Description of Cloud Website Hosting

In general, the actual cloud website hosting solution serves various website hosting services such as storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous packs of very advanced web servers. Each different service group forms a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one single web server, sharing the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there must be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will form the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The great cloud web hosting deceit. Very popular today.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is very perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. Based on this universal unawareness, the "cloud website hosting merchandisers" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! A huge shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no tenets whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-regulative body. That is why the hosting merchandisers speculate and lie blatantly (quite bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting merchants

If a cPanel-based web hosting distributor has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, lots of web hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting firm to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, since setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of competent personnel are not a problem, a lot of money must be invested too. Heaps of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense obstacle.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting systems

There are no open source cloud web hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting CP instruments (running with the cloud website hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to fabricate one. In-house. In the second place, you have to invent the website hosting CP as well.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Popular web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to operate on a single web server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on a single server where these particular one-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to create a custom web hosting CP that will work impeccably and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Appropriate examples of custom created cloud website hosting systems with in-house created hosting Control Panels besides us, at enetcreation, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision rates

The minimal contribution required, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
