What Does Cloud Website Hosting Mean?

Essentially, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves various web hosting services such as data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, etc., on different hosts of very advanced servers. Each different service group produces a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing else. They will all run as one web server, sharing the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will render the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The mammoth cloud website hosting fraud. Quite modern now.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is intensely complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud hosting merchants" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! A great disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the hosting business niche there are no norms whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such supervisory institution. This is the reason why the web hosting providers speculate and lie overtly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in fact can furnish.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting vendors

If a cPanel-based web hosting corporation has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, numerous web servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting firm to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, due to the fact that devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not a problem, lots of money must be spent as well. Piles of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a big defect.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting environments

There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source Control Panel devices (functioning with the cloud website hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, in the first place you have to construct one. In-house. Second of all, you must set up the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based website hosting Control Panels

Contemporary Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to work on a single web server only. All web hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one single web server where these given single-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source hosting Control Panels

So, you must develop an in-house built hosting Control Panel that will perform impeccably and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Good instances of in-house developed cloud web hosting platforms with in-house developed hosting Control Panels besides us, at Pittsburgh Hosting Company, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment fees

The smallest investment required, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting systems can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so azure... and nearly unclouded!
