What Exactly is Cloud Web Hosting?

In general, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves various website hosting services like disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual bunches of deluxe servers. Each individual service pack forms a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all function as one single server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there would be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will produce the so-called cloud hosting system.

The substantial cloud website hosting trick. Quite widespread at present.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting now. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is extremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting distributors" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! A big shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no laws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-controlling body. This is why the website hosting traders speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based hosting vendor has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is very unbelievable, lots of web hosting servers must be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting merchandiser to keep the cloud hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that fabricating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified staff are not a problem, plenty of money has to be invested too. Tons of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge drawback.

The lack of open source cloud web hosting systems

There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel interfaces (functioning with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you must develop one. In-house. In the second place, you have to build the web hosting CP as well.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

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

The deficiency of open source hosting Control Panels

So, you must devise an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will function perfectly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible part of it. Appropriate instances of in-house set up cloud website hosting systems with custom manufactured web hosting CPs besides us, at Polonia Servers, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision charges

The minimal contribution demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
