The absolute truth about the cloud web site hosting service
In general, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves various hosting services such as web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, webspace hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate sets of very advanced web servers. Each individual service group forms a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equal proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web page hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web space hosting platform.
The great cloud hosting fraud. Quite modern now.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is supremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this universal ignorance, the "cloud web page hosting wholesalers" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no rules at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such supervisory body. This is the reason why the web page hosting corporations speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud hosting they in fact can offer.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting companies
If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud site hosting system at hand, which is very improbable, multiple servers must be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First, let's explore what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting firm to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, since developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not an issue, lots of money must be spent too. Mountains of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast inconvenience.
The deficiency of open source cloud site hosting platforms
There aren't any open source cloud webspace hosting systems. There aren't any open source hosting CP tools (functioning with the cloud web page hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to establish one. In-house. Secondly, you have to set up the CP as well.
Single server-based web hosting CPs
Today's popular web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function on one single web server only. All webspace hosting services (data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, site hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one server where these specific one-server web site hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are set up.
The lack of open source CPs
So, you must build a custom web page hosting Control Panel that will work uncomplicatedly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Good instances of in-house constructed cloud web hosting platforms with in-house made hosting CPs are: DXB Fast Host, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud site hosting hardware provision rates
The smallest contribution demanded, just for the cloud site hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web page hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually unclouded!
