Cloud Hosting Definition

Essentially, the authentic cloud hosting platform serves individual hosting services like data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous groups of avant-garde web servers. Each separate service pack creates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail 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, etc. All these individual service clusters will construct the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The immense cloud web hosting deceit. Quite popular nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is highly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting corporations" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A huge disgrace. This is because in the website hosting industry there are no stipulations at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-governing organization. That is the reason why the web hosting wholesalers speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud web hosting they actually can supply.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting traders

If a cPanel-based website hosting vendor has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, multiple servers must be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting supplier to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, for devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a problem, a lot of money must be spent too. Piles of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a big downside.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting environments

There are no open source cloud website hosting solutions. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel tools (functioning with the cloud web hosting system) either. So, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to set up one. In-house. Secondly, you must develop the website hosting CP as well.

Single server-based website hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to perform on one single server only. All website hosting services (disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single web server where these respective single-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must set up an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will run impeccably and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Suitable instances of in-house manufactured cloud web hosting solutions with custom constructed web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Yupeee Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision fees

The smallest investment required, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically unclouded!
