Cloud Hosting Definition

Essentially, the real cloud hosting solution serves individual hosting services like disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual stacks of high-end web servers. Each specific service pack constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all function as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will produce the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The enormous cloud web hosting scam. Quite common at present.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is excessively complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting traders" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the hosting business there are no decrees whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulative institution. This is the reason why the website hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, in fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud web hosting they actually can distribute.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting companies

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchant has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, many servers have to be secured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this article. First, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting supplier to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, as devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a predicament, plenty of money must be spent too. Heaps of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a great drawback.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting environments

There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel tools (running with the cloud web hosting system) either. So, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first you must devise one. In-house. In the second place, you have to make the website hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Popular website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to function on one single server only. All hosting services (storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one single server where these specific single-server web hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source website hosting CPs

So, you must fabricate a custom web hosting Control Panel that will run flawlessly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Suitable examples of in-house constructed cloud web hosting systems with custom built hosting Control Panels besides us, at Shirinyan Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision prices

The minimal investment needed, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so azure... and almost unclouded!
