What is Cloud Website Hosting?

Essentially, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves different web hosting services such as data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous groups of high-end web servers. Each individual service group creates a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing else. They will all run as one single web server, sharing the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there would be: a web space 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, and so on. All these different service clusters will beget the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The big cloud web hosting fraud. Very modern at present.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting now. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting wholesalers" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! A great disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no rules whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such legislative organization. That is the reason why the hosting corporations speculate and lie openly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud web hosting they indeed can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, numerous servers must be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting company to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because fabricating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a predicament, a lot of cash must be invested as well. Stacks of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a big defect.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud hosting environments. There are no open source CP instruments (working with the cloud website hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, in the first place you must make one. In-house. Second of all, you must invent the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Famous web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to run on a single web server only. All website hosting services (disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one server where these respective one-server web hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to develop a custom web hosting Control Panel that will work perfectly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Good examples of in-house manufactured cloud web hosting platforms with in-house developed web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Tservers4 Cloud Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision rates

The minimal contribution wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting platforms can be found out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and almost unclouded!
