Curious facts about the cloud web space hosting service

In general, the authentic cloud web hosting platform serves individual hosting services such as web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, and so on, on individual packs of avant-garde servers. Each specific service set forms a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one server, sharing the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there would be: a storage space cluster, an electronic 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, and so on. All these individual service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web site hosting system.

The big cloud web site hosting fraud. Quite common nowadays.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in fact it is greatly complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud web site hosting merchants" speculate eagerly, just to secure the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web page hosting business there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web space hosting industry has no such administrative organization. This is why the web site hosting vendors speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they indeed can offer.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting distributors

If a cPanel-based web site hosting supplier has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, plenty of web servers have to be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting merchant to have the cloud site hosting platform at hand, in that constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not a problem, a lot of money has to be invested as well. Heaps of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge obstacle.

The shortage of open source cloud web page hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web space hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel devices (functioning with the cloud web page hosting platform) either. Hence, to have a cloud webspace hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to set up one. In-house. Secondly, you must set up the hosting CP too.

One server-based webspace hosting CPs

Contemporary website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to run on one server only. All hosting services (web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one server where these given single-server web space hosting systems and site hosting CPs are installed.

The absence of open source web space hosting CPs

So, you must build an in-house built site hosting CP that will operate impeccably and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Proper instances of custom made cloud web hosting systems with custom built hosting Control Panels are: TopDomainCheck.com, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web site hosting hardware provision prices

The minimum investment demanded, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
