Cloud Website Hosting Definition

In general, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves separate web hosting services like storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, etc., on separate packs of very advanced web servers. Each single service set forms a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing else. They will all work as one server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will build the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The enormous cloud hosting deceit. Very widespread these days.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in fact it is intensely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. Based on this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting traders" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! A huge shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no principles at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such legislative institution. This is why the website hosting retailers speculate and lie blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud hosting they in reality can furnish.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting retailers

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is very unbelievable, a lot of web hosting servers must be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this review. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting trader to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, for devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a predicament, lots of cash has to be spent too. Mountains of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge inconvenience.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting environments

There are no open source cloud website hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel interfaces (working with the cloud web hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to make one. In-house. In the second place, you must make the CP too.

Single server-based website hosting Control Panels

Today's popular hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to perform on one single web server solely. All website hosting services (storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on a single web server where these particular single-server web hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source CPs

So, you have to develop a custom web hosting CP that will run impeccably and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt constituent of it. Proper instances of custom manufactured cloud web hosting systems with in-house created Control Panels besides us, at Master Web Manager, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment expenses

The smallest contribution needed, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting solutions can be discovered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and almost cloudless!
