What Actually is Cloud Web Hosting?

Actually, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves separate web hosting services such as disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual bunches of high-end servers. Each single service group constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing else. They will all run as one single web server, sharing the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will compose the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The substantial cloud hosting scam. Quite widespread today.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in fact it is extremely complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A big disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulatory body. That is why the website hosting wholesalers speculate and lie blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they indeed can furnish.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting retailers

If a cPanel-based web hosting trader has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, a lot of web hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting merchant to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, for establishing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a problem, lots of money must be invested as well. Mountains of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a big defect.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting systems. There are no open source web hosting CP GUIs (operating with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, in the first place you have to construct one. In-house. In the second place, you must establish the web hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Today's popular hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to work on a single web server solely. All website hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these given single-server hosting systems and CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to set up an in-house built web hosting CP that will perform perfectly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Proper instances of in-house built cloud web hosting systems with custom set up hosting Control Panels besides us, at webgeardefault, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision prices

The minimum investment required, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and almost unclouded!
