Cloud Web Hosting Unveiled

Actually, the authentic cloud hosting platform serves distinct hosting services like storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent stacks of very powerful servers. Each different service group constitutes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one single server, sharing out the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there would be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will form the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The gigantic cloud web hosting fraud. Quite modern nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud hosting today. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting distributors" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! An immense disgrace. This is because in the web hosting industry there are no enactments at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such regulatory institution. That is why the website hosting retailers speculate and tell lies overtly (quite bluntly, actually) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud web hosting they indeed can distribute.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting distributors

If a cPanel-based website hosting company has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, a lot of hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First off, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting firm to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that establishing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a predicament, lots of money must be spent too. Stacks of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous downside.

The lack of open source cloud hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel user interfaces (running with the cloud website hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to build one. In-house. In the second place, you have to construct the website hosting CP too.

Single server-based website hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to operate on a single server solely. All web hosting services (web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one server where these particular single-server web hosting systems and web hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to fabricate an in-house built web hosting CP that will perform faultlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Proper instances of custom devised cloud website hosting platforms with in-house invented website hosting CPs besides us, at GaySpaceNetwork.com, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision expenses

The smallest contribution wanted, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and nearly unclouded!
