How Does Cloud Hosting Work?
Actually, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves separate website hosting services like data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent stacks of very powerful web servers. Each different service group forms a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all function as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will make the so-called cloud web hosting platform.
The huge cloud web hosting deceit. Very modern nowadays.
There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud hosting these days. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is very complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting wholesalers" speculate feverishly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! A big disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no rules at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-regulative organization. This is the reason why the web hosting providers speculate and tell lies overtly (quite directly, in fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud hosting they in fact can furnish.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting retailers
If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, numerous web servers have to be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting vendor to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that creating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not a predicament, plenty of money has to be invested as well. Stacks of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge drawback.
The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting solutions
There are no open source cloud website hosting systems. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel instruments (working with the cloud hosting solution) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first you have to invent one. In-house. In the second place, you have to establish the web hosting CP too.
One server-based web hosting Control Panels
Modern website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to run on one server exclusively. All web hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on a single web server where these particular single-server web hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are set up.
The absence of open source hosting CPs
So, you must devise a custom website hosting Control Panel that will run impeccably and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Good examples of in-house manufactured cloud website hosting systems with in-house built hosting Control Panels besides us, at , are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud website hosting hardware equipment expenses
The smallest contribution required, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost cloudless!
