What Indeed is Cloud Website Hosting?

Essentially, the real cloud hosting solution serves separate website hosting services like web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous packs of deluxe servers. Each separate service group creates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all perform as one single server, sharing the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will build the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The huge cloud web hosting fraud. Quite modern today.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is intensely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular unawareness, the "cloud website hosting companies" speculate strongly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! A vast disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such regulatory organization. That is why the website hosting traders speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they in fact can furnish.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting companies

If a cPanel-based website hosting corporation has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite improbable, a lot of hosting servers have to be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting company to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, as fabricating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not a predicament, loads of money has to be spent as well. Piles of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous disadvantage.

The absence of open source cloud hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel instruments (running with the cloud website hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to establish one. In-house. Secondly, you have to build the website hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Modern website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to run on one server solely. All website hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on a single server where these given single-server web hosting systems and Control Panels are installed.

The absence of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to devise an in-house built web hosting CP that will perform uncomplicatedly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Appropriate instances of custom built cloud website hosting systems with custom created website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Yupeee Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment costs

The minimal contribution needed, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting systems can be discovered out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and almost unclouded!
