What In Fact is Cloud Web Hosting?

In general, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves various website hosting services like disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting CP, backup, and so on, on different groups of cutting-edge servers. Each individual service group creates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in practically equal proportions. If there is an authentic 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 statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will beget the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The substantial cloud website hosting fraud. Quite popular these days.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting these days. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is very perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. Based on this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business niche there are no enactments at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulatory institution. This is the reason why the website hosting vendors speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they indeed can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting corporations

If a cPanel-based website hosting wholesaler has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, lots of web servers have to be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting corporation to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that creating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not an issue, lots of money has to be invested too. Mountains of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast defect.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting CP instruments (operating with the cloud web hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you must construct one. In-house. Second of all, you must make the website hosting CP as well.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Famous website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to operate on one server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single server where these given one-server website hosting systems and website hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to build a custom web hosting CP that will work uncomplicatedly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Proper instances of in-house manufactured cloud website hosting platforms with in-house manufactured web hosting CPs besides us, at Dimahost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment charges

The smallest contribution wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and virtually cloudless!
