The sheer truth about the cloud hosting solution

In general, the real cloud webspace hosting solution serves distinct hosting services such as disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web page hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous groups of high-end web servers. Each single service group forms a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a site hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will generate the so-called cloud webspace hosting platform.

The mammoth cloud site hosting deceit. Very common today.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is extremely perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this common ignorance, the "cloud hosting companies" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! A great shame. This is due to the fact that in the site hosting business niche there are no bylaws at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web space hosting industry has no such administrative body. That is the reason why the site hosting distributors speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, actually) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they actually can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web page hosting vendor has a cloud web space hosting system at hand, which is very improbable, numerous web servers must be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting vendor to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, because making one takes years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not an issue, lots of money has to be invested as well. Piles of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge obstacle.

The absence of open source cloud web site hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud hosting environments. There aren't any open source website hosting CP tools (working with the cloud hosting system) as well. So, to have a cloud web space hosting platform at hand, in the first place you must build one. In-house. Secondly, you must devise the web site hosting CP too.

One server-based web space hosting Control Panels

Modern website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to work on one single web server solely. All hosting services (data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on one web server where these given one-server web hosting systems and hosting CPs are installed.

The lack of open source Control Panels

So, you have to construct an in-house built CP that will operate unproblematically and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Good instances of custom constructed cloud hosting systems with in-house created Control Panels are: NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud webspace hosting hardware equipment prices

The smallest investment demanded, only for the cloud web page hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and practically cloudless!
