Cloud Hosting Description

Actually, the authentic cloud hosting platform serves separate hosting services such as storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent bunches of high-end servers. Each different service group forms a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there should be: a data storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will render the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The massive cloud web hosting deceit. Very common now.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting now. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is intensely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting retailers" speculate intensely, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! An immense disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the hosting industry there are no principles at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervisory institution. That is the reason why the web hosting vendors speculate and lie overtly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in reality can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based hosting vendor has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, loads of hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting provider to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because of the fact that setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a predicament, loads of money has to be invested too. Mountains of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a great problem.

The shortage of open source cloud hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web hosting solutions. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel GUIs (working with the cloud website hosting solution) either. Hence, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, in the first place you must establish one. In-house. Secondly, you have to build the web hosting CP too.

Single server-based website hosting Control Panels

Popular CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to work on a single web server only. All web hosting services (web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single server where these particular single-server hosting systems and web hosting CPs are set up.

The absence of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to construct an in-house built web hosting CP that will work flawlessly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Good examples of in-house created cloud website hosting systems with in-house set up web hosting Control Panels besides us, at MalangHost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision expenses

The minimum contribution demanded, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting systems can be found out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and practically cloudless!
