The sheer truth about the cloud site hosting service
In general, the authentic cloud web site hosting platform serves different hosting services such as data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate sets of high-end web servers. Each particular service pack constitutes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all work as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there would be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web space hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will beget the so-called cloud web hosting platform.
The big cloud web site hosting fraud. Quite popular these days.
There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is extremely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular unawareness, the "cloud web space hosting traders" speculate intensely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! An immense shame. This is owing to the fact that in the webspace hosting industry there are no ordinances whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The site hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative institution. This is the reason why the web space hosting traders speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they indeed can supply.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" site hosting companies
If a cPanel-based site hosting distributor has a cloud site hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, lots of web hosting servers must be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting vendor to keep the cloud hosting platform at hand, since establishing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not an issue, plenty of money must be spent as well. Tons of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous drawback.
The shortage of open source cloud hosting solutions
There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel instruments (running with the cloud website hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first you have to fabricate one. In-house. In the second place, you must set up the web page hosting Control Panel too.
One server-based website hosting Control Panels
Contemporary hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to operate on one web server solely. All web hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single server where these specific one-server website hosting platforms and site hosting CPs are installed.
The deficiency of open source hosting CPs
So, you must develop a custom web site hosting CP that will operate perfectly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural component of it. Suitable examples of in-house devised cloud hosting solutions with in-house invented hosting CPs are: NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud site hosting hardware provision rates
The minimal investment needed, just for the cloud web page hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly unclouded!
