What Does Cloud Website Hosting Stand for?

Actually, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves different web hosting services like data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate hosts of very advanced web servers. Each individual service set makes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one server, sharing the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there must be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The enormous cloud web hosting hoax. Very common at the moment.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is supremely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting companies" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks per month. What a shame! A great shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no norms at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervisory institution. That is why the hosting wholesalers speculate and lie openly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they in reality can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting distributor has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, many web servers have to be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this story. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting merchant to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, in that making one takes years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not an issue, lots of cash must be spent as well. Tons of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense predicament.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel GUIs (working with the cloud website hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first you have to create one. In-house. Second of all, you have to fabricate the web hosting CP as well.

Single server-based hosting CPs

Popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to work on one server solely. All website hosting services (data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single server where these respective single-server hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must construct an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will function faultlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Suitable instances of custom made cloud website hosting platforms with in-house invented web hosting CPs besides us, at HostFlex, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision costs

The smallest contribution needed, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and virtually cloudless!
