What Does Cloud Web Hosting Represent?

In general, the actual cloud web hosting platform serves separate website hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, and so on, on independent sets of leading edge web servers. Each different service set produces a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing else. They will all function as one single server, sharing the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will generate the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The huge cloud hosting swindle. Quite common today.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting today. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is intensely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this popular ignorance, the "cloud hosting retailers" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the website hosting industry niche there are no ordinances at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulatory institution. This is the reason why the website hosting merchants speculate and lie overtly (very directly, in fact) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they indeed can supply.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting merchants

If a cPanel-based hosting distributor has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, many web hosting servers have to be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First, let's explore what the cloud problems are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting provider to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, due to the fact that establishing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not a problem, a lot of cash must be spent too. Piles of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a big problem.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel interfaces (functioning with the cloud web hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you must construct one. In-house. Second of all, you must make the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to work on a single server solely. All web hosting services (data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one web server where these particular one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The lack of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must fabricate a custom CP that will run unproblematically and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Appropriate instances of in-house constructed cloud website hosting solutions with custom built web hosting CPs besides us, at Sedasoft Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision fees

The minimal investment wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
