Description of Cloud Website Hosting

Essentially, the real cloud hosting solution serves separate website hosting services such as data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual packs of top-notch servers. Each different service group constitutes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will make the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The immense cloud website hosting hoax. Very widespread today.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is highly complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this common ignorance, the "cloud website hosting companies" speculate fiercely, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such regulatory organization. That is why the website hosting vendors speculate and lie overtly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they actually can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting vendor has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is very unbelievable, plenty of web servers have to be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to keep the cloud hosting system at hand, since devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not an issue, plenty of money must be invested as well. Piles of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast obstacle.

The lack of open source cloud hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel user interfaces (operating with the cloud website hosting system) either. So, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first of all you must construct one. In-house. Second of all, you have to establish the hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Popular website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to work on one server solely. All web hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one single server where these respective one-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The absence of open source CPs

So, you must construct a custom web hosting Control Panel that will run perfectly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Good instances of custom made cloud web hosting platforms with custom set up hosting Control Panels besides us, at City Portal, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision costs

The smallest investment needed, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually unclouded!
