What is Cloud Website Hosting?

In general, the real cloud website hosting solution serves individual web hosting services like disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual groups of deluxe web servers. Each individual service group produces a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing aside from it. They will all function as one web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The gigantic cloud web hosting deceit. Very modern now.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is greatly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchandisers" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no laws at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such administrative institution. That is the reason why the website hosting retailers speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they in fact can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting corporation has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, plenty of web servers must be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting trader to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, in that devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of competent personnel are not a problem, plenty of money must be invested too. Mountains of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a great problem.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting environments

There are no open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel GUIs (functioning with the cloud website hosting system) either. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to invent one. In-house. In the second place, you must invent the website hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Contemporary web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to function on a single web server only. All web hosting services (web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these particular one-server hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source Control Panels

So, you must establish an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will work perfectly and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Proper examples of in-house manufactured cloud hosting solutions with custom devised website hosting Control Panels besides us, at NewBrand Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision costs

The minimal contribution required, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so azure... and almost cloudless!
