Cloud Web Hosting Revealed

Actually, the actual cloud hosting solution serves separate hosting services like data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on separate groups of very advanced servers. Each different service group creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic 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 independent service clusters will build the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The massive cloud hosting deceit. Very popular now.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is very complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting distributors" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! A vast shame. This is because in the web hosting business niche there are no regulations at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such regulative institution. This is the reason why the web hosting suppliers speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud web hosting they indeed can furnish.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting suppliers

If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, many hosting servers must be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of experienced personnel are not a predicament, a lot of cash has to be spent too. Heaps of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a great downside.

The shortage of open source cloud hosting environments

There are no open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source Control Panel tools (running with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to construct one. In-house. Secondly, you have to make the hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Modern web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to function on one server solely. All web hosting services (web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on a single server where these given one-server hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to set up an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will function unproblematically and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Proper examples of in-house manufactured cloud website hosting solutions with custom developed web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Host MM, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision charges

The minimal investment needed, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud hosting systems can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
