What Exactly is Cloud Web Hosting?

In general, the genuine cloud hosting solution serves separate website hosting services like disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on autonomous stacks of leading edge servers. Each individual service set creates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular 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 real cloud hosting service, there must be: a data storage cluster, an electronic mail 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 autonomous service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The mammoth cloud web hosting swindle. Quite widespread now.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting now. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting providers" speculate fervently, just to secure the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no bylaws at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulative body. That is the reason why the hosting distributors speculate and tell lies openly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting firms

If a cPanel-based hosting company has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, multiple hosting servers have to be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First off, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting company to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, because of the fact that constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a predicament, plenty of cash has to be spent as well. Piles of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast drawback.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting environments

There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There aren't any open source website hosting CP GUIs (operating with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, in the first place you must establish one. In-house. In the second place, you have to establish the hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Modern website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to function on a single web server only. All web hosting services (data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these particular one-server website hosting systems and hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to invent a custom web hosting CP that will work unproblematically and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained constituent of it. Suitable examples of in-house invented cloud web hosting platforms with custom constructed web hosting CPs besides us, at Real Estate Pro Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision charges

The minimal investment required, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud hosting systems can be found out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
