Cloud Hosting Description

In general, the authentic cloud hosting platform serves distinct web hosting services such as data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous packs of very powerful servers. Each individual service group makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing else. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The colossal cloud web hosting scam. Quite modern at present.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is very perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! An immense shame. This is because in the website hosting industry niche there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such self-controlling institution. That is why the hosting merchandisers speculate and lie openly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud web hosting they actually can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting supplier has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very unbelievable, lots of hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting distributor to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, owing to the fact that creating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not an issue, loads of cash must be spent too. Mountains of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge predicament.

The shortage of open source cloud hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud hosting systems. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel interfaces (operating with the cloud hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, first of all you must devise one. In-house. Second of all, you have to create the web hosting CP as well.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Today's popular web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to perform on one single web server only. All website hosting services (disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on a single web server where these particular one-server web hosting platforms and Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must construct an in-house built website hosting CP that will operate unproblematically and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Appropriate instances of in-house created cloud web hosting solutions with in-house made web hosting Control Panels besides us, at DNA Tec Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment prices

The minimal investment needed, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically cloudless!
