Cloud Web Hosting Defined

In general, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves individual web hosting services such as storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on different packs of very powerful web servers. Each specific service set makes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing else. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing the service's load in practically equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will render the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The big cloud web hosting fraud. Quite modern at present.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting at present. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is supremely perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting suppliers" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! An immense disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry there are no norms at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-controlling body. This is the reason why the website hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud web hosting they in fact can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting merchandiser has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, lots of servers must be purchased. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this review. First off, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting trader to keep the cloud hosting system at hand, for fabricating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of competent personnel are not an issue, a lot of cash must be invested too. Stacks of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous inconvenience.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud website hosting systems. There aren't any open source web hosting CP GUIs (functioning with the cloud web hosting system) either. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you must develop one. In-house. In the second place, you must build the website hosting CP as well.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to perform on a single server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on a single server where these respective one-server web hosting systems and CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to develop an in-house built Control Panel that will work faultlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible component of it. Proper examples of in-house created cloud web hosting solutions with custom invented website hosting CPs besides us, at BrainChild Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision rates

The smallest investment wanted, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually unclouded!
