How Cloud Website Hosting Operates

Actually, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves individual website hosting services like data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate groups of avant-garde web servers. Each specific service pack makes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all run as one single server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will render the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The big cloud web hosting trick. Very widespread now.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting these days. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. Based on this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting wholesalers" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no decrees at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such supervising institution. That is why the hosting wholesalers speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in reality can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting corporation has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, a lot of hosting servers have to be purchased. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting vendor to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, for creating one takes years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not an issue, lots of cash has to be invested as well. Heaps of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel tools (functioning with the cloud website hosting system) either. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first of all you have to make one. In-house. Second of all, you must construct the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Today's popular website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to operate on one web server exclusively. All website hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these respective one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The lack of open source Control Panels

So, you must make a custom website hosting Control Panel that will perform perfectly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Appropriate examples of custom manufactured cloud web hosting solutions with custom made website hosting CPs besides us, at Safilink: All Web Services, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision expenses

The smallest contribution required, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and $80,000. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be found out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically unclouded!
