The full truth about the cloud web page hosting service
Essentially, the authentic cloud web space hosting platform serves various hosting services such as storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, site hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on different groups of high-end web servers. Each different service group produces a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately identical proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will beget the so-called cloud web page hosting system.
The massive cloud web site hosting swindle. Very widespread at present.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is highly perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting suppliers" speculate feverishly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! A vast disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the site hosting business niche there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such legislative institution. This is the reason why the web hosting vendors speculate and lie blatantly (very directly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they in reality can deliver.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting suppliers
If a cPanel-based webspace hosting company has a cloud web page hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, loads of web hosting servers have to be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this story. First, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting vendor to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, as developing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a problem, lots of money has to be spent as well. Tons of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a great obstacle.
The shortage of open source cloud website hosting platforms
There aren't any open source cloud hosting solutions. There are no open source web space hosting CP user interfaces (running with the cloud web site hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud site hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to develop one. In-house. In the second place, you have to set up the hosting CP as well.
Single server-based web page hosting CPs
Popular web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to run on one single web server only. All web space hosting services (storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, site hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these specific single-server site hosting platforms and web page hosting Control Panels are installed.
The deficiency of open source site hosting CPs
So, you have to establish an in-house built website hosting CP that will operate flawlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Proper examples of in-house manufactured cloud web hosting solutions with custom invented web page hosting Control Panels are: H T V HOSTING, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud website hosting hardware equipment fees
The minimum contribution needed, just for the cloud site hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud webspace hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
