Cloud Website Hosting Description

In general, the genuine cloud website hosting platform serves individual web hosting services like web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate sets of deluxe web servers. Each specific service group makes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all perform as one single server, sharing the service's load in practically equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there would be: a storage space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will render the so-called cloud hosting system.

The great cloud web hosting swindle. Quite widespread nowadays.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is extremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. Based on this popular unawareness, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a disgrace! A huge disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no enactments whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such legislative organization. This is the reason why the website hosting corporations speculate and tell lies overtly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud web hosting they in fact can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based hosting distributor has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, many web servers have to be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting wholesaler to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, as inventing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified staff are not an issue, loads of cash must be spent as well. Heaps of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge downside.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting environments

There are no open source cloud web hosting solutions. There aren't any open source CP user interfaces (running with the cloud web hosting system) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to fabricate one. In-house. In the second place, you have to establish the web hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Modern web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to work on one web server exclusively. All web hosting services (storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one server where these particular single-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source CPs

So, you must build an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will perform uncomplicatedly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural component of it. Suitable examples of in-house developed cloud website hosting solutions with in-house developed website hosting Control Panels besides us, at hostleonard, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment costs

The smallest contribution wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting platforms can be found out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost cloudless!
