Cloud Web Hosting Definition

Actually, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves separate web hosting services like storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual stacks of very advanced servers. Each single service group creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one single server, sharing out the service's load in practically identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will produce the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The immense cloud website hosting deceit. Very widespread at present.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in fact it is greatly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting merchandisers" speculate eagerly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! A big disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no stipulations whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such self-governing institution. This is the reason why the web hosting firms speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud web hosting they actually can supply.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting providers

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, plenty of web servers have to be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting merchant to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that fabricating one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a problem, loads of cash must be invested too. Tons of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast defect.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting environments

There are no open source cloud web hosting environments. There are no open source website hosting CP tools (functioning with the cloud web hosting system) either. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first you have to devise one. In-house. In the second place, you must develop the website hosting CP as well.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Famous Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to work on one single server solely. All website hosting services (disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on a single web server where these given one-server website hosting systems and hosting Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source Control Panels

So, you have to make a custom web hosting Control Panel that will operate flawlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Appropriate instances of in-house set up cloud web hosting platforms with in-house set up web hosting Control Panels besides us, at SCI-SERVERS, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision rates

The minimal contribution demanded, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and almost cloudless!
