What is Cloud Website Hosting?

Actually, the actual cloud website hosting solution serves separate hosting services like disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, and so on, on independent bunches of deluxe servers. Each separate service pack creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all run as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in practically equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will compose the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The substantial cloud website hosting swindle. Very modern today.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is intensely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchandisers" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the web hosting industry there are no ordinances at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulatory organization. This is why the web hosting wholesalers speculate and lie blatantly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud web hosting they in reality can furnish.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting retailers

If a cPanel-based web hosting wholesaler has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, many web hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this story. First off, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting wholesaler to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, because of the fact that developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not a problem, a lot of cash has to be spent too. Tons of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a big inconvenience.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There are no open source Control Panel GUIs (working with the cloud web hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first of all you have to make one. In-house. In the second place, you must devise the web hosting CP too.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Modern web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to function on one single web server exclusively. All web hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one single server where these given single-server web hosting systems and Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to invent a custom Control Panel that will work unproblematically and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Suitable instances of in-house created cloud web hosting solutions with in-house developed web hosting CPs besides us, at Fiddyhost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment rates

The smallest investment wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD 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 website hosting platforms can be found out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually unclouded!
