The facts about the cloud hosting solution

In general, the authentic cloud webspace hosting solution serves individual hosting services like storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, webspace hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent hosts of high-end web servers. Each separate service set constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will produce the so-called cloud web site hosting platform.

The great cloud hosting deceit. Very popular now.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud webspace hosting retailers" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is because in the website hosting industry niche there are no decrees whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web page hosting industry niche has no such supervising organization. That is why the hosting retailers speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they in reality can deliver.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web page hosting merchandisers

If a cPanel-based site hosting vendor has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, plenty of web servers must be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting provider to keep the cloud web space hosting system at hand, as fabricating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not an issue, a lot of money has to be invested as well. Piles of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast problem.

The absence of open source cloud site hosting systems

There are no open source cloud hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web page hosting Control Panel tools (operating with the cloud site hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud webspace hosting system at hand, first of all you must establish one. In-house. Second of all, you must build the web space hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based site hosting CPs

Today's popular webspace hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to perform on one single web server only. All web page hosting services (web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web site hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these respective one-server website hosting systems and web site hosting CPs are installed.

The lack of open source site hosting Control Panels

So, you have to develop a custom web space hosting CP that will work faultlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Suitable examples of in-house manufactured cloud web hosting platforms with custom made website hosting Control Panels are: ByoHosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment rates

The minimal investment demanded, just for the cloud web space hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud web page hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and almost unclouded!
