The absolute truth about the cloud web site hosting solution
Actually, the authentic cloud web page hosting platform serves separate hosting services such as web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, and so on, on autonomous bunches of top-quality servers. Each separate service pack creates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the given service and nothing else. They will all run as one single web server, sharing the service's load in approximately identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web site hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will make the so-called cloud site hosting system.
The substantial cloud web space hosting hoax. Quite popular these days.
There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only seem perplexing, but actually it is intensely perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting firms" speculate eagerly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! An enormous shame. This is because in the site hosting industry there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web space hosting industry has no such self-controlling organization. That is why the web space hosting firms speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in reality can deliver.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" site hosting corporations
If a cPanel-based web site hosting company has a cloud webspace hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, a lot of servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting vendor to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because of the fact that making one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not a problem, lots of cash must be spent too. Heaps of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense problem.
The absence of open source cloud web hosting environments
There are no open source cloud webspace hosting platforms. There are no open source web space hosting Control Panel user interfaces (functioning with the cloud site hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud site hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to devise one. In-house. In the second place, you have to fabricate the CP too.
One server-based web page hosting CPs
Popular site hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function on a single web server only. All web page hosting services (disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web site hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single web server where these respective single-server hosting platforms and CPs are set up.
The shortage of open source web hosting Control Panels
So, you have to construct an in-house built hosting Control Panel that will work flawlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Suitable instances of in-house set up cloud hosting systems with custom set up web space hosting Control Panels are: Irwin Associates Web Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud web page hosting hardware provision rates
The minimum investment required, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud webspace hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
