The truth about the cloud hosting service

In general, the genuine cloud website hosting platform serves distinct hosting services like web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, site hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate sets of high-end web servers. Each particular service group constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one web server, sharing out the service's load in practically identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there would be: a storage space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these independent service clusters will create the so-called cloud webspace hosting system.

The big cloud web space hosting trick. Quite popular nowadays.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud web page hosting distributors" speculate eagerly, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the webspace hosting business niche there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web page hosting industry has no such regulative body. This is the reason why the site hosting vendors speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they in reality can furnish.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" site hosting corporations

If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud site hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, plenty of hosting servers must be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting merchant to keep the cloud web site hosting platform at hand, because creating one takes years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not a predicament, a lot of cash must be spent too. Mountains of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous inconvenience.

The deficiency of open source cloud web space hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud web page hosting environments. There aren't any open source web space hosting CP user interfaces (working with the cloud web hosting system) either. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to build one. In-house. Secondly, you must construct the site hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Contemporary hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to function on one server exclusively. All hosting services (storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one single server where these respective one-server webspace hosting systems and site hosting Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source Control Panels

So, you have to fabricate an in-house built webspace hosting Control Panel that will work unproblematically and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Suitable instances of custom developed cloud hosting platforms with in-house constructed CPs are: Premium Hosting Web Service, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web site hosting hardware equipment prices

The minimal contribution demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud hosting solutions can be discovered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so azure... and nearly unclouded!
