Cloud Website Hosting Revealed

In general, the genuine cloud website hosting platform serves different web hosting services such as storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on independent bunches of very advanced web servers. Each separate service set 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 server, sharing out the service's load in almost equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will form the so-called cloud web hosting system.

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

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is extremely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. Based on this common ignorance, the "cloud web hosting wholesalers" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is because in the web hosting industry niche there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-regulative organization. That is why the hosting distributors speculate and tell lies overtly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in reality can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, multiple servers must be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting merchant to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not a predicament, loads of cash must be spent too. Stacks of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge disadvantage.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting systems. There are no open source CP devices (operating with the cloud website hosting system) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, in the first place you must develop one. In-house. Secondly, you have to develop the website hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Today's popular website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to operate on one web server solely. All hosting services (disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one single server where these given one-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to set up a custom website hosting Control Panel that will work uncomplicatedly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Suitable examples of in-house devised cloud website hosting platforms with custom made website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Quintiva, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision costs

The smallest contribution wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting systems can be detected out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
