Interesting facts about the cloud web space hosting service

Essentially, the real cloud web page hosting platform serves various hosting services like disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web site hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous sets of high-end servers. Each particular service group generates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing else. They will all work as one single server, sharing the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there would be: a storage space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these independent service clusters will create the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The immense cloud webspace hosting scam. Quite popular now.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is greatly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this universal ignorance, the "cloud web site hosting companies" speculate eagerly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A great shame. This is owing to the fact that in the site hosting business niche there are no ordinances at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web page hosting industry has no such self-governing organization. This is the reason why the hosting firms speculate and lie overtly (quite bluntly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they in fact can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based web site hosting wholesaler has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite unlikely, loads of servers have to be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting wholesaler to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that constructing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a problem, plenty of cash has to be invested as well. Stacks of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.

The lack of open source cloud site hosting environments

There are no open source cloud site hosting systems. There aren't any open source web page hosting CP GUIs (running with the cloud hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to set up one. In-house. Second of all, you must build the web hosting CP as well.

One server-based web space hosting Control Panels

Popular web site hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to run on one single web server exclusively. All webspace hosting services (disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one web server where these respective single-server website hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The absence of open source CPs

So, you have to set up an in-house built website hosting CP that will function uncomplicatedly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Proper examples of in-house constructed cloud web hosting platforms with custom devised hosting Control Panels are: Getya Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud webspace hosting hardware equipment prices

The smallest investment wanted, only for the cloud web page hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud site hosting solutions can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
