The whole truth about the cloud webspace hosting service
Essentially, the actual cloud web space hosting solution serves various hosting services like disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web site hosting CP, backup, and so on, on independent hosts of high-end servers. Each different service set constitutes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing else. They will all function as one single server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will create the so-called cloud web hosting platform.
The immense cloud website hosting fraud. Very popular these days.
There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is supremely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting retailers" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is because in the web hosting business there are no rules at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web space hosting industry has no such supervising organization. This is why the site hosting firms speculate and lie blatantly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they indeed can furnish.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting suppliers
If a cPanel-based webspace hosting distributor has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very improbable, loads of hosting servers have to be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting trader to have the cloud web page hosting system at hand, as creating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not an issue, a lot of cash must be invested as well. Heaps of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous defect.
The absence of open source cloud website hosting platforms
There are no open source cloud website hosting solutions. There aren't any open source web page hosting Control Panel tools (working with the cloud web hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first you must set up one. In-house. Secondly, you have to invent the web site hosting CP as well.
Single server-based website hosting CPs
Popular web page hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to run on a single server only. All hosting services (disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, webspace hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one single web server where these specific single-server web hosting platforms and web space hosting CPs are installed.
The absence of open source hosting CPs
So, you have to establish a custom web hosting CP that will function impeccably and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Proper examples of in-house developed cloud hosting platforms with custom constructed hosting Control Panels are: Canyon Computer, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud hosting hardware provision prices
The minimal contribution demanded, just for the cloud web site hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
