Cloud Website Hosting Definition

In general, the real cloud website hosting platform serves various web hosting services such as data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate stacks of cutting-edge web servers. Each individual service set produces a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all work as one web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a storage space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will construct the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The gigantic cloud web hosting fraud. Quite popular at present.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this popular ignorance, the "cloud website hosting retailers" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the hosting industry there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-controlling body. That is the reason why the website hosting companies speculate and lie openly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they in reality can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting vendor has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, many hosting servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting corporation to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, for creating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a predicament, a lot of cash has to be spent as well. Stacks of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous drawback.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting systems

There are no open source cloud hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel user interfaces (functioning with the cloud website hosting system) either. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first you must develop one. In-house. Second of all, you have to construct the web hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Contemporary website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to perform on one single web server solely. All website hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these particular one-server web hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The absence of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must construct a custom hosting Control Panel that will run uncomplicatedly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Appropriate examples of custom manufactured cloud web hosting systems with in-house devised web hosting Control Panels besides us, at D and Co. Webify, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment fares

The smallest contribution wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically cloudless!
