The facts about the cloud web page hosting service

Essentially, the real cloud web site hosting platform serves distinct hosting services such as storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, webspace hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous packs of cutting-edge web servers. Each different service set makes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one web server, sharing the service's load in approximately equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web site hosting platform.

The huge cloud web site hosting hoax. Very popular today.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is very complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud webspace hosting suppliers" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web page hosting industry niche there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such legislative body. That is why the webspace hosting firms speculate and tell lies openly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in reality can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based web space hosting provider has a cloud web space hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, lots of web hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First, let's find out what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting corporation to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, since inventing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a competent staff are not a problem, plenty of cash must be invested too. Mountains of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast drawback.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud webspace hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web space hosting Control Panel user interfaces (operating with the cloud web hosting system) either. So, to have a cloud web space hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to make one. In-house. Second of all, you must invent the web space hosting CP as well.

Single server-based webspace hosting Control Panels

Modern site hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to perform on a single server only. All site hosting services (storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, site hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one single server where these given single-server webspace hosting systems and hosting CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source website hosting CPs

So, you must fabricate a custom web site hosting Control Panel that will perform flawlessly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Appropriate examples of custom built cloud hosting solutions with in-house developed site hosting CPs are: MTBN.NET, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web site hosting hardware equipment prices

The smallest contribution wanted, just for the cloud site hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web page hosting platforms can be found out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly cloudless!
