How Does Cloud Web Hosting Work?

In general, the real cloud web hosting solution serves various website hosting services such as storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous hosts of very powerful web servers. Each particular service set creates a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single web server, sharing the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will form the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The substantial cloud website hosting hoax. Quite modern at the moment.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting now. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is extremely complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this popular ignorance, the "cloud website hosting corporations" speculate eagerly, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a shame! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such administrative organization. That is why the hosting companies speculate and lie openly (quite bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they indeed can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting wholesaler has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very improbable, many web hosting servers must be purchased. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting supplier to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, as establishing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a predicament, plenty of cash has to be spent as well. Stacks of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense drawback.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting environments. There aren't any open source Control Panel devices (operating with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, in the first place you must fabricate one. In-house. Secondly, you have to construct the web hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Popular CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to function on a single server solely. All web hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one single server where these respective one-server hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must build an in-house built CP that will work impeccably and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural part of it. Proper instances of in-house developed cloud web hosting platforms with in-house manufactured website hosting CPs besides us, at Polonia Servers, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment prices

The minimal contribution demanded, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting solutions can be discovered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically unclouded!
