The pure thruth about the cloud web site hosting service
Essentially, the authentic cloud website hosting solution serves individual hosting services like storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, webspace hosting CP, backup, etc., on different stacks of top-quality servers. Each single service set generates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one web server, sharing the service's load in approximately the same proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a webspace hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will make the so-called cloud web hosting system.
The big cloud website hosting hoax. Quite common today.
There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in fact it is greatly complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting wholesalers" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is due to the fact that in the web page hosting business niche there are no laws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The site hosting industry has no such self-governing organization. This is why the web page hosting wholesalers speculate and tell lies openly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they indeed can offer.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" webspace hosting distributors
If a cPanel-based web page hosting provider has a cloud web space hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, multiple web servers have to be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First off, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting company to have the cloud web site hosting system at hand, as making one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not an issue, loads of money must be spent too. Tons of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous drawback.
The lack of open source cloud web space hosting environments
There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel GUIs (operating with the cloud web page hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you must establish one. In-house. Secondly, you have to build the Control Panel as well.
One server-based web hosting CPs
Modern web space hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to perform on one single web server exclusively. All web page hosting services (disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web site hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on a single server where these respective one-server hosting systems and site hosting Control Panels are set up.
The lack of open source web space hosting CPs
So, you must construct a custom website hosting CP that will work impeccably and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Proper instances of custom created cloud web hosting platforms with in-house manufactured website hosting Control Panels are: Web Planet, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud hosting hardware equipment expenses
The minimum investment required, only for the cloud web site hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web page hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly unclouded!
