Cloud Hosting Description

In general, the real cloud website hosting solution serves distinct hosting services such as storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, and so on, on different bunches of top-quality servers. Each individual service pack makes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all operate as one single server, sharing out the service's load in almost equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a storage space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The substantial cloud web hosting fraud. Quite popular nowadays.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is supremely perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate eagerly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business niche there are no rules whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervising institution. This is why the hosting vendors speculate and lie blatantly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud web hosting they in fact can furnish.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting merchandisers

If a cPanel-based website hosting trader has a cloud hosting platform at hand, which is quite improbable, loads of web hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First off, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting trader to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, as devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not a predicament, a lot of cash has to be spent too. Heaps of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense disadvantage.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud hosting systems. There are no open source CP user interfaces (working with the cloud web hosting system) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first of all you must develop one. In-house. Secondly, you have to develop the web hosting CP as well.

One server-based CPs

Today's popular website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to run on one web server solely. All web hosting services (web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one single web server where these particular single-server website hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to fabricate an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will perform uncomplicatedly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural component of it. Good examples of custom made cloud web hosting solutions with custom developed web hosting Control Panels besides us, at CXF Host, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision fees

The minimum investment required, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost cloudless!
