How Does Cloud Web Hosting Function?

Actually, the actual cloud web hosting solution serves distinct hosting services like storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, and so on, on different sets of cutting-edge servers. Each individual service group generates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately the same proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will beget the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The massive cloud website hosting fraud. Very modern at the moment.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is highly complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. Based on this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting distributors" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! A huge shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business niche there are no bylaws at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervisory body. That is the reason why the website hosting providers speculate and lie openly (quite directly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting trader has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, numerous web servers have to be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this article. First, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting company to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that establishing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a problem, plenty of money must be invested as well. Heaps of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense predicament.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting CP tools (working with the cloud website hosting system) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, in the first place you have to invent one. In-house. Second of all, you must set up the hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based hosting Control Panels

Today's popular web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to perform on one web server only. All web hosting services (storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these particular one-server web hosting systems and web hosting CPs are installed.

The deficiency of open source CPs

So, you must develop a custom web hosting CP that will function uncomplicatedly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Suitable examples of in-house set up cloud web hosting systems with in-house invented web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Lair Mail, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision expenses

The smallest investment demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so azure... and virtually cloudless!
