The full truth about the cloud webspace hosting solution

In general, the actual cloud web space hosting platform serves distinct hosting services such as disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web page hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous hosts of very powerful servers. Each particular service set constitutes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing the service's load in approximately equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will form the so-called cloud web page hosting platform.

The massive cloud web site hosting hoax. Quite widespread at the moment.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is highly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud webspace hosting wholesalers" speculate strongly, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! A big disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the site hosting business there are no enactments whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such regulatory organization. That is why the web page hosting distributors speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can supply.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web site hosting merchandisers

If a cPanel-based site hosting vendor has a cloud web space hosting platform at hand, which is quite improbable, plenty of hosting servers have to be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. But before we do, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting merchandiser to keep the cloud site hosting platform at hand, due to the fact that devising one requires years. Even when time and the provision of experienced personnel are not an issue, a lot of money must be invested as well. Stacks of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.

The absence of open source cloud hosting environments

There are no open source cloud web space hosting systems. There are no open source web space hosting CP instruments (running with the cloud website hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first you must develop one. In-house. Secondly, you must make the web page hosting CP as well.

Single server-based website hosting Control Panels

Today's popular web site hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to function on a single web server only. All web site hosting services (storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web site hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single server where these particular single-server website hosting systems and web page hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source CPs

So, you must set up a custom webspace hosting CP that will function faultlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Proper examples of custom created cloud web hosting systems with in-house set up hosting Control Panels are: LocatedWeb, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web page hosting hardware equipment fares

The minimal investment wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
