What Does Cloud Website Hosting Signify?

Essentially, the authentic cloud website hosting solution serves different website hosting services such as disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate bunches of very advanced servers. Each separate service pack generates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one server, sharing the service's load in nearly identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will construct the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The enormous cloud web hosting fraud. Quite widespread at the moment.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is intensely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this common ignorance, the "cloud website hosting wholesalers" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such supervisory body. This is the reason why the hosting retailers speculate and lie openly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they indeed can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting vendors

If a cPanel-based web hosting provider has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, loads of web servers have to be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's see what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting trader to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, in that devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not an issue, loads of cash must be invested too. Stacks of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a great obstacle.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting solutions. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel tools (functioning with the cloud hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first you must construct one. In-house. Second of all, you must devise the website hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Famous web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to operate on one web server only. All website hosting services (disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single web server where these particular single-server web hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The absence of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to develop an in-house built web hosting CP that will function flawlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Good instances of custom created cloud website hosting systems with custom invented web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Gemini Core Solutions, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment expenses

The minimal contribution wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting systems can be discovered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically cloudless!
