The pure thruth about the cloud web page hosting service

Essentially, the real cloud site hosting platform serves individual hosting services such as web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, site hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent packs of very powerful web servers. Each specific service group creates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all function as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will build the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The huge cloud web hosting swindle. Quite modern these days.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in reality it is very perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this common ignorance, the "cloud site hosting vendors" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! An immense shame. This is due to the fact that in the hosting business niche there are no regulations at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web space hosting industry has no such regulative body. That is why the site hosting distributors speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they actually can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based webspace hosting distributor has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is very unbelievable, lots of web hosting servers have to be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting firm to keep the cloud site hosting platform at hand, as inventing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not a problem, lots of money has to be spent as well. Tons of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a big disadvantage.

The shortage of open source cloud site hosting systems

There are no open source cloud web site hosting systems. There aren't any open source web site hosting CP GUIs (running with the cloud web site hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud web page hosting platform at hand, first you have to devise one. In-house. In the second place, you have to devise the hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based hosting Control Panels

Today's popular web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to perform on one web server only. All web page hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web space hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one single server where these specific one-server web space hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source webspace hosting Control Panels

So, you must develop an in-house built web site hosting CP that will run unproblematically and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent part of it. Proper examples of custom developed cloud website hosting platforms with custom made web space hosting Control Panels are: PC Aid Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment costs

The minimum contribution demanded, just for the cloud web site hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud site hosting systems can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so azure... and almost cloudless!
