What Does Cloud Hosting Denote?

Essentially, the authentic cloud website hosting solution serves different web hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on separate hosts of leading edge servers. Each particular service set makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing else. They will all operate as one server, sharing the service's load in practically equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there would be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will compose the so-called cloud hosting system.

The enormous cloud web hosting swindle. Very common at present.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in fact it is greatly complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. Based on this common ignorance, the "cloud web hosting providers" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the hosting industry niche there are no norms whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such regulatory body. That is the reason why the website hosting corporations speculate and lie blatantly (quite bluntly, actually) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud web hosting they in reality can offer.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting suppliers

If a cPanel-based web hosting wholesaler has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, multiple web hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this article. First off, let's explore what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting wholesaler to have the cloud hosting system at hand, because of the fact that making one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a competent staff are not a predicament, lots of cash must be spent as well. Heaps of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous problem.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There are no open source website hosting CP devices (running with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first you have to devise one. In-house. Secondly, you have to create the hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Modern web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to operate on a single web server only. All hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one single web server where these respective single-server web hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are installed.

The absence of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to devise a custom website hosting CP that will function faultlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Appropriate examples of in-house made cloud web hosting platforms with custom constructed hosting CPs besides us, at Tiras Web Solutions, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision fares

The minimal contribution required, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000. 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, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
