The complete truth about the cloud website hosting service

In general, the authentic cloud site hosting solution serves different hosting services such as web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate stacks of top-quality web servers. Each specific service pack constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one web server, sharing the service's load in practically the same proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there must be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a site hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will render the so-called cloud site hosting platform.

The great cloud hosting deceit. Very common today.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is extremely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this universal unawareness, the "cloud website hosting suppliers" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the web space hosting business there are no tenets at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The webspace hosting industry niche has no such administrative body. This is why the hosting traders speculate and lie overtly (very directly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they indeed can furnish.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web space hosting firms

If a cPanel-based web site hosting supplier has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, plenty of hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this review. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting wholesaler to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that constructing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a problem, lots of money has to be spent as well. Heaps of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense inconvenience.

The lack of open source cloud web space hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud web site hosting environments. There are no open source webspace hosting Control Panel user interfaces (running with the cloud website hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web page hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to invent one. In-house. Second of all, you must make the Control Panel too.

Single server-based site hosting CPs

Today's popular web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to work on one server only. All website hosting services (storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one server where these specific single-server website hosting platforms and web space hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to devise an in-house built web page hosting CP that will perform flawlessly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Good instances of in-house built cloud hosting solutions with custom invented webspace hosting Control Panels are: Smartway Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud website hosting hardware provision charges

The minimum contribution demanded, just for the cloud web page hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web site hosting platforms can be found out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so blue... and nearly cloudless!
