Cloud Website Hosting Explanation

Actually, the actual cloud website hosting solution serves different website hosting services such as storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate stacks of top-quality servers. Each separate service pack constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one server, sharing out the service's load in practically the same proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The enormous cloud web hosting trick. Quite widespread at the moment.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is intensely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud website hosting providers" speculate fervently, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! A huge disgrace. This is because in the hosting industry niche there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such administrative body. This is the reason why the website hosting traders speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud web hosting they in reality can furnish.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting wholesalers

If a cPanel-based hosting company has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, a lot of servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting supplier to have the cloud hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not a predicament, plenty of money has to be invested too. Stacks of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense inconvenience.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel devices (operating with the cloud web hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to develop one. In-house. In the second place, you have to develop the web hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Popular web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to operate on one single web server only. All web hosting services (web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one web server where these given one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to create an in-house built website hosting CP that will run flawlessly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Good examples of in-house invented cloud web hosting solutions with custom set up web hosting Control Panels besides us, at My Business Companion, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment prices

The smallest investment demanded, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting solutions can be found out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
