Cloud Web Hosting Definition

In general, the actual cloud hosting solution serves various web hosting services such as storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on autonomous groups of very advanced servers. Each different service set constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing else. They will all function as one single web server, sharing the service's load in practically the same proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there would be: a storage 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, and so on. All these independent service clusters will render the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The colossal cloud website hosting scam. Very widespread these days.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in fact it is greatly complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting companies" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a disgrace! A great disgrace. This is because in the website hosting business there are no ordinances whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such supervising body. That is the reason why the hosting merchants speculate and lie blatantly (very directly, actually) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud web hosting they indeed can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting provider has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, multiple servers must be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting supplier to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a problem, loads of cash must be invested as well. Heaps of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast defect.

The absence of open source cloud hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel devices (running with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to create one. In-house. Second of all, you must establish the Control Panel too.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Famous website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to run on a single web server exclusively. All web hosting services (data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one server where these given one-server website hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to invent a custom web hosting Control Panel that will work perfectly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Suitable instances of in-house made cloud website hosting solutions with in-house built website hosting CPs besides us, at Libertywebhost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision prices

The minimal investment wanted, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
