Description of Cloud Website Hosting

In general, the authentic cloud website hosting platform serves separate hosting services like web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on autonomous groups of leading edge web servers. Each different service group constitutes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will form the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The immense cloud web hosting swindle. Quite popular at present.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only sound complicated, but in reality it is supremely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate fiercely, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks a month. What a disgrace! An immense disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no regulations at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such self-governing body. That is why the web hosting wholesalers speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud web hosting they actually can deliver.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting corporations

If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, loads of web servers must be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting wholesaler to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, because of the fact that inventing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a problem, lots of money has to be invested too. Mountains of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous defect.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting environments

There are no open source cloud hosting solutions. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel tools (operating with the cloud web hosting system) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first of all you have to invent one. In-house. Second of all, you must establish the web hosting CP too.

One server-based CPs

Today's popular website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to function on one single server exclusively. All web hosting services (web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one web server where these particular single-server web hosting systems and hosting CPs are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must develop an in-house built web hosting CP that will run impeccably and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Proper instances of in-house manufactured cloud website hosting platforms with in-house developed CPs besides us, at Desk Top Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment costs

The minimal contribution needed, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be discovered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
