The full truth about the cloud web site hosting service
In general, the real cloud site hosting solution serves different hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on different sets of very advanced web servers. Each particular service pack forms a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one web server, sharing the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should be: a web space 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, and so on. All these separate service clusters will build the so-called cloud web hosting platform.
The mammoth cloud web space hosting hoax. Very widespread nowadays.
There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is very perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud web space hosting firms" speculate fiercely, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is because in the site hosting business niche there are no norms at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The site hosting industry niche has no such regulatory body. That is the reason why the webspace hosting companies speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they in reality can supply.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web space hosting firms
If a cPanel-based web page hosting vendor has a cloud web site hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, lots of web hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting firm to have the cloud site hosting platform at hand, because making one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a predicament, a lot of cash must be spent too. Stacks of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a big downside.
The absence of open source cloud webspace hosting environments
There aren't any open source cloud site hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting CP user interfaces (running with the cloud web hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web page hosting platform at hand, in the first place you have to develop one. In-house. In the second place, you have to fabricate the web site hosting Control Panel as well.
One server-based site hosting Control Panels
Today's popular website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to work on one server only. All website hosting services (storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one server where these respective one-server hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are set up.
The deficiency of open source webspace hosting Control Panels
So, you have to set up an in-house built Control Panel that will operate faultlessly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Suitable instances of in-house invented cloud hosting solutions with custom invented web hosting CPs are: Patrol Bureau, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud web space hosting hardware equipment fares
The minimum investment demanded, just for the cloud web site hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud webspace hosting systems can be detected out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually unclouded!
