What is Cloud Website Hosting?

Actually, the real cloud website hosting platform serves distinct website hosting services such as web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual hosts of avant-garde servers. Each individual service pack produces a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing else. They will all function as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there would be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will construct the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The gigantic cloud website hosting swindle. Very widespread now.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is intensely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this universal unawareness, the "cloud hosting vendors" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is because in the web hosting business niche there are no stipulations at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-controlling body. This is the reason why the web hosting retailers speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud web hosting they in fact can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting distributor has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite improbable, many hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting provider to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, as setting up one requires years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not a problem, a lot of cash must be invested as well. Tons of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a great defect.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel tools (functioning with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first of all you have to invent one. In-house. Secondly, you have to construct the Control Panel too.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Contemporary web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to run on one web server solely. All hosting services (disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one single web server where these specific one-server web hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to create a custom web hosting CP that will work perfectly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Suitable instances of custom built cloud website hosting solutions with custom created web hosting CPs besides us, at HostiFul, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment charges

The minimum investment wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting systems can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and nearly cloudless!
