What Indeed is Cloud Web Hosting?
In general, the real cloud web hosting solution serves distinct web hosting services such as disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, etc., on different packs of very powerful web servers. Each different service set makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all run as one single web server, sharing the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, an electronic 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 independent service clusters will render the so-called cloud web hosting system.
The huge cloud web hosting trick. Very widespread at present.
There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud website hosting merchandisers" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the hosting industry niche there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such supervising institution. That is the reason why the hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud web hosting they in fact can distribute.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting retailers
If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, a lot of web servers have to be secured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this article. First, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting firm to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, for making one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a predicament, plenty of cash must be invested too. Heaps of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense disadvantage.
The shortage of open source cloud web hosting platforms
There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source web hosting CP tools (running with the cloud web hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to set up one. In-house. Secondly, you have to develop the hosting CP as well.
Single server-based web hosting Control Panels
Today's popular web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to operate on a single server only. All website hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on a single server where these particular one-server website hosting systems and CPs are set up.
The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels
So, you have to make a custom web hosting Control Panel that will perform uncomplicatedly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Proper examples of in-house manufactured cloud web hosting platforms with custom built website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Valeno Web Hosting Solutions, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud web hosting hardware equipment prices
The smallest contribution needed, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly unclouded!
