Curious facts about the cloud webspace hosting service

Essentially, the actual cloud web site hosting solution serves various hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, webspace hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous sets of top-notch web servers. Each individual service group generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one server, sharing out the service's load in almost equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web page hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will create the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The great cloud site hosting fraud. Very common nowadays.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in reality it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular unawareness, the "cloud web page hosting wholesalers" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a disgrace! A vast disgrace. This is because in the web hosting business there are no norms at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The webspace hosting industry niche has no such regulative organization. This is why the hosting corporations speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they actually can offer.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" webspace hosting firms

If a cPanel-based web space hosting supplier has a cloud web space hosting platform at hand, which is very unbelievable, plenty of web servers must be paid for. 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 predicaments are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting provider to keep the cloud web page hosting platform at hand, owing to the fact that building one requires years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not a problem, a lot of money has to be spent too. Stacks of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous obstacle.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud web site hosting environments. There are no open source site hosting Control Panel user interfaces (working with the cloud web page hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web page hosting platform at hand, first you must set up one. In-house. Secondly, you must devise the web page hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Today's popular web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to function on a single server solely. All webspace hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web page hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these given single-server hosting systems and web site hosting CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source hosting CPs

So, you must create a custom web site hosting CP that will function faultlessly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Good instances of in-house manufactured cloud hosting systems with in-house devised hosting CPs are: Alpha-Omega Systems, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web site hosting hardware equipment fees

The minimal contribution wanted, only for the cloud web space hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web space hosting systems can be found out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
