The sheer truth about the cloud hosting service

Essentially, the real cloud web space hosting solution serves various hosting services such as storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, webspace hosting CP, backup, and so on, on independent hosts of high-end web servers. Each single service group forms a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one single server, sharing the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a disk space cluster, a mail 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, etc. All these separate service clusters will make the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The colossal cloud webspace hosting hoax. Quite popular nowadays.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is greatly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting corporations" speculate strongly, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A big shame. This is because in the webspace hosting industry niche there are no ordinances at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web site hosting industry niche has no such administrative body. That is the reason why the website hosting merchants speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they indeed can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting retailers

If a cPanel-based hosting merchant has a cloud web page hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, plenty of hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this story. First, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting retailer to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, since establishing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a problem, lots of money must be invested too. Tons of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast problem.

The shortage of open source cloud web site hosting environments

There are no open source cloud web space hosting platforms. There are no open source web site hosting Control Panel instruments (operating with the cloud webspace hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web site hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to fabricate one. In-house. Secondly, you have to build the website hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based web space hosting Control Panels

Today's popular web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function on one single web server only. All hosting services (disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one server where these particular one-server web hosting platforms and site hosting Control Panels are set up.

The absence of open source site hosting CPs

So, you must set up an in-house built web hosting CP that will operate impeccably and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural component of it. Proper examples of custom made cloud web hosting solutions with custom created Control Panels are: AIDA Host, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web site hosting hardware equipment prices

The minimal contribution needed, only for the cloud webspace hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
