Essentially, the genuine cloud web hosting solution serves different hosting services such as disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent packs of deluxe servers. Each particular service pack makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single server, sharing the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there must be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will generate the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The huge cloud web hosting trick. Quite widespread these days.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is very perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this popular ignorance, the "cloud website hosting retailers" speculate fiercely, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! A big shame. This is because in the website hosting industry niche there are no decrees at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervising organization. This is the reason why the website hosting corporations speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud web hosting they in reality can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting supplier has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, lots of hosting servers have to be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting corporation to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, in that developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of professional personnel are not a problem, plenty of money has to be spent as well. Tons of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a great defect.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel GUIs (operating with the cloud hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first you must build one. In-house. Second of all, you must construct the website hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Today's popular Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to work on one web server exclusively. All web hosting services (web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one single server where these specific one-server website hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are installed.

The lack of open source CPs

So, you have to establish an in-house built Control Panel that will run uncomplicatedly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Suitable instances of custom created cloud web hosting solutions with in-house invented web hosting CPs besides us, at Sedasoft Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision costs

The minimal contribution wanted, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
