Cloud Website Hosting Explanation

Actually, the actual cloud website hosting solution serves distinct website hosting services such as storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate sets of leading edge servers. Each individual service group creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all perform as one single server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will form the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The huge cloud web hosting fraud. Quite modern at present.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud hosting today. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is extremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. Based on this popular unawareness, the "cloud web hosting corporations" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! A big disgrace. This is because in the web hosting industry there are no regulations at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such legislative body. That is why the hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies overtly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting firms

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, a lot of servers have to be secured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, as devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not a predicament, loads of cash must be invested too. Heaps of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a big disadvantage.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud hosting platforms. There aren't any open source Control Panel instruments (running with the cloud hosting system) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, in the first place you must set up one. In-house. In the second place, you must create the Control Panel too.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Famous web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to function on one server only. All web hosting services (data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one web server where these given one-server web hosting systems and hosting CPs are set up.

The absence of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to make a custom web hosting CP that will run faultlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Suitable examples of in-house built cloud web hosting solutions with in-house developed web hosting Control Panels besides us, at iNet Finland, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment expenses

The minimum investment demanded, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be found out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly unclouded!
