Cloud Website Hosting Unveiled

Actually, the authentic cloud website hosting platform serves distinct hosting services like disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual packs of very advanced web servers. Each particular service pack constitutes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there would be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The enormous cloud hosting deceit. Quite widespread these days.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem perplexing, but actually it is highly complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this common unawareness, the "cloud website hosting providers" speculate eagerly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the web hosting business niche there are no laws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-governing body. That is why the website hosting companies speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud web hosting they in reality can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, many web servers have to be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting vendor to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, owing to the fact that inventing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not an issue, lots of money must be invested too. Tons of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast problem.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting systems

There are no open source cloud website hosting systems. There aren't any open source Control Panel instruments (operating with the cloud website hosting system) either. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first you have to invent one. In-house. Secondly, you have to construct the web hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Modern hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to work on one web server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on a single server where these given one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to set up an in-house built Control Panel that will run uncomplicatedly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Good instances of custom made cloud web hosting systems with custom built web hosting CPs besides us, at Happy Hosting UK, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment costs

The smallest contribution required, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting solutions can be found out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically unclouded!
