The truth about the cloud site hosting service
Essentially, the actual cloud web space hosting platform serves individual hosting services such as disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting CP, backup, etc., on different hosts of deluxe servers. Each particular service group constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is an authentic 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 web space hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will form the so-called cloud web hosting system.
The substantial cloud hosting fraud. Quite widespread nowadays.
There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is supremely complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this universal unawareness, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! A huge shame. This is due to the fact that in the web space hosting industry there are no norms at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The site hosting industry has no such self-governing organization. That is why the web hosting traders speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, in fact) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can provide.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" webspace hosting providers
If a cPanel-based site hosting corporation has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, loads of web hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting retailer to keep the cloud web space hosting platform at hand, since devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not a predicament, lots of money has to be invested as well. Mountains of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a big predicament.
The lack of open source cloud webspace hosting platforms
There aren't any open source cloud webspace hosting platforms. There aren't any open source site hosting Control Panel tools (running with the cloud web space hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web site hosting system at hand, first you must develop one. In-house. Second of all, you have to create the hosting CP too.
One server-based web space hosting Control Panels
Today's popular web site hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to run on a single web server exclusively. All website hosting services (web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on a single web server where these given single-server webspace hosting platforms and Control Panels are installed.
The shortage of open source webspace hosting Control Panels
So, you have to construct a custom site hosting Control Panel that will work perfectly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Suitable instances of in-house made cloud web hosting systems with custom invented CPs are: UNLI CLOUD, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud web space hosting hardware equipment prices
The smallest investment needed, only for the cloud web space hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web space hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
